This is the process by which gravity, wind, water and ice moves bits of weathered rock.
What is erosion?
100
Which of these is not a method of separating a mixture? Filtration, liquid, magnetism, evaporation.
What is liquid? Liquid is one of the three states of matter.

Damiana is curious about today's air pressure so she takes out this tool to measure it.
What is a barometer?
100
This percentage of the Earth is comprised of water.
What is 75%?
100
This motion of the Earth is responsible for the rising and setting of the sun.
What is rotation?
200
This specific type of weathering results in a change of materials once rocks are broken down.
What is chemical weathering?
200
Not chemically combined, this is a combination of substances CAN be separated.
What is a mixture?
200
This is the average weather in a place over a period of time.
What is climate?
200
This is the movement of water from Earth's surface to its atmosphere and back again.
What is the water cycle?
200
The Earth spins on this.
What is an axis?
300
These types of landforms are deep grooves caused by erosion by moving water over a very long time. One of the world's largest one of the these can be found right here in the United States (in northern Arizona, to be exact) and was carved out by the Colorado river.
What is a canyon.
300
Sometimes raising the temperature of a solvent before adding the solute will allow for the solute to do this more quickly.
What is dissolve?
300
This kind of storm begins over warm water when warm air spiral inward toward areas of low pressure and causes spinning winds. The middle of this kind of storm has no clouds or rain and the weather inside it is usually very calm.
What is a hurricane?
300
This is the change of water vapor back to liquid water.
What is condensation?
300
This force keeps the Earth, Sun, Moon (and even us) spinning in orbit instead of flying all around in the solar system.
What is gravity?
400
Name two rapid processes by which the surface of the Earth can change.
What are earthquakes, volcanoes, or landslides.
400
A mixture of salt and water is a special kind of solution called this, where one substance dissolves into another.
What is a solution?
400
This is the name of a wind that blows from water onto the land?
What is a sea breeze?
400
Snow, hail, sleet, and rain are all examples of this.
What is precipitation?
400
The Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle, it is actually one of these, not to be mistaken for what happens when the suns light get's blocked by celestial bodies.
What is an ellipse?
500
Forces that carry away bits of weather rock during erosion drop them off somewhere else. This is the process of laying down of pieces of rock.
What is deposition?
500
This method of separating mixtures involves changing a liquid into a gas to leave the mixed in solid behind.
What is evaporation?
500
This tool is used to measure the speed of the wind. Not its direction.
What is an anemometer?
500
This is what happens after precipitation becomes groundwater.
What is run-off or collection?
500
When the Earth blocks the sun's light and casts it's shadow onto the moon, one of these occurs.
