Water Cycle
Liquid turning into gas.
What is evaporation?
Caused by differences in temperature and salinity.
What is deep ocean currents?
Refers to daily atmospheric conditions.
What is weather?
What is deforestation?
Climate change is mainly caused by the increase of this gas formed from human activities.
What is greenhouse gases?
Forms when warm air rises, cools, and then condenses.
What is clouds?
Located at the top layer of the ocean driven by the wind.
What is surface ocean currents?
Refers to long term weather patterns.
What is climate?
Wind energy and solar energy
What is a renewable resource?
Greenhouse gases trap this in the atmosphere, increasing Earth's temperature.
What is heat?
Water moves over land into rivers after rainfall.
What is runoff?
Ocean currents help distribute this around the planet.
What is heat?
A line of latitude that is warmer because it receives more direct sunlight.
What is the Equator?
Catching too many fish
What is overfishing?
Burning fossil fuels increases the level of this specific type of gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
Water soaking into the ground.
What is infiltration/percolation?
Causes ocean currents to curve.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
Caused by Earth's tilted axis.
What is seasons?
When the home of an organism is damaged and no longer livable
What is habitat destruction?
Contributes to rising sea levels.
What is melting glaciers?
Released into the atmosphere through both transpiration and evaporation.
Makes nearby coastal regions warmer and more humid.
What is warm ocean currents?
Caused by differences in air pressure - high to low.
What is wind?
Known to injure, harm or kill marine organisms
What is plastic pollution?
Higher temperatures due to global warming increase this process in the water cycle.
What is evaporation?
