The process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves.
Stomata
perspiration
Transpiration
Evaporation
The process that moves large bodies of Earth materials to higher elevations.
plate tectonics
earthquakes
uplift
This occurs when sediments are carried by wind, water or glaciers to new locations.
erosion
rivers
deposition
This type of rock forms from heat and pressure.
igneous
metamorphic
sedimentary
Moisture that falls from the clouds to Earth's surface.
Rain
Condensation
Precipitation
Process by which gas changes into a liquid.
precipitation
condensation
evaporation
Weight pushes down on layers of sediment causing this:
cementation
compaction
deposition
Which of these is not one of Earth's interacting systems?
hydrosphere
Biosphere
rhizosphere
Geosphere
True or false: During the rock cycle, rocks might not be rocks at all.
false
True
The process that transports and continually changes rocks into different forms.
The Water Cycle
The Music Cycle
Earth quakes
The Rock Cycle
These are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living rock. Form from deposits that accumulate on Earth's surface.
igneous rocks
sedimentary rocks
metamorphic rocks
The continuous movement of water on, above and below Earth's surface.

True or False: A metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock.
False
True
Minerals are dissolved between grains of sediment and cement the sediments together.
deposition
compaction
cementation
Which reservoir holds the largest amount of Earth's water?
swamps
Salt water (ocean)
Lakes
Rivers
True or False: Lava flows beneath the earth.
True
False
When agents of erosion lose their energy and slow down, sediments are deposited in a new location.

Animals release water vapor when they breathe.
