Aquifer Science

Fertilizer can seep through the ground to reach groundwater, what effect can it have?

• Fertilizer can cause groundwater to reverse flow

• Fertilizer can cause groundwater to freeze

• Fertilizer can cause groundwater to become undrinkable

• It will seep into the school

The ability of a liquid to flow through a substance is:

• Porosity

• Permeability

unconfined aquifer

• a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another such stream.

• an aquifers into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the aquifer.

• aquifers with which an impermeable dirt/rock layer exists that prevents water from seeping into the aquifer from the ground surface located directly above.

• a large body of water surrounded by land.

The amount of "pore space" between soil is:

• Porosity

• Permeability

A body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater.

• aquifer

• channel

• divide

• tributary

NGSS.MS-ESS3-1

A measure of how easily water can flow through an aquifer.

• flow

• gradient

• permeability

• recharge

Amount of space between particles of a material. (Used to measure storage space in an aquifer.)

• flow

• discharge

• porosity

• recharge

The water that is beneath Earth's surface and is either stored or flows

• groundwater

• surface water

• watershed

• water table

The upper surface of underground water; the upper boundary of the zone of saturation.

• groundwater

• surface water

• watershed

• water table

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Process by which water from precipitation and runoff is added to the zone of saturation and becomes groundwater.

• flow

• gradient

• permeability

• recharge
