All of the Earth's liquid and solid water participate in what cycle?

What is the water cycle?

200

Locations where plates slide past each other.

What is a transform boundary?

300

I am labeled both inner and outer, but I am still a large object that orbits a star.

What is a planet?

300
I am the direction weather moves around the globe.

What is west to east?

I make up the Earth's surface and can include rivers, mountains, lakes, caves plateaus, or valleys.

What are geological features or landforms?

500

Plate movement produce huge tilted blocks of rock that continue to increase in height over time.

What are convergent boundaries?
