Wind, rain, snow, sun, mother nature, vegetation, etc. 

200

Tell me 2 Sphere Interactions and provide an example of items within those interactions.

1998

Evaporation! Condensation! Precipitation is when it pours. 

300

What can cause a landslide?

A large amount of water in a small amount of time, and/or weathering and erosion. 

300

Tell me all the spheres and an item that belongs to each of them.

Atmosphere: Air, Cloud, Wind, Gases, etc.

Hydrosphere: Rain, Snow, Ice, all forms of water on earth.

Biosphere: All living things

Geosphere: Rocks, Mountains, landforms, dirt, sand, soil, etc. 

300

Mrs. McMullin likes cookies or ice cream more?

Ice cream 

400

Why do many earthquakes occur in California?

California is near the ocean, along a plate boundary, and within a mountain range. 

400

What is water that you can not see?

Water in living things, ground water, evaporation, water vapor, etc. 

400

How can you prevent a hillside from weathering/erosion?

Plant vegetation, install a retaining wall, use mulch to absorb the moisture and not the ground. 

400

Sing the 4 spheres song and do the correct actions. 

Atmosphere...Hydrosphere...Biosphere....GE O Sphere!

What did Mrs. McMullin originally want to be when she grew up?

Veterinarian and decided later on that she wanted to be a Teacher.

Tell me two facts about a map key.

A map key explains the meaning of features and colors on a map. It helps us to understand key features on a map. 

500

What is the percentage of ocean water vs. fresh water? 

96% is ocean water and 4% is freshwater?

500
How can weathering occur at a quicker rate?

Continuous and increased wind, rain, and sun. Freezing and thawing happening at a quicker rate. 

500

How might the Geosphere interact with the Hydrosphere?

Example: Snow collects on mountains and runs of the mountains to provide water to all living things. Soil absorbs water.

500

If Mrs. McMullin could buy anything in the world what would it be? 

A beautiful home on a large piece of land.
