Spheres and Water cycle

The heat can be transferred by Convection. Which of the following is an example of convection in the geosphere?

• Movement of magma

  
  

• Movement of water

  
  

• Movement of glaciers

  
  

• Movement of wind

  
  

When the sun heats the ground, the air directly above is warm and less dense, then It will rise and replace the cooler, denser air, causing it to sink back down. In this situation what is the order in each step of heat transfer?

• conduction, convection, then radiation

• radiation, conduction, then convection

• convection, conduction, then radiation

• radiation, convection, then conduction

What is the name of the filter in the Stratosphere, that blocks UV rays from the sun?

• Nitrogen

• Meteors

• Ozone Layer

• Convection Currents

When the heat is transferred as energy flows from one object to another object is name conduction. Which of the following is evidence of conduction?

• electromagnetic radiation transfers energy from the sun to Earth

• warmer air is pushed upward and out of the way by cooler air

• the warmer ground transfers heat directly to the air above it.

• dense water sinks to the ocean floor and less dense water moves to the ocean surface.

The heat transferred from the sun is the main source of energy in the atmosphere and It create the weather, What type of heat transfer is?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Reflection

• Radiation

The photosynthesis is a process that occur in the plants taken carbon dioxide and water and use these reactants in the presence of sunlight to make glucose and release oxygen and water vapor. Which of the Earth's spheres interact during photosynthesis?

• atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere

• atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere

• biosphere, cryosphere, geosphere

• biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere

When the ocean waves move towards and away from the beach, carrying sand as they travel. What spheres are interacting in this example?

• biosphere and hydrosphere

• geosphere and hydrosphere

• atmosphere and hydrosphere

• geosphere and biosphere

A penguin walks across ice. Which spheres do the penguin and ice representin this interaction?

• cryosphere and geosphere

• biosphere and hydrosphere

• biosphere and cryosphere

• biosphere and geosphere

The ocean has Oxygen dissolves in the water. The Octopus living in the ocean acquire take the oxygen. Which spheres are interacting in this example?

• atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere

• biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere

• biosphere, exosphere, hydrosphere

• atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere
