100
List the four spheres of Earth
Hydrosphere- liquid water
Cryosphere- frozen water
Biosphere- all living organisms
Geosphere- rock and metal
100
What three landforms might you see in the state of Florida
Coastlines, dunes (sand), rivers
100
Why has the total amount of water in the water cycle remained constant all these years?
The rate of precipitation and evaporation are in balance.
200
What is the relationship between the hydrosphere and cryosphere?
The cryosphere (frozen water) is part of the hydrosphere (liquid water)
200
What landform would be seen if we flew an airplane from the coastline of Florida to Massachusetts?
Costal plain
200
TRUE or FALSE
Abyssal plains are only found under the sea/ocean
TRUE
300
If the hydrosphere reduced rainfall, what would happen to the biosphere?
Reduced food (reduced water would not allow the food/plants to grow)
300
Draw what the top of each picture would like using contour lines
300
wha
ICE/glaciers
400
In way(s) can water be a destructive force
Erosion of landforms (breaking them down), flooding
400
How would the effects of forest fires impact the 4 spheres (hydro, cryo, bio, & geo)
Hydro - deplete the water source (dry it up)
Cryo- melt the frozen ice
Bio- kill of living organisms
Geo- move/erode rocks
400
How can the geosphere and biosphere add water to the water cycle
Water evaporates the land soil, animals breathe, plants breathe
500
Draw and label the steps of the water cycle.
See boards:
Condensation: Up in the clouds until it gets heavy to fall
Precipitation: Falling from clouds
Evaporation: Water "evaporating" up towards the sky
500
List all 4 spheres, and how you interact with them on a daily basis.
Hydrosphere- drink liquid water, bathe, etc.
Biosphere- eat food, interact with animals/people, etc.
Cryosphere- Using ice in your tea
Geosphere- building a fort with rocks, throwing rocks, using something with metal, etc.
500
TRUE or FALSE
Valley's are found both on Earth's surface and under the sea (ocean)
TRUE
