Earth's Systems Interactions Assessment

Which of the following provides the best example of an interaction between the hydrosphere and the atmosphere?

• Carbon dioxide gas is released into the air by living things.
• Consistent patterns of wind change the shape of landforms.
• The oceans release heat energy that makes climate milder.
• Water vapor in the air is taken into plants through their leaves.

The shape of landforms is mostly due to the effects of -

• plants and animals.
• the earth’s magnetic field.
• the pull of the moon’s gravity.
• oceans and the atmosphere.

The diagram provided here shows an interaction on the earth. Which of the following best represents this interaction?

• Pond plants release oxygen into their environment.
• Ocean currents change direction when they hit continents.
• Volcanic eruptions add large quantities of gases to the air.
• Decaying organisms put nitrogen into the air.

What is definition of Atmosphere?

• They layer of gas surrounding planet Earth that is held in place by gravity.
• The sum of all living matter on Earth.
• The portion of the system of Earth that includes Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms, and the processes that shape Earth's surface.
• All the water on Earth's surface; includes all water sources above and below the surface.

What is definition of Hydrosphere?
