  1. The term for the upper level of groundwater in an area. It rises and falls
    Water table
  2. 1st step in cleaning dirty water. It's when chemicals are added that cause dirt particles to stick together
    Coagulation
  3. The clumps that form when tiny particles stick together in water treatment
    Floc
  4. A process in water treatment where clumps of dirt are formed and mixed to stick to each other
    Flocculation
  5. This refers to a group of natural or man-made parts that work together to move, store, and clean water
    Water System
  6. The process of water soaking into the ground
    Infiltration
  7. Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are examples of this
    Precipitation
  8. When an action causes a result that goes and makes the action even stronger than before
    Feedback loop
  9. What we call a long-term shift in the Earth's temperatures and climate
    Climate Change
  10. This does not decompose well in nature, like plastic
    Inorganic Waste
  11. These are huge areas of ice that covers land at Earth's poles
    Polar Ice cap
  12. This word refers to the average weather conditions over a period of at least 30 years.
    Climate
  13. Wind is the simpler term for this
    Convection currents
  14. This word refers to environmental conditions that change from day to day
    Weather
  15. This word means the process of removing particles from water by allowing them to settle at the bottom of a tank
    Sedimentation
  16. The process of a gas turning into a liquid because of the loss of thermal energy
    Condensation
  17. When a gas immediately turns into a solid
    Deposition
  18. The ocean is called this because it absorbs a lot of heat
    Heat sink
  19. Carbon dioxide is an example of this
    Greenhouse Gas
  20. This is a place where water collects and drains into a common body of water
    Watershed
  21. This decomposes naturally, like food waste and paper
    Organic Waste
  22. Watering crops using pipes/sprinklers.
    Irrigation
  23. The general term for water in the ground
    Groundwater
  24. When glaciers melt, what happens to sea levels?
    Sea Levels rise
  25. Water that evaporates from any part of plants/vegetation
    Transpiration
  26. This term refers to the amount of heat needed to make something warmer
    Heat capacity
  27. Material used in a filter to help clean water
    Filter Media
  28. One of the last steps in the water treatment process. Involves adding chemicals to remove bacteria
    Disinfection
  29. A human activity that can play a role in ice melting
    Deforestation
  30. This process of the water cycle causes vapour
    Evaporation
  31. Water that has little to no salt in it
    Freshwater
  32. When a solid immediately turns into a gas
    Sublimation
  33. These places usually have moderate climates because of their proximity to oceans
    Coastal communities
  34. Water that flows over the land’s surface instead of being absorbed into the ground
    Runoff
