Atmosphere
What is the greenhouse effect?
Gasses get trapped in the atmosphere making earth hotter
Precipitation
What is rain?
Snow
Precipitation in the form of of ice crystals
Mesosphere
What is the coldest layer?
Percolation

Sea ice is?
Frozen water that forms on the ocean, can be year-round or only during the winter months.

Surface runoff
Water that flows on the surface
Permafrost soil
