Name the Sphere
This sphere includes all living things on Earth
Bisophere
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?
A boy is throwing snowballs. What spheres are interacting?
Biosphere (boy) and hydrosphere (snowball)
This percentage of Earth's surface is covered with water.
around 70%
This sphere includes all of the water on Earth.
What is the 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.
nitrogen and oxygen are found in this sphere
What is the atmosphere?
A baby is sleeping soundly. What spheres are interacting?
Biosphere (baby) and Atmosphere (air)
There are this many layers in the atmosphere.
5
This sphere is a thin layer of gas that surrounds Earth.
What is the atmosphere?
During a volcano eruption, what spheres are interacting? Assume that there is a community that lives at the bottom of the volcano.
Geosphere (rock) and Atmosphere (air) Also, the Geosphere (rock) and Biosphere (humans). The volcano erupts and shoots lava and gases into the atmosphere. The lava pours down the volcano and can kill humans or animals in its path.
Rock, dirt, and the inside of the Earth are in this sphere.
What is the geosphere?
A man is digging a hole in the ground to plant a tree. What spheres are interacting?
Geosphere (ground) and Biosphere (human and tree)
This Earth sphere includes all the frozen water (ice) on Earth and most of it is in the north an south pole.
The Cryosphere
This sphere contains all the layers INSIDE Earth as well as the solid layer of Earth.
What is the geosphere?
There is a severe drought (lack of water) in the western United States. What spheres are interacting?
The geosphere (ground/rock) and biosphere (grass, crops). The ground would be so dry that vegetation wouldn't be able to grow. Also: the hydrosphere (water) and biosphere (land). The animals wouldn't have water to drink, so therefore they would die.
Puddles, lakes, ocean, rivers make up this sphere
What is the hydrosphere?
A child builds a sandcastle on the beach. What spheres are interacting?
Biosphere (child) and Geosphere (sand)
Most of the water on Earth is this type of water.
Hydrosphere-Water
Biosphere- Life
Atmosphere- Gases
Geosphere-Solid/Rock
Geosphere (ground) Biosphere (plants, flowers, trees) Atmosphere (air) Hydrosphere (water) The ground soaks up the rain water and plants are able to grow. Animals can drink from puddles or ponds. Some of the water is then evaporated back up into the air.
Biosphere and hydrosphere
An earthworm tunnels through the soil in a compost pile. What spheres are interacting?
Biosphere (Earthworm) and Geosphere (soil)
These are the 4 parts of the water cycle.
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff
