Unit 7: Earth's Spheres & Layers of Atmosphere

Which is evidence that convection happens in the geosphere?

• there's movement of glaciers

• there's movement of wind

• there's movement of water

• there's movement of magma

Name the heat transfer in the correct order:

Sun heats ground

Warm air rises

Cooler dense air sinks to ground again

• radiation; conduction; then convection

• convection; conduction; then radiation

• radiation; convection; then conduction

• conduction; convection; then radiation

How can you tell that radiation was in the atmosphere?

• clouds are moving

• there's weather happening

• electromagnetic waves are absorbed in the Ozone Layer

• Burning up of meteors

How do you know that conduction has occured?

• cooler air molecules touch the warm ground; making warmer air

• cooler air pushes away warmer air

• dense cold water sinks to ocean floor; less dense moves to the surface

• electromagnetic waves transfers energy from the sun

• conduction

• radiation

• reflection

In which sphere would you find water in a puddle beginning to evaporate?

• cryosphere

• biosphere

• hydrosphere

• geosphere

How would the cryosphere change the water cycle?

• Glaciers melting, leads to runoff water that condenses

• Glaciers melting, leads to runoff, then evaporates

• Glaciers melting, leads to runoff, then transpires

What happens in the Troposphere layer that involves the water cycle?

• the Ozone absorbs the suns UV radiation through water

• water is heated and then burns up meteors

• water is evaporated and creates weather

How does the water on Earth affect the geosphere?

• water condenses causing oceans levels to go down

• water comes down as precipitation, causing ocean levels to decrease

• water comes down as precipitation, causing weathering, erosion, deposition on rocks

• water comes down, condenses, then causes weathering on rocks.

What do the 5 Earth systems show us?

• that there are different rocks on Earth's surface

• that different parts of Earth work together to help us live

• that different types of animal fossils existed

• that there are steps of a science experiment to follow
