Groundwater is all the water that has penetrated the earth's surface and is found in one of two soil layers. The one nearest the surface is the "zone of aeration", where gaps between soil are filled with both air and water. Below this layer is the "zone of saturation", where the gaps are filled with water.

Glycolysis involves the breaking down of a sugar into more manageable compounds in order to produce energy.

The net end products of glycolysis are two Pyruvate, two NADH, and two ATP.

When water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C, its density decreases.

When water cools from 4°C to 0°C, ice crystals begin to form because the water is approaching its freezing point. When water freezes, the water molecules form a lattice that increases the volume. As a result, the density decreases. This is why ice will float on top of water; ice has a lower density than the water.

Anemometer is the instrument that is used for measuring the speed of wind or any gas currents.
