JORGEWater cycle 8
JORGEWater cycle and layers of the earth science 8th grade
| 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 |
