hydrosphere - all water on earth, geosphere - all the rocks and soil on earth, atmosphere - all gases that surround earth, biosphere - all living things on earth, precipitation - water that falls as rain, snow, sleet, or hail due to gravity, humans - animals and ________ breathe out carbon dioxide, condensation - water vapor (gas) changes into liquid water, evaporation - change of water from liquid to gas caused by sun, transpiration - when plants release water through leaves into air, collection - when water gathers in an area, like a pond or the ocean, photosynthesis - when plants use carbon dioxide to make sugar, respiration - process that releases carbon dioxide into air through breathing, fossilfuels - coal, oil, natural gas, formed by decomposed ancient plants and animals, weathering - process that breaks down rock, erosion - processs that moves rock, sun - this influences evaporation, transpiration and melting in the water cycle, igneous - rocks made of lava/magma that have cooled, sedimentary - rocks made of sediments that are compacted and cemented together, metamorphic - rocks that have changed through extreme heat and pressure, sediments - small, broken down pieces of rock such as sand or pebbles, melting - this turns solid rock into magma or lava, gravity - this influences runoff and precipitation in the water cycle,
