Spheres
This sphere contains all of the Earth's Water.
What is Hydrosphere?
Solid water turning to liquid water is known as this.
What is melting?
Almost all of Earth’s water is this type of water, found in the ocean.
What is salt water?
When the wind blows toward a mountain, the mountain can direct the wind upward, causing this to move higher in the atmosphere.
What is Water Vapor?
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation and Runoff are the four stages of this cycle?
What is the water cycle?
This sphere contains all of the Earth's Air.
What is the Atmosphere?
Liquid water turning to solid water is known as this.
What is freezing?
The limited amount of this type of water is mostly in glaciers and groundwater.
What is fresh water?
Water vapor condenses as it moves higher, to where the atmosphere is this (warmer or colder).
What is colder?
Rain, Hail, Sleet and Snow are the four types of this.
What is precipitation?
This sphere contains the Earth's land, solid molten rock and sediments.
What is the Geosphere?
Liquid water turning to gas is known as this.
What is evaporation?
The amount of available freshwater (decreases OR increases) when people use more than the amount that flows into their area.
What is decreases?
When too much water vapor enters the atmosphere, this is created.
What is rain?
Most freshwater is found in these four parts of the hydrosphere.
What are glaciers, underground, streams, lakes, and wetlands?
This sphere contains all of the Earth's Life.
What is the Biosphere?
Gas turning to liquid water is known as this.
What is condensation?
These can form when enough water vapor gets cold and condenses into liquid water.
What are raindrops?
Wind is moving air in this Sphere of the Earth.
What is the Atmosphere?
When water changes states, it changes form one form to another. Its does not create or destroy this.
What is matter?
This is affected when wind and water interact with landforms.
What is weather?
What is precipitation?
Water molecules are far apart in this state of matter.
What is gas (Water Vapor)?
The water vapor in the air evaporates from this sphere and enters the atmostphere.
What is the Hydrosphere?
Land, solid molten rock and sediments are parts of this sphere.
What is the geosphere?
