The Water Cycle
What are the 3 main parts of the water cycle
Evaporation, Condensation, and Percipitation
The breakdown of Earth's surface into sediment by physical and/or chemical processes is called
Weathering
When water moves over Earth’s surface, material is moved from one place to another in a process called
Erosion
What makes a resource a nonrenable resource?
The resource will eventually run out.
One advantage and one disadvantage of coal
Coal causes pollution, we will run out of it eventually.
What is the term for when water runs down a mountain?
Runoff
Sea cliffs are usually made by weathering and deposition. How would weathering relate to making sea cliffs?
Weathering is needed to break down the rock that is making up the coast line.
Sea cliffs are usually made by weathering and deposition. How would erosion relate to making sea cliffs?
Erosion is needed to remove the broken particles. The particles are broken down by weathering, but removed from the are due to erosion.
Which is a more expensive form of energy, Renewable or Nonrenewable?
Renewable
What is weather?
Weather is the temperature and conditions of an area for a short amount of time.
What is the term used for describing a situation when the water in a puddle dries up?
Evaporation
How do glaciers/ ice weather rocks?
They get deeper when they melt and when they freeze, it breaks the rocks little by little
Water also places sand, dirt, and rock in new places in the process called
Depostion
What is an advantage and disadvantage of solar energy?
Teacher Discretion
What is climate?
Climate is the average weather over time. Usually 30 years or more.
What is the correct order of the water cycle starting with Percipitation?
Percipitaion, evaporation, condensation
The Grand Canyon was weathered by which element?
Water. The Colorado River runs through the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Islands along the coast are formed how?
Water deposites sediment in areas of low current, causing a build up of sediment creating an island.
What are two positives of recycling
Teacher discretion
Wind, Water, Sunlight, and Trees are all examples of
Renewable Resources
True or False: Once water vapor has been evaporated it turns into a cloud?
False: Water vapor must cool down and condense to form a cloud.
Water, wind, and ice
What is the difference between Erosion and Deposition?
Erosion is the moving of sediment and Depostion is the depositing (dropping off) of sediment into a certain spot.
What is an advantage and a disadvantage of using coal as a form of energy?
Teacher Discretion
Natural Gas, Coal, Petrulum, and Gold are all examples of what?
Nonrenwable resources
