Laminar flow is the most common in the aquarium and simply means that the water is moving steadily and in only one direction. It is most often produced by powerheads. In the ocean, this type is found at deeper areas of the reef.
Surge is similar to laminar flow, only stronger, for a shorter duration, and followed by a weaker reverse flow.
You think of waves when talking about water movement in the ocean right? Waves are created by winds and this best illustrates surge. This back and forth type of aquarium water movement is very beneficial to corals in your tank.
Turbulence is the random swirling and flow of water in all directions. This happens when currents collide with each other. Of the three types, turbulence is the most desirable and the most difficult to replicate.

A plasma is a hot ionized gas consisting of approximately equal numbers of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. The characteristics of plasmas are significantly different from those of ordinary neutral gases so that plasmas are considered a distinct "fourth state of matter." For example, because plasmas are made up of electrically charged particles, they are strongly influenced by electric and magnetic fields (see figure) while neutral gases are not. An example of such influence is the trapping of energetic charged particles along geomagnetic field lines to form the Van Allen radiation belts.
In addition to externally imposed fields, such as the Earth's magnetic field or the interplanetary magnetic field, the plasma is acted upon by electric and magnetic fields created within the plasma itself through localized charge concentrations and electric currents that result from the differential motion of the ions and electrons. The forces exerted by these fields on the charged particles that make up the plasma act over long distances and impart to the particles' behavior a coherent, collective quality that neutral gases do not display. (Despite the existence of localized charge concentrations and electric potentials, a plasma is electrically "quasi-neutral," because, in aggregate, there are approximately equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles distributed so that their charges cancel.)

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
Frost forms on a window pane.
5 erosion and deposition agents?
The agents of erosion are wind, water, ice, and gravity.
What forms does water go through in the water cycle?
The forms of the water cycle for the atmosphere and underground, the underground water forms into an underground stream and water in the atmosphere turns into a rain. The cycle starts all over again!
Water moving along the ground's surface?
Water moving along the grounds surface is called a river or a flood.. A river or a flood both contain moving water. River water is consistently moving. A flood will have water moving until it goes away.
How does salt and water form using the particle theory?
The particles of salt and the particles of water are both moving very fast. The different particles attract to each other so therefore it forms a solution.
What are the four forms of moving water?
H
What are the water forms of Yemen?
The water is Moving
What is loop of moving air that forms in both air and water?
air masses
How does moving water form a valley?
Moving water forms a valley be eroding the soil underneath it. As the water moves across the soil it takes some with it, this can form a valley over millions of years.
What are the four major water forms?
ocean,river,lake,gulf
What landform is caused when a fast moving river meets a body of water?
It forms a delta by sedimentation of debris brought by the river stream.
Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
Frost forms on a window pane.
Why can moving water be used to produce electricity?
To make electricity we have to turn a coil of wire inside a magnet. Moving water is one way to push the coil.
How does moving water form waves in water?
As it slides over the water surface film, air makes it move. As the water moves, it forms eddies and small ripples. Then waves are formed from these ripples
What are four kinds of water particles that fall from the sky?
there are 4 different forms of water solid (ice) liquid (water) gas (water vapor) and crystal (snow)
What are four agents of erosion?
There are four main agents of erosion including wind. Other forms of erosion include water, ice, and variations in temperature.
What are four causes the weather?
Water-Precpitation, Run-off, Collection; Expanding Ice; Wind/Abrasion; Gravity are the four main forms of weathering.
