Earth Science Chapter 9 & 10 Review

Springs that are heated from the magma inEarth’s crust.

This occurs when water spillsover the sides of a stream’s banks onto the adjacent land.

A wetland that is notstream-fed and contains lots of sphagnum moss.

The ability of a material tolet water flow through it.

  Springs that occur in karstregions.

The area of a stream thatleads into the ocean or another large body of water.

Impermeable layers that arebarriers to groundwater flow.

A depression in the groundcaused by the collapse of a cave

Explosive hot springs.

The zone above the watertable where the soil is moist and air fills the pore spaces.

The volume ofstream water that flows past a particular location within a given period oftime.

Broad flat area extending out from stream’s bank & covered by excess water during flooding.   

A type of dripstone thatforms on the floor of a cave.

When surrounding watershed enriches bodies of water w/ nutrients that stimulate plant growth.

Fan-shaped deposits ofsediment at the base of a mountain.

   All of the land area whosewater drains into a stream system.

Natural discharges ofgroundwater.

Any land area that iscovered with water for part of the year.

Decayed organic matter foundin soil.

 Water flowing down slopealong Earth’s surface.

A type of dripstone thatforms on the cave ceiling.

The slope of a stream thatcauses water to be pulled by gravity.

 A bend or curve in a streamchannel.

This is formed when ameander gets blocked off.

The method of transport ofsediment that is too large or heavy to be held up by turbulent water.

When moving water carves anarrow pathway into the sediment or rock.

A natural undergroundopening with a connection to Earth’s surface.

 Permeable sediment and rockthat groundwater flows through.

Region below Earth’ssurface where groundwater completely fills all the pores of a material.

Forms along the mouths of streamswhere plants have shallow roots.

Low-lying areas near streamsthat usually develop from marshes.

 Transport of particles small enough to be held up by the turbulence of  stream’s movingwater.

    The material that a streamcarries.

The triangular deposit ofsediment that forms when a stream enters a large body of water.

 The upper boundary of thezone of saturation.
