Water Cycle
When water falls from the sky
What is Precipitation?
Water that is underground
What is groundwater?
The Water Cycle has a beginning, middle and end
False, the water cycle is a continuous cycle without a beginning, middle and end.
The layer that is closest to Earth
What is the Troposphere?
What is The Water Cycle?
When water in liquid form is heated and changed to a vapor
What is Evaporation?
Water flowing above ground
What is surface runoff?
The Exosphere is the coldest layer of the atmosphere
False, it is the Mesosphere.
These can be found flying within the Stratosphere
What are airplanes?
We are protected by sunburns by this part of the Stratosphere?
What is the Ozone Layer
When water vapor is changed to a liquid through cooling
What is Condensation?
When precipitation falls to the ground in gets absorbed into the soil
What is Infiltration?
Rain comes from the Troposphere
True, most weather is contained in the Troposphere.
The hottest layer in the atmosphere
What is the Thermosphere?
This is a Greenhouse Gas in our atmosphere
What is Carbon Dioxide?
This fuels the water cycle
What is the sun?
When water is evaporated from plant leaves
What is Transpiration?
It is colder as you get closer the Ozone Layer
False, the Ozone Layer absorbs UV radiation from the Sun and therefore its gets warmer as you get closer to it.
This layer burns up meteors, which is what we see as shooting stars.
What is the Mesosphere?
This is a gas in our atmosphere contributed from the water cycle
What is water vapor?
These are formed when water molecules clump together to form tiny droplets of liquid water
What are clouds?
When the water goes even deeper into the ground
What is Percolation?
Exosphere is a really big, thick layer
False, the Exosphere is a really thin layer of the atmosphere and blends into Space.
Satellites can be found orbiting the Earth in this layer
What is the Exosphere?
These are located within the Thermosphere
What are charged atoms and molecules?
