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.
