Hydrosphere
________ allows dyed water to move against gravity
Capillary action
Land warms up and cools down faster than water bodies because water requires more______ to change its temperature than land
energy/heat
Warmer atmosphere causes the oceans to warm, reducing their ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
true/false
Not able to be made again quickly by nature or people.
Nonrenewable
Energy that comes from wind
Wind energy
_______ bonds in fresh water are stronger than in salty water
hydrogen bonds
_______________ act as a global conveyor belt redistributing heat from equator to the poles which helps regulate temperature across different latitude.
ocean currents
Steady increase in CO2 concentrations, which correlates with the rising global temperatures and supports the conclusion that increased greenhouse gases are influencing climate change.
true/false
energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear
Act with another substance in a chemical change.
Reactions
The _________ cycle causes water trapped in small cracks to expand as it freezes exerting pressure the surrounding material and causing it to break apart
freeze-thaw
_______________ is the atmospheric gas responsible for most of the global warming
carbon dioxide
Steady increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, suggest a strong relationship between rising CO2 levels and global climate change. true/false
true
harmful substances in the air, water, or soil.
Pollutants
Fewer storms occur during El Niño because the ______ Pacific Ocean changes the atmosphere, making it harder for hurricanes to form in the Atlantic.
warmer
________ is the property of water is demonstrated by floating objects.
surface tension

why does temperature of land fluctuate more than that of water bodies
specific heat capacity of land is less than that of water
During _______ water absorbs energy from the sun, transferring heat from the earth's surface into the atmosphere
evaporation
Energy that comes from the sun
Solar Energy
The Coriolis effect causes winds and ocean currents to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, impacting global weather patterns. true/false
true
The ___________ air mass originates over warm ocean waters, bringing humid and warm weather to the regions it impacts.
