Environmental Science/StudiesPhysical EnvironmentASAQA Created by: 8AED0504Created on: 21-05-18 15:07 a process that requires oxygen Aerobic 1 of 29 a process that doesn't require oxygen Anaerobic 2 of 29 property of water, it expands instead of contracting when temperature goes from 4 degrees Centigrade to 0 degrees Centigrade and becomes less dense Anomalous Expansion 3 of 29 rocks that store water underground e.g. limestone, sandstone, chalk, gravel Aquifer 4 of 29 an area of land where water is collected from Catchment Area 5 of 29 test of water contamination in which the number of the colonies of coliform- bacteria (E-coli) is counted Coliform Count 6 of 29 the change of water from liquid to gas by heat Evaporation 7 of 29 the water found in the pore spaces ad fissures in rocks Groundwater 8 of 29 movement of water through the pore spaces in rock Groundwater Flow 9 of 29 the weak electrostatic bond formed between water molecules which gives water a high boiling point Hydrogen Bond 10 of 29 the process by which surface water enters the ground between the particles of soil or rock Infiltration 11 of 29 precipitation that doesn't reach the ground because it lands on vegetation Interception 12 of 29 artificial watering of plants, especially crops, biggest single agricultural use of water Irrigation 13 of 29 the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration Reverse Osmosis 14 of 29 an organism that causes disease, killed in water treatment by chlorine, ozone and ultraviolet radiation in steralization process Pathogen 15 of 29 the movement of water between the particles of soil or rock Percolation 16 of 29 a measure of the rate at which a fluid, such as water, can flow through rock Permeability 17 of 29 a measure of the percentage of the volume of a rock that is space Porosity 18 of 29 safe to drink; drinkable Potable 19 of 29 condensation of atmospheric water vapour that reaches the Earth's surface in any solid or liquid form Precipitation 20 of 29 general name for a storage location for any material, term is also used for the stored water retained by a dam Reservoir 21 of 29 the average length of time that a molecule remains in a reservoir Residence Time 22 of 29 the volume of water flowing past a particular point on a river and is a product of cross sectional area and mean water velocity River Channel Discharge 23 of 29 the collapse of a ground surface caused by a reduction in aquifer rock volume following over- abstraction of water Subsidence 24 of 29 the sideways movement of water in the ground Through- flow 25 of 29 the 3D shape of the landscape, useful when considering reservoir location Topography 26 of 29 the volume of material moved from one reservoir to another Transfer Rate 27 of 29 the process which plants lose water vapour, mainly from the stomata of their leaves Transpiration 28 of 29 the total amount of organic + inorganic material suspended in a volume of water TSS 29 of 29
