4 Spheres of Earth

What does the geosphere consist of?

• All living organisms on Earth

• The atmosphere surrounding the Earth

• All the non-living soil, rocks, and minerals of the Earth

• The water bodies of the Earth

Which two spheres interact when water evaporates into a gas?

• The atmosphere and hydrosphere interact during the evaporation of water.

• The lithosphere and biosphere interact during the evaporation of water.

• The atmosphere and lithosphere interact during the evaporation of water.

• The biosphere and hydrosphere interact during the evaporation of water.

What is the significance of glaciers in the hydrosphere?

• Glaciers are primarily composed of saltwater.

• Glaciers store a significant amount of Earth's freshwater and influence sea levels.

• Glaciers are only found in polar regions and have no impact on sea levels.

• Glaciers are a major source of geothermal energy.

What is the relationship between the geosphere and the atmosphere?

• The geosphere and atmosphere interact through weathering and erosion processes.

• The geosphere is completely independent of the atmosphere.

• The atmosphere is a solid layer surrounding the geosphere.

• The geosphere only affects the biosphere, not the atmosphere.

What is the water cycle?

• The process of water evaporating and falling as rain.

• The continuous movement of water through the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere.

• The method by which plants absorb water from the soil.

• The cycle of water being stored in glaciers and ice caps.

What is an example of the hydrosphere?

• Rain is an example of the hydrosphere.

• Mountains are an example of the hydrosphere.

• Deserts are an example of the hydrosphere.

• Forests are an example of the hydrosphere.

What is the biosphere?

• The biosphere is the layer of gases surrounding Earth.

• The biosphere includes all living things on Earth, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

• The biosphere is a term used to describe the Earth's atmosphere.

• The biosphere refers to the geological features of Earth.

What is the role of the atmosphere in the water cycle?

• The atmosphere allows water to evaporate and condense.

• The atmosphere prevents water from evaporating.

• The atmosphere filters pollutants from water.

• The atmosphere cools the water in rivers and lakes.

What is an example of the geosphere?

• Rivers

• Mountains, soil, and minerals

• Atmosphere

• Oceans

How do the spheres of Earth interact?

• They interact through processes like evaporation, precipitation, and erosion.

• They remain completely independent of each other.

• They interact only during natural disasters.

• They only interact through human activities.
