This powers the water cycle
The Sun

Water as a gas is known as

When a mineral is broken what's left is called its
Cleavage
Rocks that crystalize from high pressure
Metamorphic Rock
A canyon is a landform created by this process
erosion
Clouds, Fog, Mountain Dew are all examples of
Condensation
This is used to measure the hardness of minerals
Rocks are classified based on
How they are formed
Explain the difference between weathering, erosion and deposition
weathering is breaking down rock
erosion is rock being carried away
deposition is where that rock ends up
The name of the outermost surface of Earth

When water falls back to earth surface it ends up as either two things
