Cycle of Matter-2

2. hot iron and nickel center of the earth
4. liquid to gas
5. the hot interior of the earth.
6. the process in which plants breath in carbon dioxide and take in water, then ‘cook’ it in sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen.
8. the outer cool layer of the earth.
10. from a gas to a solid
11. fuel coal, oil and natural gas. Created from sedimentary rock created from organic matter such as plants in ancient swamps.
13. opening on the underside of leaves through which water transpires
14. the layers of air surrounding the planet.
17. in animals, the process of burning sugar in oxygen to release energy. Carbon dioxide is produced, as well.
19. the areas of the planet that are habitable for life.
20. the process of dropping off and building up layers of sediment.

1. process of squeezing deposited sediment.
2. when fossil fuels are burned in oxygen. It produced carbon dioxide.
3. process of hardening compacted sediment into rock.
4. evaporation of water through plants.
7. all of the water on the planet
9. cells single cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata
12. where tectonic plates meet. They are the cracks between the plates.
15. effect greenhouse gasses absorb heat and trap it in earth’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gasses act as a blanket for the earth.
16. water storage water that is stored underground in rocks called aquifers
18. plates sections of the earth’s crust.
