Earth Systems Final Project

5. Volcanic Rock, Ash and hot gas.
7. The layer of gasses surrounding the earth.
10. The living part of the earth which includes living organisms and undecomposed.
11. Amount of water vapor in the air.
13. Warm air is caught between two cold air masses.
15. Air that forms in low latitudes where the air is warm.
18. Thin feathery clouds that may be in patches or thein sheets.
19. Hot liquefied rock that breaks the earth's surface.
21. orbits planets and asteroids, larger planets have more than smaller planets.
24. funnel shaped columns of spiral wind that extend downward from a cloud and touch the ground.
25. Soil that forms in humid areas with cool seasons and forest.
26. A type of air masses that form over land.
27. Soil that forms Where it is hot and wet It's not very fertile.
28. All the water of the earth. Includes water on the surface underground.
29. small rocky objects that orbit a star, but they are smaller than planets.

1. The process in which the rock is broken into smaller pieces.
2. Process that breaks down rock through chemical changes.
3. When cold air moves under warm air, pushing the warm air up.
4. Stratus Clouds that are near the ground.
5. forms over high latitudes where the air is cold.
6. Responsible for seafloor spreading and continental drift.
8. Small area storms formed by the strong upward movement of warm moist air.
9. When warm air moves over cold air.
12. Any form of water, such as rain, sleet, snow or hail that falls to the earth's surface.
14. Explains How our solar system, even the planets, were formed.
16. Two adjacent tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
17. Soil that forms where it's dry.
20. A type of air that forms over larger bodies of water such as the ocean.
22. individual masses of fluffy white clouds with flat bottoms.
23. Hot liquid rock underground.
