DNMQ #47: Earth Spheres Doodle Notes Lesson (F23)

​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 Cryosphere?

• ​ice

• snow

• glaciers

• icebergs

• all the ice on Earth

​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 Geosphere( also called lithosphere)?

• soil

• rocks

• Earth's crust

• etc

• rivers

• ​lakes

• ​oceans

• ​swamps

• etc

​What belongs in the Hydrosphere?

Multiple Select

Select all the spheres that you see in the image.

• Hydrosphere

• Cryosphere

• Atmosphere

• Biosphere

• Geosphere

Multiple Select

Select all the spheres that you see in the image.

• Hydrosphere

• Cryosphere

• Atmosphere

• Biosphere

• Geosphere

​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!

Multiple Choice

Identify the sphere interactions: The remains of dead plants and animals can get buried under soil to form coal and oil over long periods of time. This is an interaction between the:

• Biosphere and hydrosphere

• geosphere and hydrosphere

• geosphere and biosphere

• atmosphere and geosphere

More Practice: On​ the next few slides,

identify the sphere interactions!

Multiple Choice

Bubbles of air in a glass of water.

• Atmosphere and hydrosphere.

• Cryosphere and atmosphere.

• Geosphere and biosphere.

Multiple Choice

Sheep drinking water from a puddle.

• Atmosphere and hydrosphere.

• Cryosphere and biosphere.

• Biosphere and hydrosphere.

Multiple Choice

Which would be an example of a transfer of energy from the atmosphere to the geosphere?

• A volcano erupts in the state of Washington.

• A wild fire scorches a prairie in the upper Midwest.

• 
  An earthquake takes place of the coast of Japan.

• A hurricane moves from the Gulf of Mexico onto land.

Multiple Choice

The interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere can have an impact on Earth’s oceans. Which of the following is an example of an interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere?

• evaporation of water from oceans at the equator

• 
  decomposition of organic matter at the bottom of oceans

• release of fresh water into ocean water as icebergs melt

• release of large amounts of salt from icebergs into the ocean
