Atoms
This is the core, or center, of an atom.
What is a nucleus?
This is a molecule made of 1 carbon atom and 1 oxygen atom.
What is Carbon Monoxide?
These 2 elements combined create water or H2O.
What are Hydrogen and Oxygen?
This is the process of breaking down rocks.
What is Weathering?
This is the process by which rocks or particles of rocks are transported from their original location and deposited elsewhere.
What is erosion?
These substances surround the central nucleus
What is an electron?
These molecules is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
What are water molecules?
This body of water holds roughly 97% of all water on Earth.
What is the ocean?
This is the deterioration of stone as a result of chemical reactions.
What is Chemical Weathering?
This is the most common form of erosion.
What is Water Erosion?
This 1 of 2 substances that make up an atom's nucleus?
What is a proton?
This substance is a molecule created by a combination of sodium and chlorine.
What is salt?
This is the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water.
What is water quality?
This is a type of rain that forms through air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide.
What is acid rain?
This form of erosion can only occur on smaller sediments such as dust and sand.
What is Wind Erosion?
This is the other 1 of 2 substances that make up an atom's nucleus?
What is a neutron?
This gas is represented by this chemical formula:
CO2
What is carbon dioxide?
This is water that has little to no salinity.
What is Freshwater?
This is a type of weathering caused by animals and plants.
What is biological weathering?
This is the least common form of erosion and only occurs in certain places on earth.
What is Ice Erosion?
These are what hold together molecules.
What are chemical bonds?
This molecule, also called a sucrose molecule, is represented by this chemical equation:
C12H22O11
What is a sugar molecule?
This is water with substances dissolved in it that lower it's pH.
What is acidified water?
This is the process by which rocks break down into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.
What is Physical Weathering?
This process occurs when a rock's chemical composition changes, such as when iron rusts or when limestone dissolves due to carbonation.
