Earth Spheres
This sphere represents all life here on Earth
Biosphere
Where, in the Earth layers, are convection currents located?
Mantle
Correct identify the order and names of all 8 planets in our Solar System.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Describe the Theory of Continental Drift
Where the supercontinent Pangea broke apart and shifted over time into the continents that we know of today
Which two organelles are ONLY found in Plant Cells?
Chloroplast and Cell Wall
These two spheres display the liquid and solid states of matter for water
Cryosphere and Hydrosphere
This plate boundary type results in Earthquakes due to the sudden slippages of the plates rubbing against one another.
Transform Boundary
Our 8 planets are divided into two categories.
Terrestrial and Jovian
Weather involves which two Earth Spheres?
Atmosphere and Hydrosphere
This organelle is known as the bouncer because it lets certain materials in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
Based on the California Wildfires, which two spheres are affected the MOST? Why?
Provide a short explanation for both spheres.
Biosphere- Animals, Plants, and habitats affected
Atmosphere- Increase of air pollution
When discussing Seafloor Spreading, which plate boundary type would cause this? Why?
Divergent- plates are moving away from each other (spreading apart)
Put the following items into the correct organizational system from smallest to largest:
Solar System, Universe, Planets, Galaxy
Planets, Solar System, Galaxy, Universe
Gas Giants- Jupiter and Saturn
Ice Giants- Uranus and Neptune
This body system is in charge of removing excess waste such as urine and sweat from our body to help us maintain Homeostasis
Excretory System
Which 3 Earth Spheres are involved when growing an Apple Tree?
Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere
Explain what plate boundary type is responsible for mountains forming. Be sure to include how the mountain is formed- be specific!
Convergent boundaries are responsible for mountains- two continental plates collide together and push upward.
If we were to place the Sun into our organization system, where would we place it and why?
Between planets and solar system- bigger than a planet since they revolve around the Sun, but the Sun is found inside of the Solar System
Our solar system is located in which galaxy in the Universe?
Milky Way Galaxy
Ringworm is a fungus that lives on the skin of humans. The fungus irritates the skin of the host.
Which relationship is being described?
Parasitism
During hurricanes, our Florida Beaches can experience storm surge. Storm surge floods the beach areas causing soil erosion. Which two spheres would be interacting in this scenario.
Geosphere and Hydrosphere
Describe the main reason why lithospheric plates move.
Convection currents in the mantle
Out of the following astronomical bodies, which do you feel would be the biggest and which would be the smallest?
Dwarf planets, comets, and asteroids.
Dwarf planets- biggest
Comets- smallest
When one plate goes underneath another, this is known as what?
Subduction
The shrimp digs a hole that provides shelter for itself and the goby fish. The goby fish lives at the opening to the hole and watches for predators. When a predator swims by, both organisms quickly move farther into the hole for safety.
Which of the following best describes the relationship between these two organisms?
Mutualism
