The attraction between water molecules that causes them to stick to each other.

The attraction between water molecules and other substances (like glass or soil).

A force created by cohesion that makes water act like a “skin” on its surface.

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance.

The ability of a substance to absorb heat energy.

The process of liquid water changing into water vapor (gas).

The process of water vapor cooling and turning into liquid water

The change from liquid water to solid (ice).

The change from solid (ice) to liquid water.

Water in solid form that is less dense than liquid water, so it floats.

Water is called this because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.

Water molecules have a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end, allowing many of its unique properties.

Any form of water that falls from clouds (rain, snow, sleet, hail).

The breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces at or near Earth’s surface.

The movement of weathered materials (sediment) from one place to another.

Physical (Mechanical) Weathering

The physical breaking of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition.

The breakdown of rocks through chemical changes (reactions with water, air, or acids)

The day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere (temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.).

The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time (years or decades).

The amount of water vapor in the air.

Energy from the Sun that drives weather and climate.
