Multiple Choice

All lakes, rivers, oceans, and seas belong to the hydrosphere.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

All plants, rocks, grass, and caves belong to the geosphere.

• True

• False

​Earth is made up of interlocking spheres.

​

​That is, while each sphere contains only one type of thing (air, water, ground, ice, life) they work together and mix together.

​

It is all one planet, after all!

​What belongs in the Geosphere?

• ​rocks

• ​soil

• ​crystals

• ​mountains

• ​magma and lava

• lakes

• ​rivers

• ​oceans

• ​rain

• ​groundwater

​What belongs in the Hydrosphere?

​What belongs in the Biosphere?

• ​plants

• animals

• bacteria

• fungi

• all living things

• clouds

• ​fog

• ​oxygen

• ​all the gasses

​What belongs in the Atmosphere?

​What belongs in the Cryosphere?

• ​ice

• snow

• glaciers

• icebergs

• all the ice on Earth

​How do the spheres interact?

​Here are some examples:

1. ​Deer drink water.

2. ​Fish breathe air.

3. ​Trees make oxygen.

4. ​Birds fly in the air.

​They are connected!

On​ the next few slides,

Multiple Choice

• Hydrosphere and atmosphere.

• Cryosphere and geosphere.

• Biosphere and atmosphere.

Multiple Choice

• Geosphere and biosphere.

• Hydrosphere and cryosphere.

• Biosphere and atmosphere.

​Living things need all the spheres to survive.

We need water to drink and air to breathe.

We need hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere.
