Question	Answer
earths crust	is a thin layer of relatively cool rock that forms earths outer skin both on dry land and in the ocean
mantle	a layer underneath the crust a layer of very hot but mostly solid rock
core	below the mantle is the core earths outer core is made of molten metals such as iron and nickel that are almost as hot as the surface of the sun
tectonic plates	as the atmosphere moves it drags along large plates of lithosphere called
landfrorms	these collisions and seperation of plates result in
deposition	these climates charateristics in turn affect the rate of soil formation erosion and.....
evaporation	water moves from bodies of water and moist soil into the atmosphere by ....
transpiration	water also enters the atmosphere by...... the release of water vapor by plants through their leaves
precipitation	water returns from the atmosphere to earths surface as ..... such as rain or snow
condensation	precipitation occurs when water vapor undergoes ...... a change is state from a gas to a liquid
aquifers	some precipitation and surface water soaks down through soil and rock to recharge underground reservoirs or storage areas known as....
groundwater	aquifers are layers of rock and soil that hold....
law of conservation of matter	this principle is called the ....
nutrients	are matter that organisms require for their processes
biogeochemical cycles	nutrients circulate endlessly thought the environment in complex cycles called...... or nutrients cycles
primary producers	are organisms including plants and algae that produce their own food
photosynthesis	producers pull carbon dioxide out of their environment and combine it with water
consumers	are organisms mainly animals that must eat other organisms to obtain nutrients
decomposers	are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that breaks down wastes and dead organisms
cellular respiration	is the process by which organisms use oxygen to release the chemical reverse CO2 and water
eutrophication	the addition of phosphorus to bodies of water can lead to an overgrowth of producers (usually algae) in a process called.....
