It makes up the ocean floor, the continent, and landforms.
What is the Geosphere?
100
This sphere includes water on, over, and under Earth's surface.
What is they hydrosphere?
100
This process explains the movement of water around Earth.
What is the water cycle?
100
This blocks UV light from reaching Earth's surface.
What is the ozone?
100
Clouds are important because they do this.
What is predict weather?
200
Contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, the ozone, and many other gases.
What is the atmosphere?
200
Water covers this percentage of Earth.
What is 70%?
200
This kind of water travels down the side of mountains.
What is runoff water?
200
Meteors that enter Earth's atmosphere burn up in this layer.
What is the mesosphere?
200
These clouds are found above 18,000 meters.
What are cirrus clouds?
300
Inside of Earth, this part is made of plastic-like rock.
What is the mantle?
300
This type of water makes up only 3% of all water on Earth.
What is freshwater?
300
The process in which water in the soil will be taken up by plants.
What is absorption?
300
Weather takes place in this layer. It is also where clouds are found.

400
This crust is made mostly of Basalt.
What is Oceanic crust?
400
Humans get most of their drinking water from this kind of water.
What is groundwater?
400
Examples of this are rain, snow, and hail.
What is precipitation?
400
Objects in this layer are STILL influenced by Earth's gravity.
What is the exosphere?
400
This special cloud floats on the ground.
What is fog?
500
This crust converges of slides underneath because it is more dense.
What is oceanic crust?
500
Freshwater can be found in the atmosphere as these 3 things.
What are clouds, gas, and precipitation?
500
The end result in which runoff water is gathered in rivers that flow into lakes and oceans.
What is collection?
500
Aurorae occurs in this layer above the north and south poles.
What is the thermosphere?
