____________________1. Its is a very important natural resource on earth that is made up of tiny particles of rocks,
decayed plants and animals.
____________________2. It helps keep the earth’s climate from getting too hot or too cold, 97% of this is found in
the world’s seas and oceans
____________________3. It is the blanket of air that surrounds the earth.
____________________4. Its particles are packed together and is sticky when wet and has the finest texture.
____________________5. It is a mixture of sand and clay.
____________________6. Its particles are coarse and loose.
____________________7. This is the uppermost layer of the soil that is rich with organic materials called humus and
minerals needed for plant growth.
____________________8. It is located just below the topsoil that is composed of loosely arranged rocks, sand, and
clay.
____________________9. Its composed of rocks that are breaking apart and does not contain necessary nutrients and
water needed for plant growth.
____________________10. This the lowest of the layers of the soil and is made up of undisturbed large boulders and
gravel.
____________________11. It refers to the things, materials or conditions that remain constant or the same in the
experiment.
____________________12. This refers to things, materials or conditions that are varied or changed in the experiment.
____________________13. It refers to the things, materials or conditions that respond to the changes.
____________________14. It is the breaking down of rocks into smaller particles.
____________________15. It contains plenty of salt and is found in the seas and oceans.
____________________16. It is found in open but small bodies of water like rivers, lakes, creeks, and ponds.
____________________17. It is safe and considered the cleanest water and contains plenty of dissolved minerals the
human body needs.
____________________18. It covers ¾ of the earth’s surface and is made up of water.
____________________19. It is used to measure air temperature.
____________________20. He invented the temperature scale based on 0° for the freezing point of water and 100° for
the boiling point of water.
____________________21. He invented a temperature scale based on 32° for the freezing point of water and 212° for
the boiling point of water.
____________________22. It is the hotness or coldness of air around a certain area.
____________________23. It is a device that tells the direction of the wind.
____________________24. This is the direction from which the wind is blowing.
____________________25. It is a device that measures the speed of wind.
____________________26. It tells about weather components that determine the weather condition at any given time.
____________________27. It is a report that gives accurate data on air temperature, wind speed, and direction and the
sky condition.
____________________28. It refers to how fast the wind blows and is usually expressed in kilometer per hour.
____________________29. It is the closest star to earth and is the main source of heat and light.
____________________30. It is the “food making” process that plants undergo.
____________________31. It is a continuous process of changing liquid water into gas (water vapor) when heated
and back to liquid water when cooled.
____________________32. It is the process of changing liquid water into gas (water vapor).
____________________33. It is the process of by which plants release water from the leaves.
____________________34. it is the process of by which humans and animals give off water particles when they
perspire during the process of taking in and out of air.
____________________35. It is the process of changing water vapor (gas) into liquid water.
____________________36. It is the process by which the condensed water falls back on the earth’s surface.
____________________37. It is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight that can burn or harm the skin.
