How does air circulate around Earth's surface?
Air circulates around Earth's surface through a process called atmospheric circulation. This occurs due to the temperature differences between the equator and the poles, creating pressure systems that drive winds. The rotation of the Earth also influences the direction of these winds through the Coriolis effect.
What resembles large chunks of rock and debris?
Asteroids and meteoroids are large chunks of rock and debris that resemble large chunks of rock in space. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere, they are called meteors or meteorites depending on whether they burn up or make contact with the surface.
What term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids are the small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth's atmosphere. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere and create a streak of light, they are referred to as meteors. If a meteor survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite.
What process circulates water through the atmosphere to the earth and back to the atmosphere?
The process is called the water cycle. It involves evaporation of water from oceans and other water bodies, condensation into clouds, precipitation as rain or snow, and runoff that eventually returns water back to the oceans or enters groundwater. This continuous cycle ensures water circulates from the atmosphere to the Earth and back.
The spinning of the earth around its axis is called?
The spinning of Earth around its axis is called rotation

Why does the earth get earth quakes?
The earth's crust is divided up into big chunks, and these chunks are essentially what we live on today. in between the chunks, where one meets another, there are lines running through the ground. These are called fault lines. Now, because the mantle is just molten lava, the crust just moves along as it pleases. When two chunks float around and rub up against one another, this causes vibrations on the fault lines. This also causes the ground to move and shake, what we call an earthquake :) Hope this helped
Process by which carbon circulates around the earth as plant remove carbon from the atmosphere and animals add carbon to the atmosphere?
carboncycle
What are large chunks of earths crust called?
Large chunks of Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and are responsible for movements like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.

The carbon cycle
What os the earth's path around the sun called?
Earth's path around the Sun is called Earth's Orbit.

Why is the moon called the satellite of the earth?
The moon is called a satellite of earth because it revolves around the earth
What do you call when chunks of earth move?
Pangea hope this helps.
When the earth travels once around the sun what is that called?
When the earth goes around the sun it is called a orbit
How come the earth is correctly going around its orbit?
Barring any horrific cataclysm, it is impossible for it to do otherwise. It is doing what planets do under the influence of their star's gravity. Even if the earth were blown into boulder-sized chunks, the chunks would do whatever is natural for them to do in response to gravity and the other forces acting upon them.
