During a science class, Aria and Daniel were discussing how weather patterns affect the water cycle. Explain how the atmosphere interacts with the hydrosphere.

• The atmosphere provides oxygen for aquatic life.

• The atmosphere blocks sunlight from reaching the water.

• The atmosphere absorbs water vapor from the hydrosphere.

• The atmosphere prevents water from evaporating.

Imagine you are on a field trip with your classmates, including Nora and Grace, to a volcanic region. Describe the role of the mantle in the movement of tectonic plates.

• The mantle is solid and does not affect plate movement.

• The mantle's convection currents drive plate movement.

• The mantle's magnetic field repels tectonic plates.

• The mantle's pressure holds the plates in place.

How does the biosphere depend on the geosphere?

• The biosphere provides minerals for the geosphere.

• The geosphere provides a habitat and nutrients for the biosphere.

• The biosphere controls the temperature of the geosphere.
