|---|---|
| vocabulary | A vocabulary (also known as a lexicon) is a set of words, typically the set in a language or the set known to an individual. The word vocabulary originated from the Latin vocabulum, meaning "a word, name". |
| crust | The crust is a hard layer that forms on the outside of something, like a loaf of bread. |
| mantle | mantle is a layer inside a planetary body bounded below by a core and above by a crust. Mantles are made of rock or ices, and are generally the largest and most massive layer of the planetary body. |
| core | the central, innermost, or most essential part of anything. Synonyms: center, nub, kernel, gist, heart, essence. Also called magnetic core. |
| tectonic plates | A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. |
| landforms | Landforms are features on the Earth's surface that make up the terrain, such as mountains, valleys, plains or plateaux. They also include coastal features, such as peninsulas or bays, and underwater features, such as ocean basins and mid-ocean ridges. |
| deposition | Britannica Dictionary definition of DEPOSITION. 1. [count] law : a formal statement that someone who has promised to tell the truth makes so that the statement can be used in court. |
| evaporation | Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas. It is also one of the three main steps in the global water cycle |
| transpiration | Plants cool air around them through transpiration and their leaves block heat from the sun, as well as absorbing noiseent of water through the plant (transpiration) and the nitrogen is not taken up. |
| precipitation | Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet, or hail — any kind of weather condition where something's falling from the sky. Precipitation has to do with things falling down, and not just from the sky. |
| condensation | Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. In other words, the water in the air, a gas known as water vapor, from your hot shower cooled when it met the surface of the cold mirror. |
| aquifers | An aquifer is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater. Groundwater enters an aquifer as precipitation seeps through the soil |
| groundwater | Groundwater is water that exists underground in saturated zones beneath the land surface. The upper surface of the saturated zone is called the water table. Contrary to popular belief, groundwater does not form underground rivers. |
| law of conversation of matter | a binding custom or practice of a community : a rule of conduct or action prescribed (see prescribe sense 1a) or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority. (2) : the whole body of such customs, practices, or rules. T |
| nutrients | (NOO-tree-ent) A chemical compound (such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin, or mineral) contained in foods. These compounds are used by the body to function and grow. |
| biochemical cycle | A biogeochemical cycle, or more generally a cycle of matter, is the movement and transformation of chemical elements and compounds between living organisms, the atmosphere, and the Earth's crust. |
| primary producers | Autotrophs or primary producers are organisms that acquire their energy from sunlight and materials from nonliving sources. Algae, higher plants, and some bacteria and protists are important autotrophs in running waters. |
| photosynthesis | (FOH-toh-SIN-theh-sis) A chemical process that occurs in plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, when they are exposed to sunlight. During photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbohydrates (sugars) and give off oxygen. |
| consumers | A consumer is a person who consumes a product or service. The word consumer is often used interchangeably with the word customer. |
| decompose rs | A decomposer is any organism that breaks down or eats decaying material for its energy source |
| cellular respiration | Cellular respiration is the process by which cells derive energy from glucose. The chemical reaction for cellular respiration involves glucose and oxygen as inputs, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP) as outputs. |
| eutrophication | eutrophication, the gradual increase in the concentration of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other plant nutrients in an aging aquatic ecosystem such as a lake. |
| Nitrogen fixation | the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into a combined form (such as ammonia) through chemical and especially biological action (such as that of soil rhizobia) |
