Water
This is the property that allows water to attach to other water molecules
Cohesion
These are the three main types of rocks
Igneous, Metamorphic, and sedimentary
The process where water goes from its liquid to solid form is called what?
Freezing
This is the process of small amounts of rock breaking off due to natural forces.
Erosion
During the solar desalination lab, what form of transformation took place to get rid of the salt and make fresh water?
Evaporation and Condensation
Ice floats on water because it has less what?
Density
This is the type of rock formed by the compacted and stuck-together collection of other pieces of rocks.
Sedimentary Rocks
When water reaches the ground after becoming precipitation, what is the process called where water enters the ground
Infiltration
Why do tropical climates experience more erosion?
More rain than average
What Variable is the variable that an experimenter actively changes? Also known as the cause variable.
Independent Variable
This is the property of water that allows it to crawl up structures, such as the paper towel example
Capillary Action
There are two main types of igneous rocks, what is the kind that is formed inside of the crust of the Earth?
Intrusive Igneous Rocks
Heat and Pressure on igneous rocks will eventually turn the rock into what kind?
Metamorphic Rock
When trees have been cut down and there is nothing to hold the soil in place, erosion is more likely to occur. What is the name of the practice of clearcutting these trees?
Deforestation
What property allows bugs to walk along the surface of water?
Surface tension
This is the property of Water that is due to the different sides of a molecule having different charges.
Polarity
This rock forms when natural material, such as plant matter, accumulates and sticks together. Example being Coal.
Organic Sedimentary Rocks
When magma cools, what form of rock is the result?
Igneous rocks
What is the name of small pieces of rock or other matter that is transported by water or wind?
Sediment
This is the location of the most evaporation that happens regularly due to increased direct sunlight.
Oceans
Water's ability to dissolve many different substances gives it this title.
The Universal Solvent
This type of rock is characterized by lines or stripes in the rock formed by directional pressure.
Foliated Metamorphic rock
This is the process where water vapor cools and forms droplets, which result in clouds.
Condensation
What is the name of the day when a city will have to shut off its water due to overconsumption?
Day Zero
This rock type forms fossils the best.
Sedimentary
