phases of water -  water can exist as a liquid, ice, or vapor, reservoir - any place water is stored, including the ocean, lakes, rivers, under the ground, and in clouds, water table - the upper boundary of a groundwater reservoir, runoff - the movement of water over Earth's surface, typically as a result of precipitation, and eventually flowing into streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans, transpiration - the process by which water vapor is released from plants into the atmosphere through tiny pores in their leaves called stomata, watershed - an area of land where all of the water that drains off it or falls on it flows into the same place, such as a river, lake, or ocean, base flow - a portion of the stream flow that is not runoff; it is water from the ground, flowing into the channel over a long time and with a certain dela, hydrogeologist - a scientist who studies the distribution, movement, and quality of groundwater, as well as its interaction with surface water and the rock formations it flows through, deep currents - ocean currents that flow below the surface of the ocean and are driven by differences in water density, temperature, and salinity, ocean conveyor belt - global circulation of ocean water, driven by the interplay of thermohaline circulation, upwelling, and the rotation of Earth, gyre - a large system of rotating ocean currents that form circular patterns, salinity - the measure of the concentration of dissolved salts in water, surface current - horizontal movement of ocean water near the surface caused by wind, Earth's rotation, and differences in water density and temperature, thermohaline - the process by which deep ocean currents are created through changes in temperature and salinity, ocean zone - different regions in the ocean with unique physical and biological characteristics, such as depth, temperature, and light levels, influencing the types of marine life found there, abyssal plain - a vast, flat area on the ocean floor typically found at depths of 3,000 to 6,000 meters, covered by fine sediment and formed by the accumulation of eroded material, bathymetry - the measurement and mapping of ocean depths, typically using sonar and other techniques to create detailed charts of the ocean floor, continental slope - the steeply sloping edge of the continental shelf leading to the ocean floor, marking the boundary between continental and oceanic crust, seamont - an underwater mountain rising from the ocean floor, often with a pointed summit, formed by volcanic activity or as a result of tectonic processes, sonar - a technology that uses sound waves to measure the depth of the ocean floor and detect underwater objects, providing valuable information for mapping and navigation,
