Long period of dry weather
drought
Gas molecules
Water vapor

sedimentation
Scientists who study the movement and properties of water on and below the earth’s surface.
hydrologists
The wearing away of rocks and soil
erosion
River of ice
glacier
Solid matter such as rocks or earth deposited by water, ice, or wind
sediments
Amount of movement
energy
High and level areas next to mountains with horizontal layers of rock
plateaus
Water found in places such as lakes and streams
Surface water
Natural features of the land’s surface
landforms
Water soaked in the earth’s surface that cannot be seen from space
Ground water
Flat land that has been leveled by erosion or the moving of earth materials
plains
High steeply sloped, and raised areas of rocks on the earth’s surface
mountains
Water droplets that have combined around a particle of dust which
becomes heavier than air, and falls to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, and hail
precipitation
Scientists who study landforms
geologist
The uppermost layer of land
soil
Water in its 3 states moves from one place on earth to another in a continuous cycle
Water cycle
This occurs when water vapor cools in the atmosphere and the molecules change from
gas to liquid
condensation
Changing of water from liquid to gas
evaporation
The course along which water moves
Stream channel
The beginning of a stream or river
Head
A long, low area carved by a stream or glacier with higher areas on both sides

body of water, such as a larger stream, lake, or ocean
