How can the hydrosphere affect geosphere

• Water from the hydrosphere can dissolve rocks from the geosphere.

• Waves from the hydrosphere can break rocks from the geosphere into smaller pieces.

• Water from the atmosphere is dissolving rocks from the biosphere.

• Waves from the atmosphere can break rocks from the biosphere into smaller pieces.

What natural process could have caused the amount of rock matter to change over time?

• Gravity caused the rock to become compressed

• Surface weathering removed material from the rock.

• The humidity of the atmosphere caused the rock to shrink.

• Rock matter evaporated from the rock.

How are an old mountain range similar to a schoolyard rock you observe for 1 year?

• In both the rocks get smaller and more rounded

• In both the rocks have been weathered

• In both the rocks have grown over time and became more rounded.

• In both matter was removed over time.

How is a old mountain range different than a schoolyard rock you observe for 1 year?

• The mountain ranges are much larger than a single rock, so the amount of matter removed is a lot more.

• The mountain ranges are much larger than a single rock, so the amount of matter removed is less.

• The changes in the mountain range are over millions of years, but the changes in the rock are only over 1 year.

• The changes in the mountain range are over billions of years, but the changes in the rock are only over 1 day.

There is a mountain with a river flowing to a lake. Describe the surface processes occurring at the mountain.

• Rocks are being cracked and dissolved and broken into smaller pieces that enter the river.

• Rock pieces are moved by the river.

• The rocks are getting smaller and more rounded from moving in the river.

• Small, rounded rocks are deposited where the river meets the lake.

Is the formation of a beach a result of a gradual change, catastrophic change, or both?

• It is a gradual process because it takes a long time to weather rocks, and to move them down a river.

• It is a catastrophic process because this causes a change we can see quickly.

• It is both because sometimes huge storms cause more weathering and transport of material
