  17. Depth x Width x Velocity

  18. What is the difference between an alluvial fan and a delta?

  19. Alluvial fans are river deposits on land, and deltas are river deposits found in water.

  25. Karst Topography

  26. The layer below the water table in which the pore space is completely filled with water is the zone of _____.

  27. Saturation

  28. A layer of in the ground in which water is stored or in which water can easily pass through is called a(n) ______.
