Spheres of the Earth & Beyond
This sphere includes all of the liquid water and solid ice found on a planet.
What is the Hydrosphere
This is an answer you propose to solve a scientific question.
What is a claim?
100 Points: Mountains, canyons, and sand dunes are all examples of this.
What is a land form.
This sphere consists of the mixture of gases that surround a planet.
What is the Atmosphere.
This is the information used by scientists to either support or refute a claim.
What is evidence?
200 Points: This type of scientist specifically researches rock formations on Mars.
This sphere encompasses the solid, rocky parts of a planet.
What is the Geosphere?
Scientists use evidence to determine if a claim is supported or if it needs to undergo this action.
What is changed, (or revised)?
This long, narrow groove can be carved out by flowing liquid water.
What is a channel?
This sphere is made up of all living organisms on Earth.
What is the Biosphere?
This simpler diagram or simulation helps scientists visualize complex things more easily
What is a model?
This type of process is responsible for changing the geosphere by creating or altering landforms.
What is a geologic process?
If a planet has water and gases surrounding it, these are the two specific spheres interacting.
What are the Hydrosphere and Atmosphere?
500 Points: A model helps planetary geologists study Mars because it allows them to do this instead of studying the entire planet at once.
What is make things easier to see and understand?
500 Points: Name two specific landforms mentioned in your text that can be created or changed by geologic processes.
What are mountains and channels?
