Biosphere
The biosphere is made of it.
What is living organisms?
The geosphere is constructed of many layers of this
What is sediment/rocks ?
also what is solid Earth
The hydrosphere is the movment and inclusion of what molecule across the Earth
What is water or H2O
The atmosphere is special because it does what
Provides breathable air to the biosphere
This biological process decreases oxygen in the atmosphere
What is cellular respiration
The greek root definition of bios
What is life?
The geosphere most directly involves what type of weathering
What organism is found in the hydrosphere (aquatic organism) but contributes to carbon through photosynthesis and cellular respiration
What is algae?
These molecules/elements are the most common in the atmosphere
What is Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Argon
The movement of carbon from the ocean to the atmosphere and in reverse occurs due to this process
What is gas exchange/ diffusion?
The 2 biological processes that move carbon
What is photosynthesis and cellular respiration
What are rocks?
What features does the hydrosphere include
What is lakes, oceans, rivers, any body of water or cycle incloving water- precipitation etc, glaciers...
This physical process moves carbon through the atmosphere
What is wind?
Fossil fuel burning by humans contributes to what global phenomenon
What is climate change/global warming?
The process that uses carbon to make energy (sugar)
What is photosynthesis?
The most common form of Carbon in the geosphere
What is in organic carbon (Carbonate minerals/ fossil fuels)
This phenomenon occurs when their is a large amount of carbon in the atmospher before precipitation
What is acid rain?
The atmosphere provides oxygen and carbon to the biosphere in what is the form of carbon
What is carbon dioxide
This occurs when the ocean absorbs to much carbon
What is acidification?
This process releases carbon into the environment
What is cellular respiration?
This event significantly affects the presense of carbon in the atmosphere
What is a volcanic eruption
The geosphere and hydrospher interacting to move sediments during this process
What is erosion and deposition?
What is gas exchange?
Please describe an interaction that correctly involves all 4 spheres
e.g A tree (biosphere) uses gas exchange with the (atmosphere) to do get carbon and absorbs water (hydrosphere) from the soil (geosphere) for photosynthesis.
