Definition1/17
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and
surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner
layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the
Earth.

🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/17
Most water is in the troposphere, the lowest level of the
atmosphere. This is the layer that contains most clouds, and almost
all of our weather. Trace amounts of water vapor, often in the form
of ice crystals, exists in the second layer, the stratosphere. If
you have ever seen a "sun dog" or a "ring around the Sun", these
are caused by ice crystals in the stratosphere.

All forms of water that fall from the clouds are called
precipitation. Precipitation includes things like rain, snow, hail
and sleet. It is caused when water trapped in the clouds is
released due to an inability to keep it floating.
