Earth Systems

What are some elements that make up the hydrosphere

rain, ice, snow, rivers, lakes, glaciers, oceans, groundwater, and water vapor.

Where do we find saltwater

Oceans, seas, sometimes in rivers and lakes.

Where do we find freshwater

Rivers, lakes, streams, rain, ice

What is the geosphere

all solid parts or landmass of earth including rocks, minerals, and soil. Remember rocks, rock cycle geologic formations

What chemical element is most common in our atmosphere

Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere, followed by oxygen at 21%.

What gasses make up the atmosphere

Argon, Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen

What are some different parts of the biosphere

The biosphere includes ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic environments where living organisms interact with each other and their environments. Anything alive is a part of the biosphere

How does the hydrosphere interact with the geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere

The hydrosphere interacts the geosphere through water storage. Porous rocks and soil layers store water in underground aquifers, supplying wells, reservoirs, rivers etc. The hydrosphere and atmosphere interact through the water cycle. Water evaporates into the atmosphere as hydrogen and oxygen and comes back as precipitation such as rain and snow. The hydrosphere and biosphere interact as water is essential for life, providing habitats and necessary resources for organisms.

How does the biosphere interact with the atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere

The biosphere and atmosphere interact when things die or pass gas they release CO2 and methane into the air. The hydrosphere and biosphere interact as the biosphere particularly rivers and oceans act as hosts for complex life systems. The geosphere and biosphere interact as various rocks serve as hosts and safe havens for living organisms.

What spheres are impacted when earthquakes under the ocean surface cause Tsunamis.

Geosphere, hydrosphere

What spheres are impacted when a volcano erupts and releases gases

the atmosphere and geosphere

What spheres are impacted when humans use metal to build structures.

biosphere and geosphere

what are some ways that the atmosphere interacts with different spheres

Oxygen is breathed in by living organisms creating an interaction with the biosphere. The atmosphere moves around soil and dirt contributing to the erosion. The atmosphere blows air over warm water surfaces and warms up as a result

Can you draw the 4 main spheres on earth

yes I can. Remember they are the biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere. Talk about how they interact. Biosphere (living things) hydrosphere (water and bodies of water), Geosphere (rock and soil layers) Atmosphere (the air surrounding the Earth).
