| Process by which heat is trapped in the atmosphere by water vapor and other gases that form a "blanket" around Earth? | Greenhouse Effect |
| Transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that is touching. | Conduction |
| Transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid? | Convection |
| Touching a hot iron is an example of what type of heat transfer? | Conduction |
| Soaking up the sun's rays on the beach is an example of what type of heat transfer? | Radiation |

| Precipitation made up of droplets of water? | Rain |
| Precipitation that is liquid in the air but freezes when it hits a cold surface? | Freezing Rain |
| Precipitatin that is completely frozen in crystal form? | Snow |
| Precipitation that occurs at below freezing temperatures and looks like ice pellets? | Sleet |
| Precipitation that may occur during a thunderstorm during hotter temperatures that looks like ice pellets? | Hail |
| What is the water cycle? | Surface Runoff – water runs off the surface or moves through the ground back into oceans, lakes, and streams. 2. Evaporation – water molecules escape into the air as water vapor. 3. Condensation – water vapor in the atmosphere condenses to form clouds. 4. Precipitation – any form of water that falls from the clouds. 5. Radiation – heat from the sun. |
