Water Cycle
These are the three steps of the water cycle.
What are evaporation, condensation, and precipitation?
These bodies of water can contain both saltwater and freshwater.
What are lakes and ponds?
These are the five layers of the atmosphere in order.
What are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere?
This weather tool measures temperature.
What is a thermometer?
These are the three rocks in the rock cycle.
What are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks?
This is also known as plant sweat.
What is transpiration?
This kind of freshwater storage occurs underground.
What is groundwater?
This layer of the atmosphere is where all weather occurs.
What is the troposphere?
This weather tool takes other weather tools into the stratosphere.
What is a weather balloon?
These are the four layers of the Earth from the surface to the center.
What are the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core?
When the Earth can't absorb all the precipitation, this occurs.
What is runoff?
These types of freshwater storage must be treated before being used.
What are surface water, groundwater, and recycled water?
This layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer.
What is the stratosphere?
This weather tool tells you how humid it is.
What is a hygrometer?
This type of rock requires both heat and pressure to form.
What are metamorphic rocks?
When you set down a glass of ice water, droplets of water start forming on the outside, which is another example of this step of the water cycle.
What is condensation?
Rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, and mountain springs are a few examples of this kind of freshwater storage.
What is surface water?
This layer of the atmosphere contains the hottest temperatures in the atmosphere.
What is the thermosphere?
This weather tool takes pictures of large storms.
What is a weather satellite?
This type of molten rock is found under the Earth's surface.
What is magma?
These are the four types of precipitation.
What are rain, snow, sleet, and hail?
These are the three aspects of water availability.
What are access, having enough, and having drinkable water?
This layer of the atmosphere is found between 31 and 50 miles above the surface of the Earth.
What is the mesosphere?
This is the only weather tool specifically used to predict something in the future.
What is a weather radar?
This is the scientist who first proposed the theory of tectonic plates.
Who is Alfred Wegener?
