Plate tectonics
18
Geosphere: All of the rock at and below the earths surface.
Lithosphere: Sphere of earth made up of hard rock on and just below earths surface.
Biosphere: The earth and all its organisms and environments.
Core: The layer of earth below the mantle.
Tectonic Plate: One of the rigid layers of the lithosphere.
Landform: Mountain, Island or continent.
Deposition: The movement and accumulation of eroded soil.
Nutrient: Matter that organisms need to carry out their life process.
Consumer: Organism that rely's on other organisms for energy and nutrients.
Nitrogen fixation: Conversion of nitrogen gas into ammonia.
Decomposer: Organism that breaks down nonliving matter into simple parts.
Hydrosphere: All of the water above and below earths surface and in atmosphere.
Mantle: The layer of very hot but mostly solid rock beneath earths crust.
Atmosphere: The thin layer of gasses that surrounds the earth.
Photosynthesis: Process which primary producers use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars releasing oxygen.
Aquifer: Underground rock sand or gravel that holds the water.
Law of conservation of matter: Amount of matter n earth never changes, just recycles.
Cellular respiration: Process which organisms use oxygen to release chemical energy of sugars producing carbon dioxide and water.
Groundwater: Fresh water below earths surface.
Transpiration: The release of water vapor by plants through their leaves.
