Mantle, outer crust.
What makes up the geosphere?
Rocks and minerals.
What is the atmosphere mostly made up of?

What keeps the biosphere alive and running?
Nutrients, and energy from organisms
Where on earth is the hydrosphere?
Below, and above ground.
What are the plates making up the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates.
What happens when activity increases in the geosphere?
Mountains, ridges, valleys and peaks form under, and above ground.
What happens as atmospheric pressure decreases?
High wind, precipitation and cloud count.
Where does lost energy go in the biosphere?
Into plant and animal growth
Can the hyrdosphere be multiple states of matter?
Yes. It can be liquid vapor or ice.
What are the two parts of the lithosphere?
Oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere.
How can the movement underground affect weather climate?
As the rocks move they release, or trap heat energy and can affect climate.
How many layers is the atmosphere divided into?
What is a byproduct of photosynthesis?
Oxygen.
How does water move through the hydrosphere?
In cycles, rain, rivers etc..
Where does most activity in the lithosphere take place?
At tectonic plate boundaries.

Sedimentary rocks.
How far does the atmosphere stretch?
10,000 kilometers.
How long has the Biosphere existed?
3.5 billion years.
what is the name for the frozen part of the hydrosphere?
How are mountains formed relating the lithosphere?
Tectonic activity, as different tectonic plates move the brittle pieces form land.
What is metamorphism?
Metamorphism is the process in which different rock is processed into different forms and shapes.
