What are the 3 climate zones?
Polar, temperate, tropical
200
What form of matter does evaporation show?
gas
200
what system does a volcano belong to?
geosphere
200
What is the difference between high and low pressure?
High pressure days show happy or fair weather, the sun is out
Low pressure is lousy or stormy weather
200
True or false? Rocks always take the same path in the rock cycle.
False
200
What cause the different climate zones?
convection of the atmosphere
300
Name 3 places water can be 'stored' in the water cycle
ground, ocean, lakes, rivers, atmosphere, glaciers, living things.
300
What systems are included in healthy soil?
all 4 atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere
300
What does this symbol represent? 
Cold front
300
What is weathering?
breaking a rock down
300
How does a locations proximity to the ocean affect the climate?
When a location is closer to the water, the temperature is similar to the ocean
400
During which part of the water cycle do clouds form?
condensation
400
Give an example of something that exists in the hydrosphere and geosphere at the same time
clouds, ocean, muddy river
400
What are the 4 forms of precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet, hail
400
What is erosion?
Moving it away
400
what two things cause the ocean currents
convection and salinity (salty) cause water to sink and rise
500
Where does precipitation happen in the water cycle?
From the clouds, when it rains/snows.
500
What does the rock cycle and water cycle have in common?
Both reuse material
500
What conditions would create a winter storm?
cold front and low pressure
500
Why is the grand canyon a good example of weathering a erosion?
Weathering and erosion is a major land form that shows how rocks are broken down differently by weather and how it's been moved over a long period of time
500
What the gulf stream?
warm current of water leaving the gulf of mexico to europe
