4 Spheres of Earth
This is all living things on Earth
What is the Biosphere?
These are the three main ways erosion occurs on Earth.
What is wind, water and ice?
A large body of saltwater that surrounds continents.
What is an ocean?
THIS is an area of land that supplies water to a river system.
What is a watershed?
What is any landform, rock, mineral or ground?
This includes all water on Earth
What is the Hydrosphere?
This force drops sediment in a new location.
What is deposition?
A large steep area of land that forms peaks.
What are mountains?
This decribes a tributary.
What is a creek, brook or stream that connects to a river?
Flowers are a part of THIS Earth sphere.
This describes the geosphere.
What is all the rocks, ground and landforms of the Earth?
Sand dunes, and mushroom rocks are created by this type of erosion.
What is wind?
This describes a river.
What is a large, flowing body of water that empties into an ocean.
THIS is one major way watersheds are able to contribute to us on Earth.
What is either: drinking water, use for agriculture or manufacturing, recreation or animal habitats?
THIS type of force destroys or breaks down landforms.
What is destructive force?
This describes the atmosphere.
What is the thin layer of gases surrounding the Earth?
Water is able to weather down areas with THIS LANDFORM.
What is rivers, or flowing rivers?
This describes the difference between a plateau and plain.
What is a plateau is at a high elevation, and a plain is at a low elevation?
THIS is why the hydrosphere is so important to Earth.
What is it contains ALL water on Earth?
THIS is an example of a landform that is considered both constructive and destructive.
What is the hydrosphere and geosphere?
Erosion moves sediment, but THIS breaks sediment down.
What is Weathering?
This describes the difference between a delta and a sand dune.
What is deltas are made by water, and sand dunes are made by wind?
THIS describes how a watershed contributes to the Biosphere.
What is supplies water to plants and animals, or gives habitats to some plants and animals?
