Spheres
All the water that is found on the Earth.
What is the hydrosphere?
When two plates collide with each other.
What is collision?
They are the natural features and shapes existent on the face of Earth.
What are landforms?
The process where water turns into vapour by the sun from a body of water.
What is evaporation?
This prefix means 'life'.
What does 'bio-' mean?
The process when two oceanic plates pull apart from each other.
What are divergent oceanic plates?
A collection of landforms.
What is a landscape?
The process where ice and snow evaporate into a gas.
What is sublimation?
The biosphere contains all life on Earth.
Which sphere contains all life on Earth?
Magma rises through the weakened crust, forming a volcano.
What happens in divergent continental plates?
Slope, elevation, stratification, rock exposure and rock type.
What are five physical features of landforms?
The combination of both transpiration and evaporation from the Earth's ground.
What is evapotranspiration?
No, water in the atmosphere is part of the hydrosphere.
Is the water in the sky, like clouds, part of the atmosphere?
Subduction occurs at this boundary.
What process occurs in a convergent boundary?
The physical arrangement of landforms that form a specific terrain.
What is topography?
The movement of water in the atmosphere, i.e. clouds, fog, etc.
What is advection in the water cycle?
The five main layers are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere and the exosphere.
What are the fiver layers of the atmosphere?
The collision of the Indian and Eurasian plate created the mountain range.
The collision of which two plates created the Himalayas?
All four landforms are examples of erosion.
Which geomorphic process include these landforms: river valleys created by running water, cirques/U-shaped valleys created by wind, and stacks and bays created by wave action.
The water is part of the geosphere when it seeps down into the ground.
Which sphere does water become part of, through percolation?
