Day and Night
The thing that gives light and warmth to everything on earth.
The Sun
This is a giant ball of burning gas, like our Sun.
Star
The 3 main states of matter are solid, ______, and gas.
Liquid
Ferris Island is split by this landform, which blocks rain from reaching one side.
A Mountain
Water evaporating from lakes and oceans enters this layer of Earth.
Atmosphere
The Earth does this once every 24 hours, causing day and night.
Rotate / Rotates / Rotation
This invisible force keeps Earth in orbit around the Sun.
A salad is an example of this, where you mix things together, but you can still see all the parts.
Mixture
This process occurs when water turns into water vapor.
Evaporation
This system includes all living things on Earth.
Biosphere
We don’t see stars during the day because...
The sun's light is too bright; it downs the stars out.
A group of stars that form a pattern is called this.
Constellation
When one substance mixes evenly into another, it has done what?
Dissolved
This process happens when water vapor turns into liquid clouds.
Condensation
Water that soaks into the ground becomes part of this sphere.
Geosphere
The Earth rotates on this (hint: it's invisible)
Axis
Why does the Sun appear to move across the sky each day?
Earth's rotation around itself
A type of mixture where everything is dissolved into each other.
Solution
What is the term for what caused the water shortage in East Ferris Island.
The Rian Shadow Effect
Which 2 systems are interacting?
A meteor from space smacks into the Earth, forming a huge crater.
Atmosphere and Geosphere
If Earth stopped rotating, what would happen to day and night?
There would be no day and night cycle — one side would stay light, the other dark.
This is the reason we see different constellations in different seasons.
Earth's Orbit around the Sun
Because salt dissolves in water, salt is considered ______ in water.
Soluble
Explain how the mountain caused only one side of the island to get rain.
Water vapor rises up the West side of the mountain, but before it can get over the mountain to East Ferris Island, the water vapor cools, condenses, and rains on only West Ferris.
Which 2 systems are interacting?
A volcano erupts, and its lava causes a fire in the nearby forest, wiping out half of the trees.
Geosphere and Biosphere
