Describe what the rock cycle is.
a process or cycle that models how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock change over time when different things are applied (heat, pressure, cooling down).

D. 2.5% salt water, 97.5% fresh water
C. 2.5% fresh water, 97.5% salt water
How can a volcanic eruption affect weather patterns?
A. It is likely to be hotter on the side of the volcano near the ocean.
B. It is likely to rain more on the side of the volcano near the ocean.
C. It is likely to be sunnier on the side of the volcano near the ocean.
D. It is likely to be windier on the side of the volcano near the ocean.
B. It is likely to rain more on the side of the volcano near the ocean.
How can the hydrosphere affect the rock cycle?
Water can cool lava to form rock.
Water can weather rocks and turn them into sediment.
Water can erode rock.
Water can compress sediment into a sedimentary rock.
Which unit would you use to measure an oceanic trench's depth?
A. kilometers
B. centimeters
C. inches
A. kilometers
During the water cycle, through which processes do the hydrosphere and atmosphere interact? select all that apply.
A. evaporation
B. condensation
C. precipitation
D. groundwater
A. evaporation
B. condensation
C. precipitation
A student is making a model of how the atmosphere and biosphere interact. Which model best shows this?
A. a diagram of animals eating plants
B. a diagram of animals drinking water
C. a diagram of plants decaying into the ground
D. a diagram of plants giving off carbon dioxide
D. a diagram of plants giving off carbon dioxide
Which statement compares the amount of surface fresh water found in different locations?
A. The volume of ice and snow is greater than the volume of lakes.
B. The volume of ice and snow is greater than the volume of groundwater.
C. The volume of rivers and wetlands is greater than the volume of lakes.
D. The volume of rivers and wetlands is greater than the volume of oceans.
A. The volume of ice and snow is greater than the volume of lakes.
How do the different parts of the rock cycle come together to form a cycle?
Rocks break down by weathering and can then be compressed to form a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure the sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic rock. when sed. rock or met. rock are melted and then cooled, they become igneous rock.
How is acid rain a cause of atmosphere and hydrosphere interacting?
When evaporation and condensation occur, the water vapor mixes with the carbon dioxide and other gases given off by burning fossil fuels. When precipitation occurs, this rain is then called acid rain.
How does a volcanic eruption affect all 4 of Earth's sphere (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere)?
Ash and gases given off by the volcano will mix with water vapor and affect the hydrosphere in the form of acid rain and will also be put into the atmosphere. Lava can kill plant life and animals around the eruption. Volcanic eruptions can affect the geosphere by creating new rocks through the rock cycle.
