Who Knows
T/F
Water is not subject to pressure freezing because the molecules in it are closer together when they are liquid.
What is True?
This is the path through the rock cycle that begins with magma and ends with a sedimentary rock.
What is...
Magma cools to form igneous rock.
Igneous rock is weathered to form sediment.
Sediment is deposited and compacted to form sedimentary rock.
These are the two ways rain can travel as liquid into a lake, river, stream, or ocean after it hits the land.
What are surface runoff and groundwater flow?
These are three features caused by glaciers.
What are cirques, horns, U-shaped valleys, ridges, glacial lakes, kettle lakes?
The sum of all water on a planet is called this.
What is hydrologic cycle?
The crust, mantle, and core.
What are the three main layers of earth?
Water taken from somewhere in Earth's hydrosphere would most likely be this.
What is saltwater?
This is a similarity between mechanical and chemical weathering.
What is both break rocks?
This is the process of wind erosion where wind removes sand and dust from the ground and leaves a hard surface of larger rocks behind.
What is deflation in dry regions?
Evaporation of water from a plant's sediment.
What is transpiration?
A naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a regular crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.
What is a mineral?
If a sample of water from Earth's hydrosphere was freshwater, this is the place from where it most likely came.
What is an iceberg or glacier?
DAILY DOUBLE & Strand Deviation! :)
This is the verb that means "Feel, Perceive, or Think" in Latin.
What is sentio, sentire, sensi, sensus?
These are small, solid fragments of rock-like gravel, sand, silt, mud, or clay.
What is sediment?
Water falling from the atmosphere as rain, snow, sleet or hail is called this.
What is precipitation?
Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic.
What are the three groups of rocks?
If a sample of freshwater taken from Earth's hydrosphere came from a liquid source, it most likely came from here.
What is groundwater?
When a stream erodes the land, these are the features likely to form in steep mountainous areas.
What are V-shaped valleys and waterfalls?
DAILY DOUBLE - Strand Connection! :)
This is the servant's name who disguises himself as Lucentio.
Who is Tranio?
This is evaporation and condensation of a mixture to separate out the mixture's individual components.
What is distillation?
These are the tests one would do to decide if two sample minerals with the same color and luster ARE in fact the same.
What is a streak test and a scratch test? (Another acceptable answer: measure the mass and volume to determine the density.)
These are the two processes of the hydrologic cycle that cause water to be transferred from a plant into a cloud.
What are transpiration and condensation?
When a stream erodes the land, these are the features most likely to form in level areas.
What are U-shaped valleys, ridges, glacial lakes, and kettle lakes.
A series of processes in which forces within the Earth and at the surface cause rocks to continuously change from one type to another.
What is the rock cycle?
This is the process that moves sediments.
What is erosion?
