Atmosphere
It is this layer that you would find the auroras.
What is the Thermosphere?
This is where oceanic or marine life concentrated.
What is the sunlit surfaces of the sea?
The cryosphere is an integral part of this major issue facing our world today.
What is climate change/ global warming?
These are the names given to the two outermost layers of the Earth.
What are oceanic and continental crust?
These are three areas where liquid water are found on Earth.
What are oceans, streams, lakes, aquifers, wells, and rivers?
It is this layer that is the least studied due to it's density.
What is the Mesosphere?
This is the maximum height insects or birds are found in the atmosphere.
What is 1 km above the surface?
This is one way the cryosphere interacts with the hydrosphere.
Answers will vary: Ex. What are the nutrients found in the glaciers give the sea water more nutrients, feeding organisms that live in the ocean.
This layer of the Earth is solid and strong due to the immense pressure it is under.
What is the inner core?
This is another form of water that is part of the hydrosphere.
What is water vapor?
This layer of gas protects the Earth from 51% of the Sun's dangerous UV rays.
What is the Ozone?
This is what provides nutrients for exotic oceanic life at the bottom of the ocean.
What are deep sea vents?
These are at least two ways water is found frozen in the cryosphere.
What are glaciers, polar ice caps, frozen mountaintops, ice bergs and snow?
This is the name given to the separation line between the crust and the mantle.
What is the MOHO discontinuity?
This is one process of the hydrologic cycle that puts water from the ground back into the air.
What is transpiration or evaporation?
These man-made objects fly in the Exosphere and give us huge amounts of information and data.
What are satellites?
These are three locations extreme bacteria can live on land.
What are hot springs, caves, and sulfur pits?
This is one way the cryosphere interacts with the geosphere.
Answers may vary: Ex. What is the glaciers moving slowly across the ground reshaping every part of the land they pass over?
This is how you might describe the layer of the Earth that is approximately 1552-1602 miles thick.
WHat is very hot, strong, and capable of gradual flow?
This is the process of water soaking into the ground via the power of gravity.
What is percolation?
These are the two most abundant gases in our atmosphere. (Within the Troposphere)
What are nitrogen and oxygen?
This is one interaction of the biosphere that changes any of the other spheres.
Answers will vary: ex. beavers create dams that create different water flows.
DAILY DOUBLE!!!! This question is worth 1000 pts.
This statement is true or false -
Parts of the cryosphere have been melting at a rate higher than every before recorded in Earth's history.
What is true?
This liquid layer creates the magnetic field that protects the Earth from solar flares.
What is the outer core?
TRIPLE POINT PLAY !!!!!
This question is worth 1500 points!!!! It MUST be answered correctly.
This is the point at which a liquid (such as water) can both boil and freeze.
What is "The Triple Point"?
