Evaporation and condensation
first it has to evaporate off the earths surface and go to the clouds.
Snow, hail, rain,fog and mist
Many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface in rock form
all ofthe changes on earth surface occur slowly
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
Before precipitation can fall to Earth's surface, water vapor in the atmosphere must condense and form clouds. Once the clouds reach a point where they can no longer hold the condensed water, precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail will fall to the surface.
The first layer of the Earth's atmosphere is called the troposphere, and it is in direct contact with the Earth's surface. This layer is where weather events occur and where most of the Earth's clouds and precipitation are found. Temperature usually decreases with altitude in the troposphere.
The lowest layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth's surface is the troposphere. It extends from the surface up to an average altitude of about 8 to 15 kilometers, varying according to location and season. The troposphere is where the majority of weather phenomena occur, including clouds, precipitation, and temperature changes.
material is hotter and denser
most times earthquakes occur
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
