100

A tool used to measure the TEMPERATURE of the air in a specific location

Thermometer

100
When water vapor cools and changes BACK into liquid droplets, forming clouds in the atmosphere

Condensation

100

These types of rocks form when magma cools BELOW Earth's surface. (Lava cools at the surface) 

Igneous Rocks

100

When the motion of the wind, water, or ice stops, the sediment settles.

Deposition

100
These resources replenish very quickly

Renewable Resources

200

An instrument used to measure wind speed

Anemometer

200
When water changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor) due to heat from the sun. It can happen in rivers, lakes, oceans, and even soil. 

Evaporation

200

These types of rocks can be gravel, sand, silt, or clay. They form when sediments are compacted and cemented together.

Sedimentary Rocks

200

Wind, water, and ice are all agents of...

Weathering

200

These resources take millions of years to replenish

Non-Renewable Resources

300

An instrument used to observe Wind Direction

Windsock

300

Water falls from the atmosphere to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Precipitation

300

These types of rocks form when an existing rock is changed by heat or pressure. The minerals in the rock change but do not melt. (The rock experiences these changes within the Earth)

Metamorphic Rocks

300

_______ (large rivers of ice) also carry out the process of weathering, erosion, and deposition. These move very slowly, moving only inches a year.

Glaciers

300

Water, Animals, Plants/Trees, Biomass, Geothermal, Wind/Air, and Sunlight are all considered these types of resources. 

Renewable Resources

400
A device used to measure atmospheric pressure

Barometer

400

Water that flows over the land surface toward rivers, lakes, or oceans

Surface Flow

400

The ______ of a mineral refers to how its surface reflects light. It is one of the key properties used to identify minerals.

Luster

400

The process when water, wind, and even ice move sediment from one place to another. 

Erosion

400

Fossil Fuels, Minerals, Metals, Nuclear Fuel, Petroleum are these kind of resources

Non-Renewable Resources

500

A tool used to collect rain or snow (measures volume (mL) and depth (cm).

Rain Gauge

500

Water that infiltrates the soil and moves slowly through underground layers toward larger bodies of water. 

Ground Flow

500

The color of the mineral in powder form when it is rubbed across an unglazed porcelain plate

Streak

500

The roots of _______ can grow deep into the cracks of rocks, breaking them apart, and considered another form of weathering

Plants

500

Florida is one of the largest producers of this non-renewable resource. It is mined and used primarily for fertilizers.
