When water vapor cools and forms tiny droplets that create clouds, this process is known as:

What is the process called when water falls from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail?

Water from precipitation that flows over land into rivers, lakes, and oceans is called:

What is the continuous movement of water between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere called?

Why is most of Earth's freshwater found underground instead of in lakes and rivers?

Why is freshwater important if most of Earth's water is in the oceans?

Which of the following is not a way people can conserve water?

Which landform is completely surrounded by water?

What do we call a deep, narrow valley with steep sides, usually carved by a river?

A flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area is called a:

A high, steep, and rocky landform that rises above the surrounding land is known as a:

A low area between mountains or hills, often with a river flowing through it is called a:

A landform surrounded by water on three sides and connected to a larger landmass is called a:

Which of the following is an example of erosion?

Which of the following is not an example of erosion?

Which of the following is an example of weathering?

What process causes rocks to break apart due to tree roots growing into cracks?

Which process involves rock being broken down into smaller pieces, rather than moved to a new location?

Which of the following is not an example of weathering?

"Millions of years ago, the Earth's continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the continents slowly drifted apart to their present locations. Evidence for this theory includes the way continents seem to fit together like puzzle pieces, the discovery of the same fossils on different continents, and similar rock formations found across oceans. This suggests that the continents were once connected before gradually moving apart due to forces beneath the Earth's surface." According to the document, what was the name of the supercontinent that once existed?

"Wind and ocean currents play a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate and weather patterns. Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, which result from the uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the Sun. These winds help move ocean currents, which are large streams of moving water in the oceans. Warm ocean currents, like the Gulf Stream, transport heat from the equator to colder regions, while cold ocean currents, such as the California Current, bring cool water from polar areas to warmer regions. This movement of wind and water affects global temperatures, weather conditions, and even marine life." According to the document, what causes winds to form?

A large rock on a mountain cracks and breaks apart over time because water seeps into the cracks, freezes, and expands, is this an example of weathering or erosion?

A river slowly carries small pieces of soil and rock downstream, changing the shape of the riverbank over time. Is this an example of weathering or erosion?

Strong winds in the desert blow sand against rocks, wearing them down and making them smoother over time. Is this an example of weathering or erosion?

Acid rain falls on a limestone statue, causing it to slowly dissolve and lose its details. Is this an example of weathering or erosion?
