Earth´s Systems
he Earth system that contains all living thing is the Biosphere ( living things are found in air,water and soil).
Life on Earth.
What is the 3 parts of the water cycle?
In Order
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation
What is the Water Cycle
Continuous movement of water on, above and below Earthś Surface
Earth'Systems containing all living things
Biopshere
Ocean currents
wind blows over the ocean it creates surface current
- thin layer of soil covering a rocky center, Largest Earth System. This system moves more slowly than air or water.
Solid earth.
What is the effect of the gulf stream on climate of North Europe?
The gulf stream carries warm water to Northern Europe, which make the climate of the region warmer.
What is Evaporation
Liquid changes into a gas
Mixture of gases form
the atmosphere
What is the rock cycle in order?
Answer: Cooling & Crystallizing, Uplift, Weathering & Erosion, Deposition, Compaction & Cementation
water stored in cracks and pores
Ground water
Weathering breaks down rock and forms sediment, which turns into sedimentary rocks
How is weathering part of the rock cycle?
What is Condensation
Gas Changes into a liquid
System containing all water
Hydrosphere
Explain how ocean currents can affect climate?
Ocean currents transfer thermal energy form 1 region to another , making some regions warmer and cooler then they would be without the currents
Solid composed of minerals
Rock
The Rock Cycle
is the series of processes that transport and continually change rocks into different forms
What is precipitation
Moisture that falls from clouds
solid part of Earth
Geosphere
What is thermal energy?
Friction, Light FIre
Earthś Systems in Order
Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere and Atmosphere
when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure
Metamorphic rocks form
What is Transpiration
when plants release water
organic solids that have crystal Structures
Minerals
Give an example of how the rock cycle is affected by the biosphere.
Plant roots can break rocks apart.
