The regular movement of species from one region to another, often seasonally.

Connections where one event directly influences or causes the other one to happen.

Correlational Relationships

Two or more variables change together in a predictable pattern but does not necessarily mean that one causes the other to happen

The continuous movement of carbon among the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.

A colorless, odorless gas produced by respiration (breathing), combustion, and decomposition, essential for photosynthesis.

The strength, power, or force of a physical quantity, such as light or energy.

The path an object takes as it revolves around another body, such as Earth around the Sun.

An imaginary line through Earth’s center, from pole to pole, around which it rotates.

The spinning of Earth on its axis, causing day and night.

A period of time in Earth’s history when thick ice sheets covered great areas of land due to a significant reduction of global temperatures.

The movement of Earth’s tectonic plates that causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.

The large-scale movement of air or water that distributes heat and energy around Earth.

The formation and movement of glaciers over land.

The ability to do work or cause change, existing in various forms such as heat, light, and motion.

The usual height (level) of the ocean’s surface, used as a reference for measuring land elevation and ocean depth.

A mathematical representation of Earth’s climate system used to predict future climate changes.

A measure of how hot or cold something is.

Any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to Earth’s surface.

A measure of how acidic or basic (alkaline) a liquid is, on a scale from 0 to 14.

A process to change or undo something back to its original state or condition.
