What is the Hydrosphere and the Lithosphere
The main features of each layer of the atmosphere
Las principales características de cada capa de la atmósfera.
What is...
Troposphere = weather/ where we live
Stratosphere = ozone layer
Mesosphere = meteors burn up
Thermosphere = hottest layer/ auroras
Exosphere = satellites

What is CFCs, ALMOST closed!!!
The processes through which precipitation occurs.
Los procesos mediante los cuales se produce la precipitación.
Water evaporates from the Earth, the vapor condensates into clouds, and then precipitation falls from the clouds
The definition of permeability.
La definición de permeabilidad.
What is how well water can flow through soil.
A man-made lake is an interaction of these spheres.
Un lago artificial es una interacción de estas esferas.
What is Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, and Biosphere

Los rangos de temperatura de las capas de la atmósfera?
What is...
Troposphere = -75C at the top,
Stratosphere = -75C to -15C
Mesosphere = -15C to -90C

The process by which hail forms.
El proceso mediante el cual se forma el granizo.
Crazy winds within storm clouds bring ice pellets up and down within the clouds, freezing, melting, and refreezing the precipitation.
Thomas and Maggie want to dig in their yards to access groundwater. Thomas knows his backyard has clay-based soil. Maggie's yard is has a rocky soil.
Who's backyard is more likely to be able to hold more water? Why?
Thomas y Maggie quieren excavar en sus patios para acceder al agua subterránea. Thomas sabe que su patio trasero tiene suelo arcilloso. El de Maggie tiene suelo rocoso.
¿Qué patio trasero tiene más probabilidades de retener más agua? ¿Por qué?
What is Maggie's backyard, because her rocky yard probably has a higher porosity than Thomas's clay yard.
