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

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).

Confined aquifers are often found (above-below) unconfined aquifers.

Groundwater is a (insignificant-significant) source of drinking water.

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

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

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

If the current is at, or near, the ocean surface, it's called a (deep-surface) current.

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

Water near the surface of the ocean around the equator is usually (warmer-colder) than water in other parts of the ocean.

Warm water is (less-more) dense than colder water.

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).

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