Water Cycle Questions1. Define transpiration- the process of plants releasing water vapor2. Define evaporation- liquid water gains enough energy and turns to
water vapor3. When water evaporates and cools, what
occurs? 4. After precipitation occurs, what happens to
the water?

Hardness Definition
• how resistant a substance is to scratching• the relative capacity of a substance for
scratching another or for being scratched or indented by another

Moh’s Hardness Scale Questions
1. What mineral can scratch all others on the data table?Diamond
2. What minerals can be scratched by calcite?Gypsum and Talc
3. Can quartz scratch topaz? Why or why not? No, quartz is softer than topaz.

Earthquakes1. What is the epicenter?
the area above the focus on the Earth’s surface2. What are P waves?
Primary- travel through solids, liquids & gases pushing rock particles ahead
3. What are S waves? Secondary- travel through solids moving rocksat right angles to wave motion
4. Which wave travels faster?P waves
5. What kind of wave causes the most damage and why?L waves- originate at the epicenter & moves surface up & down

High Pressure Systems
What happens after a high pressure systempasses through a location?
Happy weather- sunshine and dry

Low Pressure Systems
What happens after a low pressure system passes through?
Lousy weather- cloudy and precipitation

Volcanic Eruptions1. During an eruption, what is ejected into the
atmosphere?volcanic ash & gases
2. How can this affect the climate?cooling
3. Can an eruption cause global changes?Yes

Atmosphere
• Composition- What are the two most abundant gases in our atmosphere?Nitrogen & Oxygen
• Altitude- as altitude increases, temperature?Decreases
• Air pressure- as altitude increases, air pressure?Decreases
