Study Notes

Water Cycle

  • Water moves between the atmosphere, land, oceans, and living things.
  • Solid water can directly change to water vapor without first becoming a liquid (sublimation).
  • Some water on land seeps into the ground.
  • Plants release water vapor into the air (transpiration).

Oceans

  • The amount and type of dissolved salts and the amount and type of gases in saltwater are important factors in ocean characteristics.
  • Oceans have steam-like movement of water.

Groundwater

  • An aquifer is a body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows it to flow.

Earth Processes

  • Any disturbance that transfers energy through matter or empty space is a wave.
  • The Coriolis effect is the apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation.

Ocean Features

  • A continental shelf is a relatively flat underwater extension of the continent which is the land above water.
  • A trench is a long, narrow depression in the deep ocean basin.
  • Seamounts are submerged volcanic mountains on the ocean floor.
  • A mid-ocean ridge is a long undersea mountain chain that forms along the floor of the ocean.
  • An abyssal plain is the large flat, almost level area of the deep ocean basin.
