Name the 4 earth systems and one word to describe each one
What is Atmosphere(air), Geosphere(land/soil), Hydrosphere(water), Biosphere (life)
These are the layers of the Earth.
What is crust, mantle, outer core, inner core?
What is the troposphere?
This step of the water cycle is when rain falls as rain, snow, sleet, hail.
What is precipitation?
How can humans affect the biosphere?
Deforestation, building homes in habitats
Humans are a part of this sphere
What is biosphere
This layer of the earth is made of solid rock.
What is the crust?
