Earth Systems 1
This sphere that controls all the earth's water - gas, liquid or solid.
What is the Hydrosphere?
Mt. Everest and a desert are parts of this System.
What is the Geosphere?
The layer of the Earth on which humans live.
What is the crust?
The coolest layer of Earth's layers
What is the crust?
This is the process by which water is conserved on Earth
What is the water cycle?
This system that controls all the Earth's mass in the form of rocks, soil, and metals.
What is the Geosphere?
a muddy puddle after a rain shower shows the interaction of these 2 Earth spheres
What is the Geosphere and Atmosphere?
More than half of Earth's freshwater is stored here
What is underground?
This system is a mixture of gasses that surround earth
What is the atmosphere?
Waves crashing on a beach is an example of these two systems interacting
What are the hydrospheres and geospheres?
This Earth system that controls the air we breathe, the wind and the weather.
What is the Atmosphere?
Snow falling on the grass represents the interactions of these Earth Systems
What is hydrosphere and biosphere?
The four layers of our Earth.
What is the Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core?
These things cause the movement of the earth's surface from deep in the mantle
What is Magma/Convection/Earthquake?
Clouds are part of these two systems
What are the atmosphere and the hydrosphere?
The Earth's system that controls all living things.
What is the Biosphere?
The Earth Systems that are affected by a volcano's eruption
What is the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere?
The largest layer of the Earth located between the core and the crust
What is the mantle?
97% of the hydrosphere is this type of water
What is salt water?
This is when clouds rain, snow, or hail from the atmosphere
What is precipitation?
The four systems of the Earth.
What are the:
Hydrosphere, Biosphere , Geosphere and Atmosphere?
The earth's systems that are affected when a portion of a cliff breaks off and falls into the ocean
What is the biosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere?
The most dense and most pressurized layer of the Earth located about 6,300 KM beneath the surface.
What is the inner core?
The 2 factors that are greater at the Earth's core than it's crust or surface
What is density and pressure?
This happens when water vapor turns into liquid water (often happens in clouds, but also can happen on the outside of your cold cup!)
What is "condensation"?
