flash flood:occur with little or no warning
globalaircurrents:Caused by the uneven heating of the Earth
coriolis force:causes winds to diverge
groundwatercharge:Water added to groundwater through percolation down through the soil to the GWT
transpiration:liquid water moving from soil through a plant and evaporating from the leaves
itcz:Inter Tropical Convergence Zone
drought:period of abnormally dry weather which persists long enough producing hydrologic imbalance
evapotranspiration:combination of evaporation and transpiration
evaporation:loss of liquid water from land and water surfaces as it is converted to a gas (water vapor)
climate:long-term average state of the atmosphere for a region.
coldfronts:occur where cold air masses collide with warm air
reservoirs:are man made lakes formed by damming rivers . Used to store and control water.
weather:is the local, short-term state of the atmosphere
precipitation:occurs when a local portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapor
dendrochronolgy:the study of tree rings
condensation:cooling of water vapor (gas) until it becomes a liquid
lakes:are large inland bodies of water formed naturally
groundwaterdischarge:Water lost from groundwater usually through springs, streams, and rivers
runoff:the flow of water, from rain, snow melt, or other sources, over land
groundwater:largest source of fresh water on earth
Cagayanvalley:Philippine region with most groundwater potential
Northernmindanao:Philippine region with most surface water potential
Groundwaterhydrology:study of the characteristics and occurrence of water found below the surface.
aquifer:geologic unit that transmits water.
river:large natural streams of water flowing in channels and emptying into larger bodies of water.
floodplain:land that gets flooded when river overflows
confluence:point where two rivers join
watershed:imaginary line that separates one drainage basin from the next
tributaries:where smaller rivers join the main river
mouth:the lowest point of the river and connects/flows to the lake, sea or ocean
Piezometricsurfaces:are used to map water levels, similar to topographic lines on maps.
morphology:study of the shapes of river channels and how they change over time.
swansneck:really tight meander
oxbowlake:formed when depositions from old channel seals its two ends to separate from the river.
pluvial:lakes formed ion deserts
cirques:lakes formed in mountains by glaciers
