Water Cycle $100

By what process does water in lakes and oceans enter the atmosphere?

Water Cycle $100

Evaporation

Water Cycle $200

Which form of energy powers the water cycle

and winds?

Water Cycle $200

Solar energy

Water Cycle $300

Which gas in the atmosphere

condenses to form clouds?

Water Cycle $300

Water vapor

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 $100What 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?

Lunar Cycle $400

It is in the Earth’s shadow.

Lunar Cycle for $500

What causes the lunar cycle?

Lunar Cycle for $500

Different amounts of light are reflected by the moon as it orbits the Earth

Life Cycles for $100

What is a life cycle?

Life Cycles for $100

The stages of growth that an organism

undergoes during its lifetime

Life Cycles for $200

What are the stages of

development in a complete

metamorphosis?

Life Cycles for $200

Egg, larva, pupa, adult

Life Cycles for $300

What are the stages of growth in an incomplete metamorphosis?

Life Cycles for $300

Egg, nymph, adult

Life Cycles for $400

How is a dog’s life cycle most like the

life cycle of a plant?

Life Cycles for $400

Both life cycles show how an organism

grows and develops during its life

Life Cycles for $500

A life cycle is a type of system.

What is a system?

Life Cycles for $500

A group of parts that work together

to perform a common function
