3. /The vibration of the earth produced by the rapid release of energy.
7. /The process of converting a liquid into a gas.
8. /The transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity. Energy is transferred through collisions from one molecule to another.

23. /A large body of air this is characterized by similar temperatures and amonts of moisture in any given altitude.
24. /Thermal energy transferred from one object to another.
25. /A front along which a warm air mass overrides a retreating mass of cooler air.

1. /A molecule of oxygen containing thre oxygen atoms.
2. /The thin rocky outer layer of earth.
4. /A small earthquake that follows a main earthquake.
5. /A seismic wave that travels along the surface of Earth.
6. /The process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges.
10. /The force exerted by the weight of a column of air above a given point.
