Earth's 5 spheres

Which is an interaction between the Geosphere and the Hydrosphere?

• An earthquake causing a landslide.

• An rainstorm causing a mudslide.

• A dog urinating on a rock.

• A glacier eroding the surface of a mountain.

What are the parts of the Biosphere

• Earth, Air, Water, Fire

• Magma, Lava, Crust, Mantel

• Plants, Animals, Fungi, Bacteria

• Ice, Glaciers, water, snow

Which sphere do humans need the most?

• The Geosphere because we live on it!

• The Atmosphere because we breathe it.

• Humans don't need any of these dumb spheres.

• Humans need all of the spheres to survive.

Which sphere helps to maintain the temperature of the Earth?

• The geosphere because it's filled with hot lava that keeps the Earth warm.

• The biosphere because trees make oxygen that cools the Earth down.

• The cryosphere because all of the ice reflects sunlight and acts as a cooling agent.

• The sun because its light keeps us warm and allows plants to do photosynthesis.

Nitrogen is a gas that is usually recycled by the soil from dead living things and re-used to help plants grow. What two spheres are potentially interacting?

• biosphere and geosphere

• atmosphere and biosphere

• Biosphere and Hydrosphere

• Cryosphere and Geosphere

Which of the following examples describes an interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere?

• Water is evaporating at the equator

• As icebergs melt, fresh water is released into the ocean

• As the icebergs form, they become habitable islands in the ocean

• dead plants and animals decompose and the organic matter erodes into the ocean

Forest fires can affect multiple spheres, including the geosphere and biosphere. Which of these can be an example of the fire's impact on both?

• Fire is killing plants and adding smoke to the air

• Fire is evaporating water from rivers, causing more rain

• Fire is causing animals to leave and move to colder climates

• Fire is killing plants and making the land vulnerable to erosion

The Water Cycle plays an important role in recycling the Earth's water supply. What are the two main spheres that are interacting in the water cycle?

• atmosphere and biosphere

• cryosphere and atmosphere

• geosphere and hydrosphere

• hydrosphere and atmosphere

What does the hydrosphere consist of?

• Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, Swamps, Groundwater

• Glaciers, Lakes, Icebergs, Rivers

• Volcano Bay, Aquatica, Wet N Wild, Blizzard Beach

• Mantle, Crust, Core

Water availability impacts plant growth and animals who depend on plants for food are interactions between the

• Geosphere and Hydrosphere

• Cryosphere and atmosphere

• Biosphere and geosphere

• Hydrosphere and biosphere
