Unit C, Chapter 1 Review
1. Which word describes an increase in nutrients in a lake or
pond? (eutrophication)
2. Which kind of well does not need a pump? (artesian)
3. Which term describes a seasonal change in a lake?
(turnover)
4. Which term describes a substance through which water can
pass? (permeable)
5. Which term names the continuous movement of water
through Earth’s environment? (water cycle)
6. What is the name for an enormous chunk of floating ice?
(iceberg)
7. What word means the turning of liquid water into a gas?
(evaporation)
8. What is the name of water stored in an aquifer?
(groundwater)
9. What word is another name for rain, snow, sleet or hail?
(precipitation)
10. What are the three forms of water on Earth?
b) liquid water, frozen water, and water vapor.
11. How much of Earth’s water is fresh water?
c. very little (3%)
12. Which process forms clouds?
c. condensation
13. What ice formation covers Greenland and Antarctica?
d. continental glacier
14. Which is a characteristic of a pond?
a. rooted plants covering the entire bottom
15. How are glaciers like rivers?
c. they flow downhill
16. How is water stored in an aquifer?
b. in cracks and spaces in rocks
17. Most of Earth’s water is in the ocean. Therefore, huge
quantities of water evaporate from the ocean, condense into clouds,
and fall as precipitation over it.
18. Icebergs form when a piece of a glacier or ice shelf breaks off
along a coastline.
19. Aquifers are valuable because they hold enormous quantities
of fresh, drinkable water that is safe from evaporation. Even desert
climates have aquifers.
20. A valley glacier is formed in a mountain region and flows
downward between mountains. A continental glacier is more like
a great sheet of ice and covers a land mass in a cold region.
21. The water in the hose is spouting out.
22. The weight of the water in the jug creates pressure. This
pressure pushes the water out of the hose.
23. The water will stop flowing out of the hose when the water in
the jug reaches the same height as the top of the hose.
24. The water spouting out of the hose is similar to an artesian
well. The downward pressure of the water in the jug pushing the
water up the hose is similar to the water pressure from the water
table forcing water up through cracks in the rocks above. The
water coming out of an artesian well will also stop when the water
table falls below the top of the well. The water in the jug is unlike
an artesian well, because the water in the jug is an open pool, not
water saturating rock or sediment.
