lesson 3 quiz review

Robert is performing a series of experiments to show how Earth’s systems interact with each other.Robert places two jars with thermometers outside in the sun for six hours. One of the jars is covered with the top half of a soda bottle. In six hours, the temperature in the____________ will have increased more compared to the ___________________.

• covered jar, uncovered jar

• uncovered jar, covered jar

Robert says the soda bottle covering the jar models Earth’s atmosphere. Complete the sentence to explain the importance of Robert’s investigation.

The increase in temperature represents how     ___________ is trapped on Earth.

• heat

• moisture

The increase in temperature represents how heat is trapped on Earth. This is important for the __________because Earth needs to be ________ enough to support living things.

• geopshere, cold

• biosphere, warm

• biosphere, cold

The picture shows how quickly the landscape can change due to a shift in one of Earth’s spheres. Which systems does the change shown in the pictures impact? Select ALL that apply.

• A.

  atmosphere

• B.

  hydrosphere

• C.

  geosphere

• D.

  biosphere

Silvio made this model to use in a science project. Which two of Earth’s systems are interacting in Silvio's model?

• A.

  atmosphere

• B.

  hydrosphere

• C.

  geosphere

• D.

  biosphere

Imagine humans, part of the biosphere, have built this dam. The water in the lake behind the dam seeps in the ground. Some of the water flows over the dam and is converted into energy. Some water evaporates into the air. What spheres does the water, or hydrosphere, interact with in this example?

• geosphere and atmosphere

• atmosphere and biosphere

• cryosphere and atmosphere

• aesthenosphere and cryosphere

Plants (__________) draw water (___________) and nutrients from the soil (___________) and release water vapor into the atmosphere.

• biosphere; hydrosphere; geosphere

• hydrosphere; biosphere; geosphere

• biosphere; atmosphere; hydrosphere

• cryosphere; biosphere; hydrosphere

In any marine biome, the major interaction of Earth's spheres is the _________ with the _____________.

• biosphere; atmosphere

• cryosphere; biosphere

• biosphere; hydrosphere

• hydrosphere; geosphere

Which of these BEST describes the relationship between the atmosphere and hydrosphere?

• the atmosphere and hydrosphere have no relationship

• the hydrosphere grows due to the formation of volcanoes

• the solid layer of the hydrosphere is located in the atmosphere

• evaporation brings water into the atmosphere and condensation brings it back to the hydrosphere

When nitrogen is returned to the soil when dead plants decompose, the interaction is between which two spheres?

• Hydrosphere and geosphere

• Cryosphere and geosphere

• Biosphere and geosphere

• Biosphere and atmosphere
