| #2 | Water vapor rises into the air and cools. The vapor changes into water droplets. This is called ________. | condensation |
| #3 | Water falls to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail is called _________. | precipitation |
| #4 | When water collects in lakes, streams, or oceans | storage |
| #5 | The movement of water from Earth's surface into the air and back again | water cycle |
| WEATHER & CLIMATE | ||
| #1 | What the air is like outside | weather |
| #2 | The blanket of air that surrounds Earth | atmosphere |
| #3 | This tool measures wind speed | anemometer |
| #4 | The amount of water vapor in the air | humidity |
| #5 | The pattern of weather in a place over many years | climate |
| ROCKS & MINERALS | ||
| #1 | This type of rock forms when melted rock cools and hardens | igneous |
| #2 | Rock that forms from sediments | sedimentary rock |

| SOIL & EARTH'S SURFACE | ||
| #1 | A solid feature on Earth's surface | landform |
| #2 | These cause rapid changes to Earth's surface... | volcanoes & Earthquakes |
| #3 | These cause very slow changes to Earth's surface... | erosion by wind, or water |
| #4 | The layer of loose material that covers most of the Earth's land. | soil |
| #5 | This type of soil breaks down to provide resources for making new soil. | bedrock |
| WEATHERING & EROSION | ||
| #1 | True or False: Water can cause weathering | TRUE |
| #2 | True or False: Glaciers cause erosion | TRUE |
| #3 | Name some causes of erosion | wind, water, gravity |
| #4 | Any process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces | Weathering |
| #5 | The movement of weathered materials | Erosion |
| Final Question | |
| How is erosion different from weathering? (This is a test Question!) | Weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces & erosion moves the weathered materials. |
