Environmental Science CH 3

Precipitation

• rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds

• a single, large, interconnected body of water that covers 70% of Earth’s surface

• the flow of heat from a warmer object to a colder object when the objects are placed in direct physical contact

• vibration caused by slippage along a fault

Ionosphere

• the lower thermosphere

• the process in which liquid water is heated by the sun and then rises into the atmosphere as water vapor

• bottom layer of ocean from base of thermocline to the bottom of the ocean

• Earth’s innermost compositional layer

Evaporation

• the lower thermosphere

• the process in which liquid water is heated by the sun and then rises into the atmosphere as water vapor

• Earth’s innermost compositional layer

• smaller streams or rivers that flow into larger ones
