Volcanos
The substance that comes from below Earth's surface during an eruption.
What is magma
The place where earthquakes occur along.
What is a fault?
The process where the Earth's water is warmed by the sun's energy and is turned into a gas, or water vapor.
What is evaporation?
The type of precipitation that is formed when water vapor cools in the clouds. When the water cools it turns directly into ice crystals because it is the temperature is < 32 degrees.
What is snow?
This type of water is found underground.
What is groundwater?
The type of volcano with steep sides and has explosive eruptions.
What is a composite volcano?
A shaking on Earth's surface.
What is an earthquake?
The process where water or ice fall back to Earth's surface.
What is precipitation?
This type of precipitation is formed when water vapor cools into liquid water. It begins falling as rain but hits a cold patch of air and turns to ice pellets.
What is sleet?
A period of unusually dry weather.
What is a drought?
The type of volcano that has only one vent and shoots out ash, cinder and rock.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
The place on Earth's surface that is directly above the location where the earthquake began.
What is the epicenter?
The process where water vapor cools in the clouds and turns back into liquid or solid form.
What is condensation?
This type of precipitation is formed when water vapor cools as liquid water and falls back to Earth in this form.
What is rain?
The percentage of water on Earth's surface.
What is 75% or 3/4?
The type of volcano that is very wide and very large. The lava oozes out of the multiple vents.
What is a shield volcano?
Earth' s crust and the upper portion of the mantle is made up of these.
What are plates?
The driver of the water cycle.
What is the sun?
This type of precipitation forms when water vapor cools into liquid water and begins to fall to Earth. Earths temperature is < 32 degrees so the rain freezes to everything on contact.
What is freezing rain?
This type of water is not considered surface water.
What is well water?
A landform that forms at an opening inEarth's crust where magma reaches the surface as lava.
What is a volcano?
The place underground where the earthquake begins.
What is the focus?
Water in the form of a gas.
What is water vapor?
This type of precipitation is not related to Earth's surface temperature.
What is hail?
This type of water from a large body of water is unsafe for humans to drink.
What is ocean water or salt water?
