The change of state from liquid to gas is called - ANS ✔✔Evaporation
The combination of processes which results in the movement of water from the Earth's surface
into the atmosphere is known as - ANS ✔✔Evapotranspiration
What is the normal boiling point of water? - ANS ✔✔212 F (Fahrenheit)
Seawater Intrusion can occur under which of the following circumstances? - ANS

The physical change of a substance in the solid state into the liquid state is known as - ANS
✔✔Melting
What is the melting point of water? - ANS ✔✔0 C(Celsius)
Over 97% of all the water on Earth is - ANS ✔✔Saline
The flow of liquid water on the surface of the Earth is called - ANS ✔✔Runoff
What change in state is evident in the process of Freezing? - ANS ✔✔Liquid to solid
The movement of water "uphill" in the Hydrologic Cycle requires - ANS ✔✔Energy
The amount of water that can be withdrawn from an aquifer over an extended period of time
without causing a decline in the static water level is called the - ANS ✔✔Safe Yield
, Preventing surface contamination from entering a drinking water well is the purpose of the -
ANS ✔✔Sanitary seal
The horizontal extent of the impact of an operating well on water levels within an aquifer is
called the - ANS ✔✔Radius of influence
A soil layer that resists the percolation of water is called - ANS ✔✔An aquilude
