Name the Sphere
This sphere includes all living things on Earth
Biosphere
When water evaporates from a lake, what spheres are interacting?
The hydrosphere (water) and the atmosphere (gas). The water evaporates from the lake and becomes part of the atmosphere.
Plants, trees, flowers, humans, animals are found in this sphere.
Biosphere
Which sphere?
Air pollution; These pollutants can be in the form of solid particles, liquid or gas that come from industries, cars and agriculture.
Atmosphere
Process plants use to harness sun's light to produce energy (food)
Photosynthesis
This sphere includes all of the water on Earth.
Hydrosphere
When a forest is on fire, what spheres are interacting?
Biosphere (trees and animals) and Atmosphere (air). The trees and animals are dying from the fire. The air is becoming filled with smoke.
Rock, dirt, and the inside of the Earth are in this sphere.
Lithosphere
Human demand for water has increased. To reach this demand, humans have turned to the modification of waterways, the construction of dams and levees and the desalination of sea water.
Hydrosphere
Can also be Lithosphere-changing waterways
About how much of the Earth is covered in water?
71%
This sphere is a thin layer of gas that surrounds Earth.
Atmosphere
A man is digging a hole in the ground to plant a tree. What spheres are interacting?
Lithosphere (rock) and Biosphere (human and tree)
Made up of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and CO2.
Also makes up the OZONE LAYER
Atomosphere
Lithium mining is the process of extracting lithium from the earth for use in tech devices, EV's, and other battery usage.
Lithosphere.
Can also be hydrosphere- large amounts of water used in the mining methods.
All water on earth is recycled through what?
The water cycle (Hydrologic cycle)
This sphere contains all the layers INSIDE Earth as well as the solid layer of Earth.
Lithosphere (Geosphere ok)
A bird drinking from a puddle includes what two spheres?
Biosphere (bird) and Hydrosphere (water)
Puddles, lakes, ocean, rivers make up this sphere
Hydrosphere
Climate change, ocean acidity, and pollution have all led to the decline in reefs around the world.
Biosphere
What is the gas that makes up 78% of the atmosphere?
Nitrogen
Name all the spheres and what they contain!
Biosphere - life
Atmosphere - air
Hydrosphere - water
Lithosphere - rock/land
What natural disaster effects all the spheres?
Flow-liquid metals and rock
Flow destroys trees and life in path
Explosion releases gases into the air and absorbed into the rain/water.
volcanic eruption
What is the most abundant type of water on Earth? What is the percentage?
Salt water- 97%
Earth’s spheres interact in many ways. What is one way that the hyrdosphere and biosphere interact?
Answers may vary
Watering the plants so that they are able to grow
Name the 3 main types of rocks in the rock cycle.
