THIS force pulls objects toward each other

Gravity

100

THIS is the main source of energy that powers the water cycle

The Sun

100

THIS is the most common gas in our atmosphere (Oxygen is #2)

Nitrogen

100

THESE planets are smaller and have rocky surfaces

Inner Planets

100

THIS model was the earliest idea of the solar system's arrangement.

Geocentric

200

THESE are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun

Tides

200

The ice cubes in the picture cause THIS step in the water cycle.

Condensation

200

The red line on this graph represents the temperature of THIS

Land

200

THIS moon phase

Waning Gibbous

200

THIS type of breeze usually happens at night:

Land Breeze

300

THIS step in the water cycle

Transpiration

300

BOTH of these are caused by wind blowing across the ocean

Waves and Surface Currents

300

THIS weather phenomenon creates strong storms and possibly tornadoes:

Cold Front

300

THIS type of eclipse that only happens during full moons:

Lunar Eclipse

300

Cold, salty water sinks below warm water because it is THIS.

High Density
400

THIS type of heat transfer

Convection

400

THIS type of tide occurs during 1st quarter and 3rd quarter moons:


Neap Tide

400

Hurricanes need THIS kind of environment to form

Warm and Moist

400

In the picture, the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing THIS season.

Winter

400

THIS current keeps Europe warm despite how far north it is

Gulf Stream

500

THIS current

Global Ocean Conveyor Belt

500

THESE occur between warm water near the equator and cold water near the poles

Deep Ocean Currents

500

If the weather in the morning is HOT and HUMID, you can expect THIS weather in the afternoon

Rain (heat will accelerate the water cycle, leading to evaporation, condensation, and then precipitation)

500

THIS moon phase occurs at number 3

1st Quarter Moon
