WINDS
This type of energy is not depleted when used to create power.
Renewable Energy
When the sun heats up liquid water, this process occurs
evaporation
The thinnest, outermost layer of Earth.
Crust
This is the sister planet of Earth
Venus
The process of moving sediment from one place to another.
What is erosion
This device converts the rotating energy of blades into electricity.
Generator
Evaporation turns liquid water into this
water vapor
The thickest layer of the Earth, located below the crust.
Mantle
These rocky, metallic bodies are found mainly between Mars and Jupite
asteroids
The process of dropping sediment in a new location.
What is erosion
This is the primary source of energy that heats the atmosphere to produce wind.
Sun
This is the main heat source that causes evaporation to occur.
The sun
The type of crust found under the oceans, mostly made of basalt.
Oceanic Crust
The distance light travels in one year
light-year
This type of weathering changes the actual material of the rock (like rust).
What is chemical weathering
The number of blades on a traditional, modern wind turbine
Three
The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor.
transpiration
The two most abundant elements found in the Earth's crust.
Oxygen and Silicon
This is the 4th closest planet to the sun.
True or False: Living things like plant roots can cause weathering.
True
These are often placed on coastlines or in oceans because wind is stronger and steadier
Offshore Wind Farm
This moves slowly towards rivers and oceans because it is stored for a period of time in the ground.
groundwater
suggests this fifth distinct metallic ball exists at Earth's center.
Innermost Inner Core
This phenomenon occurs when the moon is in between the Earth and the sun, blocking out the sun's light.
solar eclipse
Weathering and erosion are usually this type of process (fast or slow?).
slow
