What is condensation ?

When the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

When the Sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.

When clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Most of the water on Earth is located in the oceans and has a salinity of about 3.5% . Which statement best explains why rain is fresh water and has a very low salinity?

When water evaporates from oceans, most of the salt remains in the oceans.

When water precipitates from oceans, most of the salt remains in the oceans.

When water precipitates from clouds, most of the salt remains in the clouds.

When water evaporates from clouds, most of the salt remains in the clouds,

the water that is beneath Earth's surface

all the bodies of fresh water, salt water, ice, and snow that are found above the ground

the area of land that is drained by a river system

a body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater

Think about what we have learned about the relationship between Earth's spheres and cycles . Which answer choice is the best description of this relationship?

Earth's biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere are all connected . What affects one, affects all.

The Earth’s biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere are independent systems.

Earth's biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere share some sources of energy.

Earth is a closed system. Energy can move between spheres but not matter.

The lava from a volcano destroying a nearby forest is an example of

the geosphere interacting with the biosphere.

the atmosphere interacting with the biosphere.

the geosphere interacting with the hydrosphere.

the hydrosphere interacting with the geosphere.

Abigail, Samuel, and Maya went on a field trip to the Grand Canyon. They learned that the Grand Canyon was formed when rocky ground was eroded by a river. This is an example of

the hydrosphere interacting with the geosphere.

the atmosphere interacting with the biosphere.

the biosphere interacting with the hydrosphere.

the geosphere interacting with the biosphere.

What would happen to the climate if Earth took in more energy than it released?

The climate would get cooler, then warmer.

Check ALL THE ANSWERS THAT ARE CORRECT: The biosphere and the geosphere interact by...

Volcano erupting and covering plants and animals

Trees roots cracking and breaking down rocks

There are two classifications of systems, open and closed systems. Why is Earth considered as a closed system?

Because energy may enter and leave, but, matter does not

Because both energy and matter freely exchange in the surroundings.

Because matter may enter and leave, but energy does not.

Because there is no energy and matter that could enter in the surroundings.

Where does the Earth's energy originate from?

from gravitational energy in tides

from geothermal energy in Earth's core

This image shows a model of the rock cycle. At point R, rocks melt underground to form magma. Which is another process that contributes to the formation of rock at point R?

cooling as the lava runs down the mountain

compacting of sediments on the mountain

weathering of the mountain from the environment

eroding of different rocks at the base of the mountain

What is the difference between the physical layers and chemical (compositional) layers of the Earth?

Compositional layers are divided by what they are made of.

There's no difference. It's just the same layers.

Physical layers are divided by the chemical elements they are made of.

Each layer is totally different from the other layers for a total of 8 completely different states of matter.

What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?

The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.

The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow.

The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds.

The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation.

Why are clouds a key element of the water cycle?

transport water from one part of the planet to another

increase amount of water on the planet

What is the difference between the words interdependent and interacting ?

Interdependence means that one cannot live without the other. Interacting means one thing may act on another.

There is NO difference. They are the same words.

Interdependence means two things do not need each other--they are in-dependent of each other. Interacting means one thing causes things to happen to another.
