Water on Earth 2020 Part 3

Match it! Select the correct answer from the pull down...Good luck!

When the surface water moves away from the shore, it is replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean. The movement of deep ocean water to the surface is called (undertow-upwelling).

Surface water comes from (transpiration-precipitation) such as snow and rain.

The Coriolis effect is the (reflection-deflection) of moving objects from a straight path because of Earth's rotation.

An ocean (stream-current) is a constant flow of water along a path in the ocean.

An (aquifer-well) is a body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater.

If water cannot flow freely, an aquifer has a (low-high) permeability.

An unconfined aquifer is usually closer to Earth's surface where precipitation seeps down from above. The upper surface of an unconfined aquifer is called the water (table-source).

Three factors that affect surface currents are the wind, continental deflection, and the (Borealis-Coriolis) effect.
