What type of rock is formed from cooled lava or magma?

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Crystal

Design a model to demonstrate how Earth's systems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) interact to affect climate. Explain the role of each system in your model.

• Focus only on the atmosphere and its gases, ignoring interactions with other systems.

• Show how volcanic activity (geosphere) affects atmospheric conditions and influences ocean currents (hydrosphere).

• Model only the biosphere's impact on the atmosphere through carbon dioxide production.

• Isolate the hydrosphere and examine its effects without interaction with other systems.
