1. Concept Check 1. What process creates sediment?
2. How is an igneous rock formed?
3. How is a sedimentary rock formed?
4. How is a metamorphic rock formed?
5. List the particles from biggest to smallest in size : Clay, Sand, Soil

2. Concept Check 1. What process creates sediment? Weathering & Erosion
2. How is an igneous rock formed?
Cooled magma
3. How is a sedimentary rock formed?
Sediment is compacted (squished) together
4. How is a metamorphic rock formed?
Changed by heat & pressure
5. List the particles from biggest to smallest in size : Clay, Sand, Silt
Sand, Silt, Clay

3. Accumulation
Runoff from hills and mountains accumulates (builds up) in lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Lakes, ponds, lagoons, reservoirs, etc.

4. Precipitation Any form of water that falls from the sky:
Rain, hail, snow, sleet, & freezing rain
Crystals/droplets group together until a cloud cant hold anymore & “precipitates” fall from the sky
Cold (below 32) = Snow
Warm (above 32) = Rain
Mix = Sleet, Hail

5. Condensation
Water vapor forms near the surface (warmer), it rises (gets colder), turns into tiny crystals & groups together
Clouds, fog, etc.

6. Runoff
Extra water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface
Can also flow and be collected underground as groundwater

7. Evaporation
When the heat from the sun warms up water (liquid) and turns it into water vapor (gas).

8. Transpiration
Plants, such as trees, take water from the soil, extra water pushed out through the leaves as water vapor (gas)
Helps keep plants cool in the same way that sweating keeps animals, such as humans, cool.

9. How does the Earth’s water cycle stay balanced?
The amount of precipitation that falls equals the amount of water that evaporates!
