Hydrosphere and Bios
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ? includes all of the water on or near the Earth's surface. | hydrosphere |
| ? is the continuous movement of water into the air, onto land, and then back to water sources. | water cycle |
| ? is the process by which liquid water is heated by the sun and then rises into the atmosphere as water vapor. | evaporation |
| In the process of ? water vapor forms water droplets on dust particles. | condensation |
| In the process of ? rain, snow, sleet, or hail forms and fall to the Earth. | precipitation |
| Water covers a little over ? percent of the Earth's surface. | 70 |
| The largest ocean on Earth is the ? | Pacific |
| The deepest point on the ocean floor is in the ? ocean. | Pacific |
| The Pacific Ocean is divide into the North Pacific and South Pacific based on ?. | direction of surface current flows in each |
| The smallest ocean is the ?. | Arctic Ocean |
| The difference between ____________ and _____________ is that the _________________ contains more salt. | ocean water, fresh water, ocean water |
| The salinity of ocean water is the concentration of all the dissolved ? it contains. | salt |
| The ? is the layer in which the temperature falls rapidly with depth. | thermocline |
| One of the most important function of the world ocean is to absorb and store ? from the sun. | energy |
| The ocean both absorbs and releases heat more slowly than ? does. | Earth |
| Local temperatures in different areas of the planet are also regulated by the world ?. | ocean |
| ? are stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocaean. | surface currents |
| ? are stream like movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. | deep currents |
| Most of the fresh water i locked up in ? and ?. | icecaps and glaciers |
| A ? contains all of the land drained by a river. | river system |
| ? are smaller stream or rivers that flow into larger ones. | tributaries |
| Most of the rain that falls on the surface is found in the form of ?. | ground water |
| A rock layer that stores and allows the flow of ground water is called an ?. | aquifer |
| The surface of the land where water enters and aquifer is called a ?. | recharge zone |
| The ? is the layer of the Earth where life can be found. | biosphere |
| The biosphere is made up of the uppermost level of the ?, most of the ? and the lower part of the ?. | geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere |
| The tiny, free floating, marine algae are known as ?. | phytoplankton |
| Most of the animals living deep in the ocean feed on ? plants and animals that drift down from the surface. | dead |
| In a ? system, energy enters the environment, but matter does not. | closed |
| In an ? system, both matter and energy are exchanged between a system and the surrounding environment. | open |
| Makes up all the water on the earth? | hydrosphere ELLIS |
| continuous movement of water into the air, onto land,then back threw the cycle | water cycle ELLIS |
