100
This is the step of the water cycle that happens after condensation.
What is precipitation?
100
This is the step of the water cycle that happens after evaporation.
What is condensation?
100
This is the layer of the atmosphere in which all weather occurs.
What is troposphere?
100
True or False: As altitude increases, temperature decreases throughout the entire atmosphere.
What is FALSE?
100
Water disappearing from a puddle is an example of this phenomenon.
What is evaporation?
200
This is the correct order of the water cycle, starting with evaporation.
What is evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, (evaporation)?
200
This describes how water from the Pacific Ocean could rain down in Sandusky.
What is evaporation and then precipitation?
200
This describes how the layers of the atmosphere are divided.
What is temperature?
200
This is the layer of the atmosphere containing the ozone layer.
What is stratosphere?
200
This type of energy transfer relies on the heating of a fluid.
What is convection?
300
The formation of clouds is an example of what phenomenon?
What is condensation?
300
This is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere AND its percentage.
What is nitrogen at 78%?
300
This describes how energy driving the water cycle gets into the atmosphere (from the starting place TO the Earth).
What is radiation?
300
This describes how Earth's surface transfers energy to the atmosphere.
What is conduction?
300
This is the process by which plants return water to the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
400
This describes all the water on Earth.
What is the hydrosphere?
400
These are two ways pollutants poured on the ground can enter the water cycle. (Hint: They are ALREADY on the ground.)
What is evaporation, runoff, transpiration?
400
This is the graph for the temperature changes in Earth's atmosphere (label all layers).
What is see picture?
400
As altitude increases, these two layers of the atmosphere have the temperature increase.
What is stratosphere and thermosphere?
400
This describes the movement of air in a convection current (you may draw if you wish).
What is hot air rises, cools off, sinks?
500
This is the second-most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, AND its percentage.
What is oxygen at 21%?
500
This is the source of all energy in the water cycle.
What is the Sun?
500
This is what happens to air pressure as altitude increases.
What is decreases?
500
These are the layers of the atmosphere, from closest to the Earth to outer space.
What is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere?
500
This describes why air pressure changes the way it does as altitude increases.
What is air above pushes down on air below, adding pressure as you go down?
