States of Matter
How many states of matter are there?
3
Condensation is ____________________.
When water vapor turns into liquid water in a cool temperature.
What is a model?
Something scientists make to investigate questions about something hard to observe in the real world.
What are the different forms of precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet, hail
Hydrosphere
All the water in earths system
When ice is frozen, it becomes a _____
solid
Give an example of condensation
Liquid on the outside of a cold glass, clouds in the atmosphere, dew on the ground in the morning, etc.
In the Earth System simulation, at what height in the atmosphere does water begin to condense?
4-5 km
If I have a cold glass of water in a warm environment, what will be produced as a result?
Condensation
Geosphere
the land/rock in earth's system
When ice melts, it becomes a _________ again!
Liquid
Precipitation is _________________
water that falls to the ground
What factors in the Earth System simulation affect where it rains on the mountain.
Wind, temperature in the atmosphere, and landscape
If I wanted to make water into a solid, what would I need?
A cooling source
Biosphere
The living parts of earth's system
A boiling pot of water creates this type of matter.
Gas
Evaporation is ___________________.
the process of turning liquid into water vapor.
Does condensation on the outside of a glass come from the ice inside? How do you know?
No, because the cold glass with no ice it it still had condensation.
Where does the runoff go?
Oceans, rivers, streams, etc.
Name of the gasses in earth's system
atmosphere
Explain how water vapor is a gas.
Water cycle is _________________
The process in which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere and land involving precipitation and drains into oceans, rivers, etc.
Did water condense on the empty frozen glass? Why
It condensed because the glass was very cold
What grade will you make on the water cycle test?
An A
Name one way that the different parts of earth's system interact with each other.
The hydrosphere interacts with the biosphere when plants use water to grow
