Earth's 4 Systems
Cycles
Plate Tectonics & Layers
Volcanoes
Weathering & Erosion
100

The system with a layer of air (gasses) surrounding the Earth. 

What is the Atmosphere

100

Cycle that moves water between 3 main systems  of Earth (hydrosphere,  atmosphere, geosphere)

What is the WATER CYCLE

100

Thin outer layer of Earth, where most living things are found. 

What is the CRUST

100

Liquid rock inside the Earth.

What is Magma

100

Natural process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces

What is weathering

200

The system that includes all water on Earth

What is the Hydrosphere

200
In this cycle, Rocks change form- igneous to sedimentary, to metamorphic. 

What is the ROCK CYCLE

200
This is the thick layer of hot, slow-moving rock found in-between two other layers

What is the Mantle

200

When magma reaches the surface of the crust. 

What is LAVA

200

Process of rock and soil being worn and moved away

What is Erosion

300

This is the system that contains all solid, rocky parts of Earth, and includes the Core, Mantle, and Crust

What is the Geosphere

300
Animals breath out carbon dioxide and plants take it in. This cycle moves carbon between all 4 systems of the earth. 

What is the CARBON CYCLE

300

Solid layer of heavy, super hot iron in the center of the Earth 

What is the Inner Core

300
Volcanoes that are wide, flat and have runny lava

What are shield volcanoes

300

Occurs when material taken from rock and soil is moved and left in a new spot

What is deoposition

400
System of Earth, including all living things and where they live.  
What is the Biosphere
400
When water evaporates form the ocean and later falls as rain, this cycle is working to  move water between the systems. 

What is the water cycle

400

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

400

Tall, steep volcanoes that explode violently

What are  Composite volcanoes

400

Common agent of erosion from hydrosphere

What is WATER

500

A fish swimming in the ocean belongs to this/these systems. 

What are the hydrosphere, biosphere.

500

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the air, interacting with biosphere and atmosphere. 

What is the Carbon Cycle

500

Huge pieces of earth's crust that move slowly on the mantle.

What are Plate Tectonics

500

A volcano collapses on itself in an eruption and leaves behind a huge depression that becomes a lake. 

What is a CALDERA

500
These are 3 main agents of erosion. 

What are water, wind, ice, gravity
