Geosphere
The earth system that is made up of land and has many layers.
What is the geosphere?
This is the layer of the atmosphere where we live and where weather happens.
What is the troposphere?
This is the term for all the water on Earth, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and glaciers.
What is the hydrosphere?
This is the part of Earth that includes all living things.
What is the biosphere?
IN each of the questions in this category you need to explain how each of the systems are impacted by the following event:
A volcanic eruption
(Doesn't need to follow the question response format.)
Geosphere-volcano, lava, and rocks
Atmosphere-air and ash clouds
Hydrosphere-water sources
Biosphere-impact on plants, animals, and humans
This is the outermost layer of the Earth where we live.
What is the crust?
This second layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer, which protects us from the Sun's harmful rays.
What is the stratosphere?
This is the largest body of water on Earth.
What is the Pacific Ocean?
These are the three things all living things need to survive.
What are air, water, and food?
IN each of the questions in this category you need to explain how each of the systems are impacted by the following event:
Snowstorm
(Doesn't need to follow the question response format.)
Atmosphere- cold air and snow clouds
Geosphere-land and structures
Biosphere- plants, animals, and humans adapt
Hydrosphere-frozen water, rivers, and lakes
This layer of the Earth is made of molten rock and flows beneath the crust.
What is the mantle?
This is the middle layer of the atmosphere where most meteors burn up.
What is the mesosphere?
Freshwater on Earth is mostly found in this frozen form.
What are glaciers or ice caps?
This is the term for an environment where a living thing naturally lives and grows.
What is a habitat?
IN each of the questions in this category you need to explain how each of the systems are impacted by the following event:
Hurricane
(Doesn't need to follow the question response format.)
Hydrosphere-ocean and rain
Atmosphere-wind and clouds
Geosphere-land and soil
Biosphere-people, animals, and plants prepare and respond
This layer is made mostly of liquid iron and nickel and surrounds the inner core.
What is the outer core?
This layer is the hottest and is where the auroras occur.
What is the thermosphere?
This is the term for water stored underground in soil and rock layers.
What is groundwater?
The biosphere interacts with this part of Earth, which includes rocks and soil.
What is the geosphere?
IN each of the questions in this category you need to explain how each of the systems are impacted by the following event:
Earthquake
(Doesn't need to follow the question response format.)
Geosphere-land and rocks
Biosphere-humans, plants, and animal response
Hydrosphere-rivers, lakes, or tsunamis
Atmosphere-air quality and dust
This solid layer at the center of the Earth is the hottest layer.
What is the inner core?
This outer layer of the atmosphere gradually fades into space.
What is the exosphere?
These are smaller bodies of flowing freshwater that usually flow into rivers.
What are streams?
This is the word for all the different kinds of plants and animals living in the biosphere.
What is biodiversity?
IN each of the questions in this category you need to explain how each of the systems are impacted by the following event:
Forest Fire
(Doesn't need to follow the question response format.)
Biosphere-plants, animals, and humans change during and after
Geosphere-soil and land
Atmosphere-smoke and gases
Hydrosphere-rivers and lakes
