Layer of the atmosphere that has the ozone layer.
What is Stratosphere layer?
The atmosphere is divided into 4 layers. Which layer is where weather happens? A.The mesosphere B.The stratosphere C.The thermosphere D.The troposphere
What is D? The troposphere
Volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, or earthquakes can all change two spheres:
A. Lithosphere and Biosphere B: Hydrosphere and Cryosphere C: Atmosphere and Hydrosphere
What is A: the lithosphere and biosphere?
71%
What is the percentage of the earth's surface covered in water?
This sphere includes all the liquid water on earth (oceans, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and glaciers).
What is hydrosphere?
What is lithosphere?
Scientists say many of the gases in our atmosphere were ejected into the air by early volcanoes. True or false?
What is true?
Movement of sediment, small pieces of weathered rock, by gravity, water, wind and ice.
What is erosion?
What is atmosphere?
Earth is composed of four distinct layers which are all a part of the lithosphere. Name the layers from deepest to shallowest.
What is inner core, outer core, mantle and crust?
The frozen part of Earth's hydrosphere made of ice (includes: glaciers, ice caps and icebergs).
What is the cryosphere?
What important cycle shows the movement of water through the hydrosphere?
What is the water cycle?
Ms. Reed is walking down the sidewalk & the wind is blowing her hair. Which parts of the Earth system are interacting?
A.hydrosphere and geosphere B.atmosphere and biosphere C.cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere D.geosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere
What is B? atmosphere & biosphere
The layer of the atmosphere where weather takes place…
What is troposphere?
Largest sphere and contains all life.
What is the biosphere?
The atmosphere is an undefined boundary between Earth & outer space. What is the atmosphere? A.The layer of all gases surrounding Earth B.The layer above the Earth that contains ozone C.The layer above Earth where weather happens D.The layer above earth that is responsible for gravity
What is A? The layer of all gases surrounding Earth.
The layer that gives us natural resources (such as coal) and a place to grow food.
What is the lithosphere?
Human beings are overfishing oceans. Overfishing is catching unwanted sea life while trying to find specific sea animals such as tuna. Nets are cast to catch the tuna, but small fish, sea turtles, crabs and dolphins may also be caught. These animals wind up heard or dead in the process. Which two spheres are being impacted?
A. Lithosphere and Biosphere B. Atmosphere and Biosphere C. Biosphere and Hydrosphere
What is C: biosphere and hydrosphere?
List all 4 spheres
What is Biosphere Hydrosphere Lithosphere and Atmosphere ?
Name the five layers of the atmosphere from closest to the earth's surface to furthest away:
What is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere?
Percentage of water on Earth that is drinkable for humans and most animals (fresh water).
What is 3%?
Different ecological communities are divided into six main biomes: desert, aquatic, forest, grasslands, tundra and scrub. What sphere would we find these biomes in?
A. Biosphere B. Atmosphere C. Cyrosphere D. Lithosphere E. Hydrosphere
What is A: Biosphere
Ms.Moorhead is at the beach watching the waves. Which of these parts of the Earth system interacts with the hydrosphere to produce the waves at the beach?
A. biosphere B. geosphere C. cryosphere D. atmosphere
What is D? Atmosphere
