The stream meander is the course the water in the stream follows

An intermittent hot spring in which a column of water shoots up with great force at various intervals is a geyser

Continental glaciers are small glaciers that exist in high mountains

The way a glacier moves depends on the balance, or lack of balance, between accumulation and wastage

The ability of a stream to carry a load is determined by its capacity

The water cycle occurs when energy from the sun evaporates water from the surface. The moist air rises, cools and condenses into cloud droplets. Precipitation then falls from the clouds to the ground, where it begins again

Groundwater moves by twisting and turning through the interconnected small openings in rock and soil

The water cycle gets its energy from the sun

Artificial levees and dams are structures used to control flooding

A V-shaped glacial horn results after a glacier moves through a narrow U-shaped valley

Stream deposition occurs when a stream has less ability to carry sediment because its velocity has decreased. As a result, the sediment begins to settle out.

The volume of water flowing past a certain point in a given unit of time is the streams capacity.

The only ice sheets that exist today are found covering Canada and Russia

An imaginary line called a watershed separates the drainage basin of one stream from another.

Streams that flow over floodplains often move in wide curves called meanders.
