Old mountains wear down in this process.
What is weathering?

In 1906, San Francisco, CA was destroyed in minutes by this phenomenon.
What is an earthquake?

This supply of fresh water is not found at the surface of Earth.
What is groundwater?

The incline, or tilt of the Earth's rotation causes these as it orbits the Sun.
What is the axis?
200
Energy is the ability to do this.
What is work?
200
New mountains are built up from the pushing together of two of these.
What are tectonic plates?
200
In 1991, many towns in the Philippines were covered in 30 feet of ash from Mount Pinatubo, which is this kind of mountain.
What is a volcano?

Snow is frozen water. If it gains thermal energy as it falls, it may turn to this.
What is rain (or sleet)
300
These space objects, including a planetoid nearly the same size as Pluto, orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. They are called these.
What are asteroids?

A rock falling from a mountain loses potential energy while gaining this:
What is kinetic energy?

The ocean floor builds up near the mouth of a river in this process.
What is deposition?

This large storm can erase a beach in a single day.
What is a hurricane?

Salt cannot evaporate. Where is the saltiest ocean water found?
What is at the surface?

A Full Moon was observed on February 14. When can the next Full Moon be seen?
When is March 14? (Credit for 2 days + or -).

This renewable energy is taken from the kinetic energy of falling water.
What is hydoelectic energy or power?
400
Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce acid rain. Below the surface, it can dissolve limestone and leave these.
What are caves or caverns?
400
If soil gets to wet from rain, houses and whole cities can slip off the side of mountains.
What is a landslide?
500
Clouds are composed of water droplets which are too small too do this.
What is fall to Earth?
500
The Earth's moon makes this many orbits of its planet in one Earth year.
What is twelve?
500
This renewable energy source takes advantage of the differences in temperature between the surface and below the ground.
What is geothermal energy?
500
Stalagmites and stalagtites are cave formations created by the deposition of minerals left behind by this substance.
What is water?

In 2004, a tsunami or tidal wave became the greatest natural disaster in human history. It was caused by this in the Indian Ocean.
