Cycle of Matter-2

1. where tectonic plates meet. They are the cracks between the plates.
4. from a gas to a solid
7. cells single cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata
8. opening on the underside of leaves through which water transpires
9. the areas of the planet that are habitable for life.
11. in animals, the process of burning sugar in oxygen to release energy. Carbon dioxide is produced, as well.
14. the hot interior of the earth.
15. liquid to gas
16. effect greenhouse gasses absorb heat and trap it in earth’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gasses act as a blanket for the earth.
18. the process in which plants breath in carbon dioxide and take in water, then ‘cook’ it in sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen.
20. process of squeezing deposited sediment.

2. the layers of air surrounding the planet.
3. water storage water that is stored underground in rocks called aquifers
5. evaporation of water through plants.
6. plates sections of the earth’s crust.
10. the process of dropping off and building up layers of sediment.
12. when fossil fuels are burned in oxygen. It produced carbon dioxide.
13. all of the water on the planet
17. process of hardening compacted sediment into rock.
19. fuel coal, oil and natural gas. Created from sedimentary rock created from organic matter such as plants in ancient swamps.
20. the outer cool layer of the earth.
21. hot iron and nickel center of the earth
