The Water Cycle
Water occurs naturally in these three forms.
What is Solid, Liquid, and Gas?
The layer where the International Space Station orbits.
What is the thermosphere?
Refers to a time of year with typical weather patterns and daylight hours.
What is a season?
A layer of gases that surround a planet or moon and are held in place by gravity.
What is an atmosphere?
Season it is when our part of the world is tilted away from the sun.
What is winter?
What is sun and gravity?
What is the troposphere?
What is the tilt of the earth?
Earth's natural recycling system and reference to the continual movement of water above and below the Earth's surface.
What is 1 year?
This process occurs when liquid water on the Earth's surface turns into an invisible vapor in the air.
What is evaporation?
What is the ozone layer?
The reason why the southern hemisphere has winter when the northern hemisphere has summer.
What is it is tilted toward the sun?
The process of the water cycle that occurs when liquid water flows downhill into streams or rivers.
What is runoff?
What is soltice?
This process occurs when plants release water vapor from tiny pores in their leaves.
What is transpiration?
The fifth layer of the atmosphere that reaches an altitude of 10,000 km and contains most of the satellites that orbit the Earth.
This process occurs when small droplets of water in clouds form larger droplets and fall as rain, hail or snow.
What is precipitation?
Time when daylight and nighttime hours are equal.
What is the Equinox?
This process refers to rainwater soaking into the ground and flowing through soil or rock layers.
What is infilatration?
List the 4 main layers of the Atmosphere.
What is the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere?
Name three changes in environment that people identify seasons by.
This process occurs when water vapor in the air turns into liquid droplets to form clouds.
What is condensation?
Dates of the equinox.
March 21 and September 21.
