Earth Systems

Earth is divided into five different spheres. Which statement is true about the interaction between two of these spheres?

• Weather is an interaction between the hydrosphere and the geosphere.

• A plant receiving water from precipitation is an interaction between the biosphere and the hydrosphere.

• An ice cap providing shelter for an arctic animal is an interaction between the biosphere and the hydrosphere.

• The formation of the Grand Canyon is an example of an interaction between the geosphere and the atmosphere.

Which layer of the atmosphere is correctly paired with its characteristics?

• The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains ozone that protects living things from ultraviolet radiation.

• The mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere in which thin, feathery clouds of ice form due to its cold temperatures.

• The thermosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that has no definite outer limit and protects the surface from being hit by meteoroids.

• The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere where weather occurs.
