Spheres 1
What gases in the atmosphere is used in the biosphere?
Oxygen and Carbon dioxide.
What is the biosphere?
Living things.
What sphere does an iceberg belong too?
Hydrosphere
What sphere does the wombat belong too?
The biosphere
Volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, or earthquakes can all change two spheres:
A. Lithosphere and Biosphere
B: Hydrosphere and Lithosphere
C: Atmosphere and Hydrosphere
A: the lithosphere and biosphere
What sphere contains water?
Hydrosphere
What is hydrosphere?
This sphere includes all the liquid water on earth (oceans, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and glaciers).
Also known as the geosphere, this sphere consists of rocks and minerals.
lithosphere
Scientists say many of the gases in our atmosphere were ejected into the air by early volcanoes. True or false?
true
What sphere was fossil fuels once a part of?
Biosphere
What is atmosphere?
The prefix of this sphere means air.
What 2 sphere interact with the biosphere?
Hydrosphere - drinking
Atmosphere - breathing
Describe why Earth’s spheres can be described as overlapping.
Because they are interconnected and constantly interact, meaning processes in one sphere affect others
What important cycle shows the movement of water through the hydrosphere?
the water cycle
Mrs Cusack is walking down the sidewalk & the wind is blowing her hair. Which parts of the Earth system are interacting?
A.hydrosphere and geosphere
B.atmosphere and biosphere
C.cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere
D.geosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere
B atmosphere & biosphere
What is lithosphere?
The soil, rock, mountains etc on Earth.
Largest sphere and contains all life.
biosphere
The atmosphere is an undefined boundary between Earth & outer space. What is the atmosphere?
A.The layer of all gases surrounding Earth
B.The layer above the Earth that contains ozone
C.The layer above Earth where weather happens
D.The layer above earth that is responsible for gravity
A The layer of all gases surrounding Earth.
The layer that gives us natural resources (such as coal) and a place to grow food.
the lithosphere
Human beings are overfishing oceans. Overfishing is catching unwanted sea life while trying to find specific sea animals such as tuna. Nets are cast to catch the tuna, but small fish, sea turtles, crabs and dolphins may also be caught. These animals wind up hurt or dead in the process. Which two spheres are being impacted?
A. Lithosphere and Biosphere B. Atmosphere and Biosphere C. Biosphere and Hydrosphere
C: biosphere and hydrosphere
List all 4 spheres
Biosphere Hydrosphere Lithosphere and Atmosphere
Explain the effects of earthquakes on the lithosphere.
Movement can create or modify geological features such as mountain ranges and ocean trenches, and cause changes in elevation.
Percentage of water on Earth that is drinkable for humans and most animals (fresh water).
3%

A. Biosphere
B. Atmosphere
C. Geosphere
D. Lithosphere
E. Hydrosphere
A: Biosphere
Mrs Cusack is at the beach watching the waves. Which of these parts of the Earth system interacts with the hydrosphere to produce the waves at the beach?
