What is weather?
What is metamorphic?
Plate boundary that creates mountains.
What are convergent plate boundaries?
This seismic wave reaches the seismic station first and is used to help determine the epicenter of an earthquake
What is a primary wave? (P-Wave)
When people breathe we interact with this sphere.
What is the atmosphere?
The continuous movement of water throughout Earth and the atmosphere.
What is the water cycle?
