Water Cycle 1
Salt water is what percent of water on earth?
What is 97%? (if only it was 30% lower. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
Define The Water Cycle
The movement of water around the ocean, atmosphere, and land.
3% of water is what?
What is freshwater?
This gas makes up 78% of the atmosphere. (hint: #7 on the periodic table)
What is Nitrogen?
We live here in this layer
What is the troposphere?
The temperature that water freezes at
What is 32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 degrees Celsius?
What is evaporation?
Water converts from liquid to a gas
Fraction of freshwater that is ice
What is 2/3?
This gas makes up 21% of the atmosphere. (Hint:#8 on the periodic table)
What is Oxygen?
Contains the Ozone Layer
What is the Stratosphere?
The temperature that water boils at
What is 210 degrees Fahrenheit / 98 degrees Celsius?
What is condensation?
Water vapor that rises into the sky.
The water cycle (and different kinds of weather) move through this layer of the atmosphere
What is the Troposphere?
This gas is 1% of the atmosphere (Hint: 18 on the table)
What is Argon?
Most meteors burn up in this layer
What is the Mesosphere?
Rain, snow, and hail are part of this water cycle process
What is Precipitation?
Define Precipitation
Water that falls from clouds, hitting the ground.
A mixture of different gases form this
What is the atmosphere?
This one takes up 0.04% of the atmosphere (CO2)
What is Carbon Dioxide?
The I.S.S (International Space Station) orbits in this layer
What is the Thermosphere?
The percentage of water that makes up the Earth's surface
What is 71%?
Define transpiration
Water evaporating from plants.
This common element in the atmosphere is used for freezing things very quickly (−196 °C or −321 °F)
What is Nitrogen?
The combined total of all these percentages from this section all add up to what?
What is 100%?
Satellites can be seen at night in this layer
What is the Exosphere?
