The water cycle, weather, erosion, deposition, and extreme natural
events involve interactions among air, water, and land.

2.1c Water is recycled by natural processes on Earth.
· Evaporation: changing of water into water vapor
· condensation: changing of water vapor into water
· Precipitation: rain, sleet, snow, hail
· runoff: water flowing on Earth’s surface
· ground water: water that moves downward into the ground
Water exists in different forms.
 

2.1d Erosion and deposition result from the interaction of air, water, and land.

• interaction between air and water breaks down earth materials

• pieces of earth material may be moved by air, water, wind, and gravity

• pieces of earth material will settle or deposit on land or in the water in different places

• soil is composed of broken down pieces of living and nonliving earth material
  
  Features on the earth’s surface are constantly changed by a
  combination of slow and rapid processes---

• Slow processes---components of the earth, core, mantle, crust,
  movement of earth’s plates, Pangaea, erosion, deposition, wind, water, ice

• Rapid processes----landslides volcanoes, earthquakes, natural
  disasters

  Rock cycle
  · rock is composed of different combinations of minerals
  · composition and properties of soils
  Fossils---rock records of the living things in the past

  
  2.1e Extreme natural events may have positive or negative impacts
  on living things.
