Water Cycle
When it rains, snows, or hails we call this
Precipitation
Celsius
Mass
This sphere includes all the animals and plants on Earth
Biosphere
When changing from a liquid to a gas, or a gas back to a liquid, what is this called?
Phase change
or
Change in state of matter
When water is heated and changed into a water vapor it is called
Evaporation
Using the metric system, what units measure mass?
kg or g
This DOES change based on location in the universe
Weight
This sphere includes the ocean, lakes, and groundwater.
Hydrosphere
This state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
Liquid
When water vapor particles come together to form liquid water droplets
Condensation
What unit in the metric system measures speed?
km/hr
Weight changes based on location in the universe because it depends on
Gravity
This sphere is made up of a mixture of gases above the surface.
Atmosphere
In this state, particles move the fastest and have the most energy.
Gas
The three main parts of the water cycle are
Precipitation, evaporation, condensation
What units in the metric system measure distance?
Centimeter (cm)
Meter (m)
Kilometer (km)
How does your mass on Earth change if you go to the Moon?
Mass does not change
The sphere that includes all landforms, soil layers, the core, the mantle, and the crust of the Earth.
Geosphere
In this state, particles are tightly packed and only vibrate in place.
Solid
This is what happens when precipitation starts in the mountains and then rolls down and reaches the rivers below
Run off
What unit in the metric system measures volume?
Liters
How does your weight change if you go to the Moon?
Your weight decreases because the Moon has less gravity.
The layer of all frozen water on Earth.
Cryosphere
When objects are solid, do the particles that make up the object ever stop moving completely?
No, they vibrate in place.
