STEMscopes Bundle 3 Scope 1: Earth's Systems Interactions

atmosphere

• 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

• Actions by one thing that have an effect on a different or separate thing

• The layer of gas surrounding planet Earth that is held in place by gravity

ecosystem

• The layer of gas surrounding planet Earth that is held in place by gravity

• 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 living and nonliving things and all their interactions in an area

• Rock heated to a temperature that is sufficient to turn it into a thick liquid
