What sphere contains water?
Hydrosphere

parts that make up a whole
What sphere makes up 70% of Earth's surface?

What does "atmo" mean?
The prefix of this sphere means air.
What 2 sphere interact with the biosphere in order for it to survive?
Hydrosphere - drinking
Atmosphere - breathing
Describe why Earth’s spheres can be described as overlapping.

What important cycle shows the movement of water through the hydrosphere and extends into the atmosphere?
the water cycle

What is lithosphere?
The soil, rock, mountains etc on Earth.

underwater - hydrosphere
volcano - geosphere
Atmosphere - the gas
What is the atmosphere?

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
