Which of the following layers make up the geosphere? (check all boxes that apply)

Which of the following components are found in the geosphere?

True or False: Abiotic parts of soils and fossils of animals are part of the geosphere?

This geosphere process occurs when igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks undergo a physical change due to extreme heat and pressure, creating new metamorphic rock formations.

When a volcano erupts and magma flows across the geosphere landscape and then crystallizes into igneous rock, this process is called?

When limestone changes to marble due to extensive heat and pressure, it is considered to undergo what geosphere process?

The breaking down of rocks, soils, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.

The action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

True or False: When weathering occurs, there is movement of rocks, soils, and minerals from one location to another.

During the erosion process, material on the geosphere is moved to another location. Which of the following can cause erosion to occur?

This occurs when the agents of erosion lay down sediment and causes changes in the shape of the land.

When older layers of sediments that originate from weathering and erosion of rocks on land get layered beneath newer ones.

The process of surface water vaporizing into the atmosphere.

The process where water vapor accumulates into clouds.

The process where water or snow falls to the surface of the Earth from clouds.

The movement of water through the soil surface into the soil.

The layer of the atmosphere that is the farthest from the Earth's surface and is considered the beginning of outer space and where most satellites orbit.

The layer of the atmosphere where 70-80% of all matter in the atmosphere exists.

This is the coldest layer of the atmosphere and where meteor tails can be seen burning off due to the change in temperature from hot to cold.

This layer of the atmosphere is one level above clouds, wind, and precipitation, and where most aircraft fly for a less turbulent ride.

This layer of the atmosphere is home to the International Space Station and has the hottest temperature of all the atmospheric layers.
