Water Cycle
When the sun heats up liquid water and it turns into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
This type of rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What are igneous rocks?
This planet is known for its large rings
What is Saturn?
Snow, sleet, hail, and rain are examples of this.
What is precipitation?
The leading cause of global warming.
What is burning fossil fuels.
When water vapor cools down and changes back into liquid water droplets.
What is condensation?
These rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to extreme heat and pressure.
What are metamorphic rocks?
This is the number of planets in the solar system.
Molten rock below the Earth's surface.
What is magma?
Water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide are examples of this.
What are greenhouse gasses?
These are formed when billions of tiny water droplets gather together during condensation.
What are clouds?
This rock type can turn into metamorphic rock when it is subjected to heat and pressure.
What are sedimentary rocks?
This planet is known as Earth's twin.
What is Venus?
The process of breaking down dead organic matter.
Decomposition
The natural process where atmospheric gases trap heat radiating from Earth toward space.
What is the greenhouse effect?
Water that is stored in the cracks and spaces between soil, sand, and rocks underground.
What is groundwater?
The process that transforms a metamorphic rock back into magma.
What is magma?
The vast, donut-shaped region between Mars and Jupiter.
What is the asteroid belt?
The process by which plants use sunlight to create food.
What is photosynthesis?
The most abundant greenhouse gas that is produced by burning fossil fuels.
The phase where water flows over the land surface into rivers and oceans.
What is runoff?
This glassy, black igneous rock forms when lava cools almost instantly.
What is obsidian?
This year, Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet.
What is 2006?
The release of water vapor into the air from plant leaves.
