These are made up of small particles that have been cemented together over time
What is sedimentary rock
100
The process that breaks down rocks and other substances
What is weathering
100
The layer of gases that surround Earth
What is the atmosphere
100
The study of weather
What is meterology
100
These are caused by temperature and pressure differences in the air
What are winds
200
Made up of cooled and hardened larva
What is igneous rock
200
The process by which weathered rocks and substances are moved from one place to antoher
What is erosion
200
The layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs
What is the troposphere
200
The factors meteorologists use to predict weather
What is temperature, air pressure, humidity, and wind speed and direction
200
These start of the ocean and move toward land
What are sea breezes
300
These are created when another type of rock is exposed to high heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock
300
Weathering caused by water, oxygen and/or acid rain
What is chemical weathering
300
The three ways Earth is heated
What is radiation, conduction and convection
300
What is a measure of the amount of heat in the air
What is temperature
300
These are about 10 km above Earth and are made of winds moving very quickly that can cause changes in weather
What are jet streams
400
Sandstone, limestone and shale are examples of these
What are sedimentary rocks
400
This happens when agents of erosion deposit or set down that sediments they were carrying
What is deposition
400
When heat travels from molecule to molecule, it happens when heat travels through the mantle to the crust and when the surface of Earth touches the atmosphere closest to it.
What is conduction
400
The amount of water vapor in the air. It is measured with a hygrometer
What is humidity
400
This is used to measure wind direction
What is a weather vane or compass
500
Slate and marble are examples of these
What are metamorphic rock
500
Processes like melting and cooling, weathering and cementation, and exposure to heat and pressure one type of rock may become another
What is the rock cycle
500
This happens in liquids and gasses when heat is transferred by movement
What is convection
500
How heavy the air is. This is measured with a barometer
