The system with a layer of air (gasses) surrounding the Earth.
What is the Atmosphere
Cycle that moves water between 3 main systems of Earth (hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere)
What is the WATER CYCLE
Thin outer layer of Earth, where most living things are found.
What is the CRUST
Liquid rock inside the Earth.
What is Magma
Natural process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces
What is weathering
The system that includes all water on Earth
What is the Hydrosphere
What is the ROCK CYCLE
What is the Mantle
When magma reaches the surface of the crust.
What is LAVA
Process of rock and soil being worn and moved away
What is Erosion
This is the system that contains all solid, rocky parts of Earth, and includes the Core, Mantle, and Crust
What is the Geosphere
What is the CARBON CYCLE
Solid layer of heavy, super hot iron in the center of the Earth
What is the Inner Core
What are shield volcanoes
Occurs when material taken from rock and soil is moved and left in a new spot
What is deoposition
What is the water cycle
This is the outer layer of the hot dense center of our planet and is the only layer made of liquid, molten rock
What is the Outer Core
Tall, steep volcanoes that explode violently
What are Composite volcanoes
Common agent of erosion from hydrosphere
What is WATER
A fish swimming in the ocean belongs to this/these systems.
What are the hydrosphere, biosphere.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the air, interacting with biosphere and atmosphere.
What is the Carbon Cycle
Huge pieces of earth's crust that move slowly on the mantle.
What are Plate Tectonics
A volcano collapses on itself in an eruption and leaves behind a huge depression that becomes a lake.
What is a CALDERA
What are water, wind, ice, gravity
