Cloud Formation

• The process by which water vapor in the air cools and condenses into water droplets.

• conservation, using renewable resources, protecting endangered species

• Rain that has been made more acidic than normal by pollutants in the atmosphere; often caused by industrial emissions.

• pollution, deforestation, soil erosion

• The prevention of wasteful use of a resource.

Hydrosphere

• Earth's ice, water vapor, and liquid water.

• A moving mass of ice formed over many years in which snowfall exceeds melting.

• Solid and molten rock, soil, and sediments.

• Wearing away of rock material at Earth's surface by water, wind, or ice.

• The range of a region's weather over one year or many years; varies from place to place because it depends on latitude and geography; longer term and location sensitive.

Water Cycle

• Model used to show the movement of water between atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere; phase change processes such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation are involved.

• A substance meant to prevent, destroy, or repel pests (such as insects or weeds).

• Educated guess based on an observation.

• Earth's ice, water vapor, and liquid water.

• A moving mass of ice formed over many years in which snowfall exceeds melting.
