All the water at and near the surface of the earth, 97% of which is in oceans
biosphere
cryosphere
hydrosphere
atmosphere
The continuous process by which water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back.
carbon cycle
erosion
water scycle
rock cycle
The process by which water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas (water vapor)
Traspiration
Evaporation
Evacuation
Photosynthesis
The process by which moisture is carried through plants and is released to the atmosphere
Photosynthesis
Transpiration
Evaporation
Condensation
Physical change in matter from a gas to a liquid .
Evaporation
Respiration
Condensation
Freezing
Chemical weathering is typically caused by all of the following EXCEPT:
water
oxygen
acid rain
freezing/thawing
Are erosion and weathering dependent upon one another ?
No- they are separate events that occur independently.
Yes-they both need to occur for the cycle to continue.
Heat and pressure deep beneath the Earth's surface can change rock to this type of rock.
when water is stored underground
When water creates lakes
when precipitation flows into rivers and lakes
What is the process called that allows water to seep back into the Earth?
Discharge
Infiltration
Runoff
Condensation
Whats the
difference
between weathering and erosion?
They are the same thing
One is constructive
Weathering is breaking down, erosion is moving
Erosion is breaking down, weathering is moving
Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of rock?
Igneous
Metamorphic
Magma
Sedimentary
The rock cycle includes all of the steps EXCEPT which of the following?
magma or lava cools
Sediments melt deep beneath Earth’s surface.
Extreme heat and pressure form metamorphic rocks.
Rocks @ Earth's surface are broken down into smaller pieces.
What is correct order of the processes responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks?
erosion, weathering, compaction, cementation, deposition.
compaction, cementation, deposition, weathering, erosion
deposition, cementation, compaction, erosion, weathering
weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation.
Which of the following weathering processes involves the constant freezing & thawing of water?
Unloading
exfoliation
Frost Wedging
spheroidal weathering
The water cycle is :
distribution of drinking water on Earth.
unending circulation of Earth’s water supply.
the recycling of water after industrial use.
the evaporation of water from Earth’s surface.
Balance in the water cycle means that
average annual rain over Earth ='s amount of H20 evaporates
water that falls to Earth only enters oceans.
faliing rain ='s same weight as condesnse clouds.
water evaporates from earth surface and then stays forever in atmosphere
Groundwater is found underground in the zone of:
aeration
porostiy
sediment
saturation
During a change in state, energy is transferred in the form of
motion
heat
moisture
light
Which of the following processes describes how vegetation influences precipitation?
Photosythesis
transpiration
evaporation
condensation
