is a thin layer of rock that forms Earth's outer surface on land and in the ocean.

the layer of very hot but mostly solid rock beneath Earth's crust

the layer of Earth below the mantle

the waste produced in processing ore

a mountain, island, or continent formed by the collisions and separation of tectonic plates

the movement and accumulation of eroded soil.

a change in state from a liquid to a gas

the release of water vapor by plants through their leaves

the return of water from the atmosphere to Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail the process of separating a solid substance (precipitate) from a solution

a change in a state from a vapor to a liquid

a sponge like formation of rock, sand, or gravel that holds water.

fresh water found below Earth's surface

law of conservation of matter

the principle that states that matter can change form but cannot be created or destroyed

Matter that organisms need to carry out their life processes

biogeochemical cycles

the circulation of nutrients through the atmosphere, also called nutrients cycle.

an organism that can capture energy from the sun or from chemicals and store it, also called autotroph

the process by which primary producers use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars, releasing oxygen.

an organism that relies on other organisms for energy and nutrients , also called heterotroph.

An organism (a fungus or bacterium) that breaks down nonliving matter into similar parts that can then be taken up and reused by primary producers

The process by which organisms use oxygen to release the chemical energy of sugars, producing carbon dioxide and water.

the introduction of phosphorus and nitrogen into a body of water that leads to an overgrowth of algae and other producers.

core	the layer of Earth below the mantle
tectonic plate	the waste produced in processing ore
landforms	a mountain, island, or continent formed by the collisions and separation of tectonic plates
deposition	the movement and accumulation of eroded soil.
evaporation	a change in state from a liquid to a gas
transportation	the release of water vapor by plants through their leaves
precipitation	the return of water from the atmosphere to Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail the process of separating a solid substance (precipitate) from a solution
condensation	a change in a state from a vapor to a liquid
aquifer	a sponge like formation of rock, sand, or gravel that holds water.
groundwater	fresh water found below Earth's surface
