Through which processes does water vapor enter the atmosphere?

2. Interactions of Earth’s Systems
water Cycle
Interactions of Earth’s Systems

3. Water Cycle
The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth’s surface
The sun provides the energy that drives the water cycle

4. Evaporation Water absorbs thermal energy and becomes warmer
Process by which a liquid turns into a gas

5. Transpiration
The process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves
Respiration- organisms release water vapor when they breathe

6. Condensation Temperatures in the troposphere decrease with altitude
Process by which a gas changes to a liquid
Releases thermal energy
Clouds form when millions of water droplets come together

7. Precipitation Moisture that falls from the clouds to Earth’s surface
Snow, rain, sleet, or hail
More than 75% falls into the ocean
Water continuously moves between the hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere

8. Water cycle contributes to the weather
Weather- the state of the atmosphere at a certain time or place
Temperature
Air pressure
Humidity- amount of water vapor
Climate- The average weather pattern for a region over a long period of time

9. How are transpiration and respiration similar? How are they different?

12. Rock Cycle
The series of processes that transport and change rocks into different forms

13. Cooling and Crystallization
When magma flows onto Earth’s surface it is called lava
Mineral crystals form as magma cools  changes the molten material into igneous rock

14. Uplift
The process that moves large bodies of Earth materials to higher elevations
Ex: mountain building

15. Weathering and Erosion
Weathering- Things (Glaciers, wind, rain, organisms) break down rocks into sediment
Rocks are exposed to the atmosphere, hydrosphere, the cryosphere, and the biosphere
Erosion- Sediments are carried to new locations
Deposition- Eroded elements are laid down (deposited) in new places
Forms layers of sediment

16. Compaction and Cementation
As more layers are deposited, their weight pushes down on the bottom layers
The deeper layers are compacted.
Minerals dissolved in water crystallize between grains of sediments and cement them together produce sedimentary rocks

17. High Temperature and Pressure
Form Metamorphic rocks
Happens deep within the Earth
Then uplift brings the rocks to the surface
Then rocks are broken down and continue moving through the rock cycle
