Water Cycle $400 Why is the water cycle important to life on the Earth?
Water Cycle $400 Organisms on Earth depend on water for life (Without water, life would cease to exist)
Water Cycle for $500 Why is the formation of clouds an important part of the water cycle?
Water Cycle for $500 Clouds produce precipitation, which falls to the Earth’s surface.
Carbon Cycle for $100 What cycle is pictured below?
Carbon Cycle for $100 The Carbon Cycle
Carbon Cycle for $200 What gas in the atmosphere would increase if a large number of trees were cut down?
Carbon Cycle for $200 Carbon dioxide
Carbon Cycle for $300 In which part of a green plant does photosynthesis take place?
Carbon Cycle for $300 The leaves
Carbon Cycle for $400 Through which process is carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere and oxygen released into the air?
Carbon Cycle for $400 Photosynthesis
Carbon Cycle for $500 What is the carbon cycle?
Carbon Cycle for $500 The movement of carbon dioxide and oxygen between organisms and the atmosphere
Nitrogen Cycle for $100 What is the main way that nitrogen gas leaves the soil and gets into the atmosphere?
Nitrogen Cycle for $100 Bacteria change nitrogen compounds to nitrogen gas.
Nitrogen Cycle for $200 What state of matter is nitrogen when it is in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen Cycle for $200 A gas
Nitrogen Cycle for$300 Why is the nitrogen cycle important?
Nitrogen Cycle for $300 All living things need nitrogen
Nitrogen Cycle for $400 What is the role of decomposers in the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen Cycle for $400 Decomposers return nitrogen from dead organisms to the soil
Nitrogen Cycle for $500 What is the nitrogen cycle?
Nitrogen Cycle for $500 The movement of nitrogen between organisms and the atmosphere
Weather for $100 Which form of severe weather has the greatest wind speeds?
Weather for $100 Tornadoes
Weather for $200 The clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere are mainly made up of what substance?
Weather for $200 Water
Weather for $300 What are the four forms of precipitation?
Weather for $300 Rain, snow, sleet, and hail
Weather for $400 What type of air mass will most likely form over the Gulf of Mexico?
Weather for $400 A warm, wet air mass (A low pressure system)
Weather for $500 What causes the formation of winds on the Earth’s surface?
Weather for $500 Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the Earth’s atmosphere due to the sun.
Lunar Cycle for $100 What force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth?
Lunar Cycle for $100 Gravity
Lunar Cycle for $200 What causes the moon to appear bright in the night sky?
Lunar Cycle for $200 Reflected light from the sun
Lunar Cycle for $300 About how long is a lunar cycle?
Lunar Cycle for $300 About 28-30 days
Lunar Cycle for $400 Why can’t we see a new moon clearly?
