Atmosphere
The most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
What is nitrogen?
This type of carbon cycle takes millions of years.
What is the geological carbon cycle?
The average weather conditions in a certain area over a long period of time.
What is climate?
These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and help regulate the Earth's temperature.
What are greenhouse gases?
This is where most water is stored on Earth.
What are the oceans?
The layer we live in where the clouds are located.
What is the troposphere?
This process removes carbon from the atmosphere by plants converting it into oxygen and sugar.
What is photosynthesis?
Earth's surface is divides into climate temperature zones based on this.
What is latitude?
This is causing the current accelerated warming of the Earth.
What is human activity?
This rock can be found in Mammoth Cave and is easily dissolved.
What is limestone?
When water vapor cools, condenses, and collects these form.
What are clouds?
This process adds carbon to the atmosphere as animals breathe it out.
What is respiration?
This climate is typically wet with heat and heavy rainfall.
What is tropical wet?
This kickstarted the Great Oxygenation Event.
What is cyanobacteria doing photosynthesis?
The reason water molecules stick together.
What is hydrogen bonding?
The "bend" of the wind due to Earth's rotation.
What is the Coriolis effect?
This process removes and adds carbon to the atmosphere through the oceans.
What is diffusion?
This climate is the coldest.
What is polar?
Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Dissolving and oxidation are examples of this.
What is chemical weathering?
The layer in which meteors burn up.
What is the mesosphere?
This process adds carbon to the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels.
What is combustion?
This climate is humid with mild winters.
What is temperate marine?
Over the last 20 years, sea levels have risen this much per year.
What is 3.2mm?
This fact about water allows it to cycle.
What is that it can be found naturally in all 3 states of matter?
