Earth Systems 1
This sphere that controls all the earth's water - gas, liquid or solid.
What is the Hydrosphere?
Mt. Everest and a desert are parts of this System.
What is the Geosphere?
The layer of the Earth on which humans live.
What is the crust?
The coolest layer of Earth's layers
What is the crust?
Processes that cause the Earth's surface to build up
What are constructive forces?
This system that controls all the Earth's mass in the form of rocks, soil, and metals.
What is the Geosphere?
a muddy puddle after a rain shower shows the interaction of these 2 Earth spheres
What is the Geosphere and Atmosphere?
The melted metal types that make up the outer core of the Earth
What is Iron and Nickel?
Responsible for most of the heat transferred from Earth to the Atmosphere
What is the Convection Cycle?
Earthquakes, landslides, weathering and erosion are examples of this type force
What is a Destructive force?
This Earth system that controls the air we breathe, the wind and the weather.
What is the Atmosphere?
Snow falling on the grass represents the interactions of these Earth Systems
What is hydrosphere and biosphere?
The four layers of our Earth.
What is the Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core?
These things cause the movement of the earth's surface from deep in the mantle
What is Magma, Convection, Earthquake?
A type of force that destroys or breaks down landforms on the surface of the Earth
What is a destructive force?
The Earth's system that controls all living things.
What is the Biosphere?
The Earth Systems that are affected by a volcano's eruption
What is the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere?
The largest layer of the Earth located between the core and the crust
What is the mantle?
The bottom to top movement of magma, thick, hot, flowing rock, that results from differences in temperature
What is Convection?
Sediment deposits, tectonic movements and volcanos are examples
What is Constructive?
The four systems of the Earth.
What are the:
Hydrosphere, Biosphere , Geosphere and Atmosphere?
The earth's systems that are affected when a portion of a cliff breaks off and falls into the ocean
What is the biosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere?
The most dense and most pressurized layer of the Earth located about 6,300 KM beneath the surface.
What is the inner core?
The 2 factors that are greater at the Earth's core than it's crust or surface
What is density and pressure?
Volcano is an example
What is Constructive AND Destructive forces?
