Example Question #4 : Describe Ways The Four Spheres Of Earth Interact
A change in one sphere can lead to a change in another. In the example below, what spheres are being affected?
Humans (__________) built a dam out of rock materials (__________).
biosphere; atmosphere
hydrosphere; lithosphere
atmosphere; biosphere
biosphere; lithosphere
biosphere; lithosphere
There are four spheres that are all independent parts of a system. The spheres interact with each other and a change in one area can cause a change in another. Humans (biosphere) built a dam out of rock materials (lithosphere). The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. This sphere includes all of the microorganisms, plants, and animals of Earth. The lithosphere contains all of the solid land of the planet's crust, the semi-solid land underneath the crust, and even the molten part of Earth’s core.
Example Question #12 : Interactions Of The Four Spheres Of Earth
A change in one sphere can lead to a change in another. In the example below, what spheres are being affected?
Water in the lake (___________) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (___________).
biosphere; atmosphere
lithosphere; biosphere
hydrosphere; lithosphere
atmosphere; hydrosphere
hydrosphere; lithosphere
There are four spheres that are all independent parts of a system. The spheres interact with each other and a change in one area can cause a change in another. Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (lithosphere). The hydrosphere contains all the water of the planet, which exists in solid, liquid, and gas forms. The lithosphere contains all of the solid land of the planet's crust, the semi-solid land underneath the crust, and even the molten part of Earth’s core.
Example Question #5 : Describe Ways The Four Spheres Of Earth Interact
A change in one sphere can lead to a change in another. In the example below, what spheres are being affected?
Humans (________) harness energy from the water (________) by having it spin turbines (________) to produce electricity.

Example Question #6 : Describe Ways The Four Spheres Of Earth Interact
A change in one sphere can lead to a change in another. In the example below, what spheres are being affected?
Water seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (________), or evaporating into the air (________).
atmosphere; biosphere
biosphere; hydrosphere
lithosphere; atmosphere

Four spheres are all independent parts of a system. The spheres interact with each other, and a change in one area can cause a change in another. Water seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (lithosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere). The lithosphere contains all of the solid land of the planet's crust, the semi-solid land underneath the crust, and even the molten part of Earth's core. The atmosphere contains all the air in the Earth's system. The upper portion of the atmosphere protects the organisms of the biosphere from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. It also absorbs and emits heat. This sphere is also where weather occurs.
