Question
Answer
Ground water   Water that fills the cracks and space in underground soil and rock layers  
🗑
Water cycle   The continual movement of water among earths atmosphere oceans and land surface through evaporation condensation and precipitation  
🗑
Evaporation   The process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas  
🗑
Transpiration   The process by which water is lost through a plants leaves  
🗑
Sublimation   The change is n state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state  
🗑
Precipitation   Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches earths surface as rain, snow, sleet or hail  
🗑
Inflitration   The process by which rainwater seeps through soil into groundwater  
🗑
Percolation   The movement of water through the openings in rocks or soil  
🗑
Evapotranspiration   The process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants  
🗑
Collection/refill   The process by which water gathers back into bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and oceans  
🗑
Run-off   Water that flows over the ground surface rather than soak into the ground  
🗑
Condensation   The change in state from a gas to a liquid  
🗑
Atmosphere   Earths air which is made up of a thin layer of gases, solids , and liquids; forms a protective layer around the planet  
🗑
Troposphere   Layer of earths atmosphere that is closer to the ground and contains 99% of water vapor 75% of the atmospheric gas where clouds and weather occur  
🗑
Ionosphere   Layer of electrically charged particles that in the atmosphere tha absorbs AM radio waves during the day and reflects them back at night  
🗑
Ozone layer   Layer of the stratosphere with a high concentration of ozone;absorbs most of the Suns harmful ultra violent rays  
🗑
Ultra violent radiation   A type of energy that comes from the earths sun, can damage skin and cause cancer  
🗑
Chlorofluorocarbons   Group of chemical compounds used in refrigerators, conditioners, foam packaging and aerosol sprays that may enter the atmosphere and destroy the ozone  
🗑
Radiation   Energy transferred by waves or rays  
🗑
Conduction   Transfers energy that occurs when molecules bump into eacgother  
🗑
Convection   transfer of energy by the flow of material  
🗑
Hydrosphere   All the water on earths surface  
🗑
Coriolis Effect   Causes moving air and water to turn left in the Southern Hemisphere and turn right in. In the Northern Hemisphere due to earths rotation  
🗑
Jet stream   Narrow belt of strong winds that blow near the top of the troposphere bve the wa  
🗑
Sea breeze   Movement of air from sea to land during the day when cooler air come see rom then water  
🗑
Land breeze   Movement of air from land to sea at night  
🗑
