Earth's Systems Interactions Review

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.
