Chapter 11- The Flow of Fresh Water
-A stream that flows into a lake or a bigger stream is called a tributary.
-An area along a river that is formed from sediment being deposited when a river overflows is called a floodplain.
-A rocks ability to let water go through it is called permeability.
-A watershed is an area of land that is drained by a water system.
A divide is a boundary between drainage areas that have streams that flow in different directions.
-An artesian spring is a stream that has flowing water that comes from a crack in the aquifer.
- A well is a man-made hole that is deeper than the level of water.

-Point-source pollution comes from a certain place while nonpoint-source pollution comes from many different places.
-Caves mainly from erosion from groundwater.
-Dissolved oxygen is necessary for animals in water to live.
-During primary treatment at a sewage treatment plant dirty water passes through a large screen.
-Surface water comes into an aquifer by open spaces, or pores, between particles.
-Caves are found in places with a lot of limestone because they are made from, dissolved limestone.
-water table:upper surface of underground water upper boundary of the cone of saturation.
-porosity: percentage of the total volume of a rock or sediment that consists of open spaces.
-permeability:ability of rocks to let fluids pass through its open spaces.
-zone of aeration: upper zone where water seep into the ground.
-sone of saturation: lower zone where water seeps into the ground.
- water moves sediments in erosion and it lays down sediments in deposition.
-Features of a river channel that have a steep gradient are water flows quickly,deep, and terraces form on both sides of the river.
Water vapor loses energy during the process of condensation while water vapor cools and changes into drops of water/snow.
