How is the hydrosphere distinct from the other subsystems?
It gives food for living organisms.
It offers shelter for land animals.
It provides natural resources such as minerals and rocks
It provides water for organisms which enable organisms to function properly.
The atmosphere serves as envelop which protects the earth. Which of the following is TRUE about atmosphere?
It includes all flying organisms.
It serves as the Earth’s blanket.
It is affected by temperature and salinity.
It is composed of the different landforms of the Earth.
How is biosphere different from the other subsystems?
.It is dependent only on hydrosphere and geosphere.
It is composed of all living organisms.
It is composed of soil, rocks, and minerals.
.It provides air which supports respiratory processes of living organisms.
The Agusan Marsh is a large wetland with many plants, animals, and microscopic organisms. Which part of the Earth’s subsystem includes the water in this wetland?
Atmosphere
Biosphere
Geosphere
Hydrosphere
Why are hydrosphere and geosphere involved in the given scenario below?
“Flooding moves soil and rock to new places.”
Flood, soil, and rock are components of hydrosphere.
Soil is part of geosphere while rock is a part of hydrosphere.
Flood is a component of hydrosphere while soil and rock are components of geosphere.
Flood is a part of geosphere while soil is a component of biosphere.
What is the reason why the atmosphere is essential to life?
It only provides blanket the covers the ears the earth’s surface.
It solely gives oxygen and carbon dioxide.
It regulates the earth’s temperature over a period of time.
It provides the gases essential to life and for organisms to perform bodily processes.
What subsystem interacts when a rice plant draws water and nutrients from the soil?
Atmosphere, Biosphere and Geosphere
Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Geosphere
Geosphere, Atmosphere and Biosphere
Hydrosphere, Atmosphere and Geosphere
Why are the subsystems interconnected to each other?
They have the same composition and characteristics.
They can alter the flow energy in a minimal amount.
They work together to influence the climate, trigger geological processes, and affect life all over the Earth.
They are all composed of living things that influence the flow of matter.
Oceans cover almost the entire Earth’s surface. How does it contribute to Earth’s habitable condition?
It absorbs and redistributes solar radiation.
It absorbs and replenishes solar radiation.
It protects and absorbs solar radiation.
It protects and adsorbs solar radiation.
Analyze the ecological phenomena given below. Which of the given situations shows the interaction between hydrosphere and atmosphere?
Evaporating water

What is the reason why geosphere is important?
It provides the environment for all living things to live in and survive.
It is the physical sphere that is made up of only molten rock and other materials.
It sustains proper amount of water.
It regulates the internal and external heat of the earth.
Plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Which of the following subsystems are interacting during this process?
atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere
atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere
atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere
hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere
Taal Volcano spews gases and ashes into air. How does this scenario affects the atmosphere?
It decreases the air pressure in the area.
It increases the humidity in the area near the volcano.
It lessens the atmospheric temperature in the area.
It affects the amount of gases in the atmosphere through its emitted gases.

Atmosphere and Biosphere
Hydrosphere and Biosphere
Hydrosphere and Geosphere
Atmosphere and Hydrosphere
Analyze the given situations below. Which of it shows an interaction between geosphere and atmosphere?
Water evaporating from the soil
Bacteria converting nitrogen to ammonium
Plants undergoing the process of transpiration
Rocks undergoing the process of weathering due to flood
