Humans cut down trees in a location. This is caused an increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall in that location. Which of these Earth systems interacted to produce this difference in climate.
biosphere, cryosphere, and geosphere
atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere
biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere
cryosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere
An unusually cold winter is a problem for Florida's manatees. Colder air temperatures cause water temps to drop which leads to manatee illness and death. Manatees will take shelter in the warmer waters found near natural springs and power plants. Which of the following accurately describes this chain of events leading to the manatees illness?
Changes in the atmosphere cause changes to the hydrosphere, which affects the biosphere.
Changes in the hydrosphere cause changes to the biosphere, which affects the atmosphere
Changes in the geosphere cause changes to the to the hydrosphere, which affects the atmosphere
Changes in the atmosphere affect the cryosphere, which affects the hydrosphere.
The interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere can have an impact on Earth's oceans. Which of the following is an example of an interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere?
evaporation of eater from oceans at the equator
release of fresh water into ocean water as icebergs melt
decomposition of organic matter at the bottom of oceans
release of large amounts of salt from icebergs into the ocean.
All interactions between the atmosphere and geosphere involve
soil and living things
water and living things
soil and living things
gases or particles in air or water
Which is a major source of energy for most of Earth's weather patterns?
earthquakes along fault zones
radioactive decay within earths interior
convection currents in Earth's mantle
Radiation received from the sun
Where are the sun's rays the most direct
near the poles
near the equator
at high altitudes
far from the ocean
fast moving molecules are associated with
hot air
cold air
moderate temps
solids
cold air tends to
be less dense and flow over warm air
be lifted up by more warm dense air
be more dense and sink
mix easily with warm air
The less mass in a given volume of air, the
more the air weighs
greater air pressure
more dense the air
less dense the air
______________ air can hold more water vapor and therefore be more humid
cool
warm
windy
denser
What causes winds to form?
unequal heating of Earth's surface
unequal air pressure and densities
land heats and cools faster than water
all of the above ^
Why don't we feel air pressure?
air is too light to feel
air has no mass, so we cannot feel it
air pressure comes in all directions
air isnt putting any pressure on us
Which of the following is a true statement of the heating and cooling rates of land and water
land heats and cools faster than water
water heats and cools faster than land
water and land heat and cool at the same rate
land heats faster than water, but it takes longer to cool
Where are the sun's rays the LEAST direct
near the poles
near the equator
at high altitudes
far from the ocean
What causes jet streams to form?
uneven heating of Earth's surface
cool air masses come into contact with warm air masses
both a&b
none of the above

land, water, land
water, land, land
land, water, water
water, water, land
