Interactions!

45

Geosphere/Biosphere interactions

  • plants' roots are anchored in the soil

  • plants, animals, and humans live on the crust

  • plants get nutrients from the soil

  • humans mine and change the crust

  • humans leave trash that affect the geosphere

46

Geosphere/Atmosphere interactions

  • wind can cause weathering, erosion, and deposition

  • storms can change the way the Earth's crust looks

  • when volcanoes erupt, they add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere

47

Biosphere/Atmosphere interactions

  • wind carries seeds to new places

  • humans and animals take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide

  • plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen

  • some animals fly through the sky

  • humans, plants, and animals are affected by the weather

  • the atmosphere protects us from the sun

48

Open Ended

How do the hydrosphere and the geosphere interact?

49

Hydrosphere/Geosphere interactions

  • groundwater is stored in an aquifer

  • plants, animals, and humans live on the crust

  • plants get nutrients from the soil

  • rain, snow, and ice weathers, erodes, and deposits dirt and sand

50

Open Ended

How do the hydrosphere and the biosphere interact?

51

Hydrosphere/Biosphere interactions

  • most living things require water

  • some animals live in the water

  • plants need water for photosynthesis

  • humans bathe in and swim in the water

  • humans leave trash that pollute the hydrosphere

  • living things give off water (sweat, transpiration)

  • living things are made up of water!

52

Open Ended

How do the hydrosphere and the atmosphere interact?

53

Hydrosphere/Atmosphere interactions

  • air temperature affects how quickly water evaporates

  • clouds form in the atmosphere

  • rain and snow fall from the sky​
