Human Activity
This is gas that humans exhale that is harmful to the environment.
What is carbon dioxide?
The hydrosphere covers the majority of Earth with this natural resource
What is water?
Hydrosphere helps do this on Earth.
What is support life?
Acid rain effects this type of water source for both humans and animals.
What is freshwater?
What are lakes?
Humans build this structure in rivers which cause many ecosystems not get the water they need to survive.
What are dams?
The hydrosphere is made of these places on earth.
What are oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, ponds, and streams
This big body of water is very important for the hydrosphere.
What is the ocean?
The ocean is very important because its able to redistribute this and regulate that.
What is heat and temperature?
This big ball of fire in the sky is the driving force in how water evaporates into the atmosphere
What is the sun?
Humans contributions to this type of gas in the atmosphere, is increasing the evaporation of surface water.
What is greenhouse gas?
This form of water in the hydrosphere falls from the sky as rain, snow, or hail.
What is precipitation?
This important part of the hydrosphere is greatly affected by the emissions of carbon dioxide.
There has been some evidence that this event is responsible for the more extreme precipitation event.
What is global warming?
This is a flowing body of freshwater that moves towards a lake, sea, or ocean.
What is a river?
As humans contribute more to global warming, the ocean will also get warmer and cause this to happen.
What is high sea levels?
The hydrologic cycle moves and exchanges warm water to the poles to help regulate this.
What is the temperature of Earth?
The Hydrosphere has a special name for its frozen parts in the north and south pole that's another name for ice
What is cryosphere?
With the Earth becoming warmer, precipitation can cause this distribution to change.
What is rainfall?
This is the process where the gas form of water cools and changes back into a liquid form.
What is condensation?
With humans releasing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides back into the atmosphere, it creates this type of harmful rain.
What is acid rain?
This is the process where the sun heats up water and turns into a gas form that rises up into the sky.
What is evaporation?
Not only is the Hydrosphere made up of water, it's also made up of some "impurities", like this harmful substance that comes from factories and cars.
What is pollution?
These three items contributions to the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere.
What is coal, oil, and gas?
When water collects in the clouds and falls to the Earth has either snow or rain, and starts all over again, it's called this action.
What is the water cycle?
