Earth's Spheres
The four spheres of earth.
What are the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere
Rain makes plants grow.
What are the biosphere and hydrosphere?
The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces.
What is weathering?
What are ashes and gases?
The ocean has disappeared
This sphere includes all living things.
What is the biosphere
A volcano erupts, releasing gases into the air.
What is the geosphere and atmosphere
When wind or water moves pieces of rock and soil
What is erosion?
After a flood, there are two things living things need that can be affected.
What are habitats and food sources?
The atmosphere has no oxygen
What is living things wouldn't be able to breath/can't survive
This sphere includes all of the water on earth.
What is the hydrosphere?
A hurricane causes flooding which destroys homes.
What is the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere
A river carries away pieces of rock over time.
What is erosion?
Volcanic eruptions affect the hydrosphere.
What is pollution/polluting the rivers, lakes, oceans etc
there is no weathering or erosion.
What is landforms would stay the same/no new soil would form?
What is the geosphere?
A strong wind carries away soil.
What is the atmosphere and geosphere?
A rock breaks apart due to freezing water expanding in its cracks.
What is physical weathering?
When too many greenhouse gases are released into the air, this happens.
What is warming up the earth/affecting the climate and ecosystems (living things)
The biosphere doesn't interact with the hydrosphere/
What is no water for plants or animals to survive?
This sphere contains the air we breathe.
What is the atmosphere?
A tree absorbs water and releases oxygen into the air.
Acid rain reacts with limestone, making it wear away.
What is chemical weathering?
Volcanic eruptions can sometimes cool the planet this way.
What is ash blocking the sunlight, lowering temperatures
All greenhouse gases are removed.
What is earth becoming too cold to support life?
