Elevate Science Topic 3 5th Grade Earth Systems

What are the four main components of Earth's systems?

• atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and exosphere

• atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere

• atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere

• biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and asthenosphere

How do the geosphere and atmosphere interact with each other?

• The geosphere and atmosphere interact through wave activity.

• The geosphere and atmosphere interact through gravitational forces.

• The geosphere and atmosphere interact through weathering, erosion, and the exchange of gases and particles.

• The geosphere and atmosphere interact through the exchange of heat and energy.

What is the role of the hydrosphere in Earth's systems?

• The hydrosphere regulates the water cycle, influences climate patterns, and provides habitats for organisms.

• The hydrosphere has no role in Earth's systems.

• The hydrosphere only affects marine life.

• The hydrosphere is responsible for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

How does the atmosphere affect weather patterns on Earth?

• The atmosphere has no effect on weather patterns on Earth.

• Weather patterns on Earth are solely determined by the rotation of the Earth.

• Weather patterns on Earth are caused by the movement of tectonic plates.

• The atmosphere affects weather patterns on Earth by trapping heat from the sun and creating temperature variations.

How do human activities impact Earth's systems?

• Human activities impact Earth's systems in both positive and negative ways.

• Human activities have no impact on Earth's systems.

• Human activities only impact Earth's systems in a positive way.

• Human activities only impact Earth's systems in a negative.
