Earth´s interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes

the layer of Earth made up of solid rock and other rocky materials

the total amount of water on a planet.

The atmosphere is a layer of gas and suspended solids extending from the Earth's surface up many thousands of miles, becoming increasingly thinner with distance but always held by the Earth's gravitational pull.

the region on, above, and below the Earth's surface where life exists

the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth

the uppermost layer in the atmostphere

the flow of energy into and out of a system

the strong lower part of the mantle.

the layer of the atmosphere that lies between the troposhere and mesosphere.

the lowest part of the atmosphere.

the layer of the atmosphere at an altitude of 15 to 40 km in which ozone absorbs ultra violet solar radation

the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of earth that occurs when water vapor carbon dioxide.

a mesausre of how hot or cold something is.

the total kinetic energy of a substance's atoms

an increase in the size of a substance in respond to an increase in the tempature of the substance.

the energy transferred between objects that are at different temaptures.

the transfer of energy as elctromagenitec waves.

the movement of matter due to differences in density.

The transfer of energy as heat through material.

the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure.

the curving path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to earths rotation.

the movement of air over Earth's surface in patterns that are worldwide

the movement of air over short distances.

a narrow band of strong winds that blow in the upper troposphere

a movement of ocean water that follows a regular pattern.

a horizantal movement of ocean water that is caused by wind and that occurs at or near the oceans surface

a stream like movement of ocean water far below the surface

any movement of matter that results from differences in density

the movement of deep,cold and nutrient rich water to the surface
