Rocks
What are the two major forms of molten rock
What is magma and lava
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of what natural occuring things.
What are tectonic plates
What is the measure of the empty (void) spaces within a material, calculated as the ratio of pore volume to total volume, usually expressed as a percentage?
What is porosity
Most plants must grow in this and have well treated what
What is soil
The process of a liquid turning into its gasses state typically occurring at the surface when molecule get enough energy to break intermolecular bonds
What is evaporation
What is the type of rock made when molten rock cools
What is Igneous
The breakdown of materials without movement is called what
What is weathering
It is a measure used to describe the dimensions of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gas bubbles, typically expressed as the diameter of an equivalent sphere.
What is partial size
This soil is found in the 0 horizon (upper most section) and consists of decayed matter that gives nutrients to plants
What is hummus
The process of where a gas or vapor turns into a liquid form seen as droplets on cups of a muggy day sometimes
What is condensation
What type of rock is shale
What is sedimentary.
New land is primarily formed by what natural event
What are volcanic eruptions or magma
What is the ability of a material to allow fluids or fields to pass through it
What is permeability
The three main soil sizes are sand, slit and what else
What is Clay
The process where water goes across roofs drains streets or soil without getting absorbed often carrying debris and fertilizer
What is runoff
What rock is hard black and has a low silica content
What is basalt.
What is formed by the slow decay and weathering of organic matter and bedrock
What is soil
What is formed by the slow decay and weathering of organic matter and bedrock
Because of its well-connected pore space, liquids pass easily.
These particles are the largest in soil allowing water to pass through quickly, but they hold few nutrients
What is sand
These terms describe the melting freezing evaporation and condescending of a liquid
What is phase change
What rock is black and has a low silica content
What is basalt.
What is the process where suspended particles and settled out of a fluid due to gravity and form a thick layer
What is sedimentation
What is the process where suspended particles and settled out of a fluid due to gravity and form a thick layer
What is sedimentation
This topmost layer of soil that has lots of humus soil what is it called
What is O horizon
These term talks about the power given from sun normal solar radiation that powers movement and phase changes
What are energy inputs
