The Water Cycle
This process of the water cycle is when liquid water moves into the atmosphere without boiling.
Evaporation
This is rock that is soft, has layers, and contains fossils.
Sedimentary rock.
When a river flows and carries pieces of rock with it or Wind and glaciers carry rocks and sediments to different places.
Erosion
This is a all elevated part of earth's crust created by either tectonic or volcanic activity
Mountain
This process of the water cycle is when water falls from the atmosphere to Earth's surface.
Precipitation.
This is rock that does not have layers and has large interlocking crystals.
Igneous rock
Rock gets carried away and added/deposited to a new place.
Deposition.
This is a type of landform found between two hills or mountains
valley
Most of the freshwater on earth can be found in what state/phase?
Solid
Magma cools and turns into:
Igneous rock.
Weathering.
A narrow deep valley that is created by erosion from running water.
Canyon.
This process of the water cycle is when water vapor in the air changes into liquid water.
Condensation
Sediment gets compact and cemented and turns into:
Sedimentary rock
Over time, layers and layers of sediments get deposited by water or wind.
Burial.
A canyon is located in a humid area with a lot of rainfall. A very similar-size canyon is located in a dry, desert area.
Which canyon do you think formed more quickly?
The area with rainfall.
This process of the Water Cycle is when water vapor is released from plants and soil.
Transpiration.
This rock has layers and is formed by compression. It is made up of crystals.
Metamorphic.
Sedimentary rock is found on top of a mountain. Which of the following processes did not occur?
deposition, eruption, or burial.
Eruption
Name one possible way that a canyon could form. (Think about the stream table)
A river carves open an area over time, a lake (or other reservoir) consistently overflows, a glacier moves through an area, tectonic plates pull apart the land.
