What does percolation mean in the water cycle?
the downward movement of water through spaces in soil due to gravity
How does an earthworm obtain its oxygen?
Since they don't have a nose or lungs, they take in oxygen through their skin.
Why do soil absorb more water than sand?
Soil is much softer, has a rigid surface, and is made up of much smaller pieces than sand is, this lets the water get caught in the tiny spaces in the soil much easier due to surface tension. Sand on the other hand is hard, each grain has a slick surface, and is larger than soil, this makes it hard for water to get caught in the spaces because the spaces are too large.
What is a dolly cart used for?
Dolly carts are used to move heavy items such as large boxes and appliances. Moving companies use them since they save time, are lightweight, and maneuver easily through small spaces.
What Hollow spaces in the heart where the blood flows?
The top space or atrium receives the blood from the veins.The bottom spaces, the ventricles,pump blood out of the heart into the arteries.
What is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces?
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
Why does sidewalks have spaces in it?
it expends and etract and then the sidewalk formes cracks, concrete has cracks so when it is hot it can expand.Actually the 'spaces' aren't really spaces, they just look like it. They are there so that when the concrete cracks (and it will, due to Why_are_sidewalks_built_with_spaces_between_each_sectionfluctuations, ground imperfections, and traffic), the cracks will largely be restricted to the 'spaces'. This is so that the cracks are mostly unseen and so that people are less likely to trip on the cracks.

What is the downward movement of water through spaces in soil due to gravity?
Percolation.
The upward movement of water through tiny spaces in soil or rock is called?
Permeability
What is the relationship between surface water groundwater and a watershed?
i think that when the water reaches the surface, it dissolves into the ground which is called infiltration (the movement of water through soil) which then flows down from the tiny spaces in the bedrock and then it forms into a ground water, which is then released into and ocean or a lake.
The movement of a gas into moist intercellular spaces through stomates is an adaptation for respiration in?
Plants.
Energy produced by the movement of waves through empty spaces?
The type of energy= radiant energy
Groundwater and surface water?

What are the 'tion' words of the water cycle?
Precipitation - the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist) Infiltration - the movement of surface water into rock or soil through cracks and pore spaces. Transpiration - the emission of water vapor from the leaves of plants Condensation - the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state Evaporation - the process of becoming a vapor (opposite of condensation
How does water entering spaces in limestone cause physical weathering?
Mainly through expansion of cracks and fissures from frost expansion which leads to further and deeper cracks and fissures. Plant roots seeking moisture may extend roots into limestone cracks and fissures, prying the rock apart.
