APES Chapter 9 Questions & Answers
correct
Dams and Salmon on the Klamath River - answer hydroelectric dams, in conjunction
with the drainage of two large lakes at the river's source for agriculture, impeded the
flow of water and prevented the natural migration of salmon to their breeding grounds;
conflict over water use between farmers, fisherman, Native Americans, industry, etc. led
to overuse and exploitation of this resource and massive fish kills (increased
temperatures, disease, toxic algae); the dams are scheduled to be removed in 2020

distribution of water on Earth - answer 97% saltwater, 3% freshwater (1/4
underground, almost 3/4 frozen, remaining <1% accessible for human consumption)

aquifer - answer small spaces found within permeable layers of rock and sediment
where groundwater is located

unconfined aquifer - answer porous rock covered by soil which water can easily flow
in and out of; rapidly recharged by percolation of precipitation

confined aquifer - answer aquifer surrounded by a layer of impermeable rock or clay
that impedes water flow and causes water pressure to build up underground

water table - answer uppermost level at which the water in a given area fully
saturates the rock or soil

groundwater recharge - answer the input proces by which water from precipitation
percolates through the soil into an aquifer

recharge area - answer opening at the surface of the otherwise impermeable layer
covering a confined aquifer

spring - answer source where water naturally percolates up to the ground surface;
crucial to the organisms in freshwater aquatic biomes and can be used by humans for
consumption

artesian well - answer formed when a well is drilled into a confined aquifer and the
natural pressure released causes water to rise toward the ground surface (often without
any need for pumps)

Ogallala aquifer - answer largest aquifer in the United States, covering the Great
Plains; its rate of recharge is not keeping pace with the rate of water withdrawal =
unsustainable
