C) Rocks
D) Fish
What is the main purpose of conservation?
To preserve natural habitats.
Which of the following is NOT part of the hydrosphere? Water Vapour, Lakes, Forests, ponds
Forests
How do tectonic plates relate to the geosphere?
They are large sections of the Earth's crust that move and can cause earthquakes.
What role does oxygen play in the atmosphere?
It is essential for the respiration of most living organisms.
What is the biosphere?
life on Earth
regions of Earth where life is supported
Name one way to conserve energy.
By using energy efficient appliances, turning off lights, not running water, others?
Describe one way humans can protect the hydrosphere.
By reducing pollution in water sources.
Explain how the geosphere supports life on Earth.
It creates habitats and resources to support plant life
Explain how human activities impact the atmosphere. Think pollution
Activities such as burning fossil fuels increase greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change.

It provides essential water for drinking, agriculture, and ecosystems.
Describe the composition of the lithosphere.
It is made up of rocks, soil, and minerals.
Describe how the atmosphere affects weather.
It contains gases that interact with solar energy, influencing temperature and precipitation.

What is recycling, and why is it important for conservation?
Recycling is processing materials to make new products, reducing waste and conserving resources.
What is the water cycle?
The process of water moving from the ground to the atmosphere and back again, including evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
What is the significance of soil in the lithosphere?
Soil supports plant life and is essential for agriculture (farming).
Which gas is most abundant in Earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen
Discuss how the biosphere interacts with the lithosphere.
Plants grow in soil
Explain how conservation helps combat climate change.
It reduces greenhouse gas emissions and preserves ecosystems that absorb carbon dioxide
