water cycle

100

This part of the water cycle is when the water is absorbed back into the ground flowing through cracks in the soil and rocks

Infiltration

200

Extra water implants is sent out through the leafs pores in a process called?

Transpiration

300

This cycle means that wet leaves at the start of the cycle will return at the end of the cycle?

Conservative cycle

400

After infiltration, some of the water just keeps going down into the ground. This is called?

Percolation

500

This is one water goes from ice to vapor without going through the liquid state?

Sublimation

cycles

100

This cycle is the basis of life as we know it. Our bodies contain a lot of it. The biggest part of the cycle happens in the atmosphere?

The carbon cycle

200

This cycle is closely related to the carbon cycle. These two cycles are constantly interacting..

Oxygen cycle

300

What is the most common gas in the air?

Nitrogen

400

This cycle mainly involves the geosphere and it does not very often end up in the atmosphere what cycle is it?

The rock cycle

500

In this cycle we must eat something to give us the nutrients we need. This cycle is called?

The mineral cycle

Zones

100

This zone is overheated for most of the year, and typically stays hot. We call this zone

Tropical

200

This zone has warm summers and mild winters. We live in this zone?

The temperature zone

300

This zone is located at both Poles?

The polar zone

400

This is zone is also called the dry zone

The subtropical zone

500

This zone has cool summers in really cold winters?

Subpolar zone

Rocks

100

This type of rock is formed from magma deep inside the earth. It means fire?

Igneous

200

This rock is also made underground. These rocks are made in the crust nit the mantle. These also come in many forms?

Sedimentary 

300

This last type of rock is called the changing rock. Just like a caterpillar changes to a butterfly, so does this type of rock change. 

Metamorphic

400

This is a sliding motion that happens when two plates of the earths crust press up against each other ? What is this motion called? Hint?? Think of the saltine cracker experiment.

Transform

500

This motion means moving apart. It can cause rifts in the earths crust. It can also cause mountains to form? 

Divergence
