What is the process called when water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water?

condensation

100

This sphere includes all living things like fungi, parasites and bacteria.

Biosphere

100

The prefix atmos- means...

gas/air

100

Rain seeps into the ground and plants are able to take up the water through their roots. What systems are interacting? (3)

bio, geo and hydro

100

Water is pulled down as precipitation and through the ground through percolation due to what force?

gravity

200

What is the process called when liquid water changes into water vapor, a gas?

evaporation

200

This sphere contains all of the water in, on and around Earth, including as a liquid, solid and gas.

Hydrosphere

200

The prefix for bio- means?

Life

200

You breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, while plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. What two systems are interacting? (2)

atmos, bio

200

Where does the water cycle begin?

No where!

300

The process by which water seeps into the ground is called? (not percolation yet)

infiltration

300

This sphere contains all of the solid parts of Earth, including the crust made of rocks and the mantle made of magma. 

Geosphere

300

The prefix for geo- means...

Earth
300

After heavy rain, a mudslide runs down a mountain side. What systems are interacting? (2)

hydro, geo

What fuels the water cycle?

the sun
400

What is the process called when plants release water vapor into the air through the stomata on their leaves?

transpiration

400

This sphere includes all the gases that we live in and breathe, like oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. 

Atmosphere

400

The prefix hydro- means...

water

400

People dig wells into the aquifer for things like personal use and irrigation of farmland. What systems are interacting? (3)

geo, hydro, bio

400
How has the amount of water on Earth changed over time?

it hasn't - it has remained the same

500

Water that reaches Earth's surface and flows into rivers, streams and oceans is called?

run-off

geo, atmos

500

The water cycle shows the interactions between which Earth spheres?

all of them
