  • Q1
    Which of the following best describes how the biosphere and hydrosphere interact in an ecosystem?
    Rocks in the geosphere provide soil for plants to grow without water.
    Plants use water from the hydrosphere to grow and produce oxygen for animals.
    Animals breathe in oxygen and release water vapor back into the atmosphere.
    Air moves heat and moisture around the geosphere, changing plant growth.

  • Q2
    How do the geosphere and atmosphere interact to influence weather patterns?
    Plants grow on mountains, creating more humidity in the air.
    Mountains can block air currents, causing different climates on each side.
    Animals living in high altitudes generate heat that warms the surrounding air.
    The heat from the Sun allows the geosphere to release oxygen into the atmosphere.

  • Q3
    In what way does the hydrosphere interact with the geosphere to form caves?
    Heat from the geosphere causes water to evaporate, forming fog.
    Water from the hydrosphere erodes rock formations in the geosphere.
    Plants in the biosphere break down rocks into smaller particles.
    Wind from the atmosphere blows sand into dunes in the geosphere.

  • Q4
    What is a way the atmosphere and hydrosphere interact to impact the climate?
    Trees in the biosphere heat the atmosphere, increasing cloud formation.
    Volcanic ash in the atmosphere settles into the oceans, cooling the water.
    Rocks in the geosphere block winds, reducing rainfall.
    The evaporation of water from oceans into the atmosphere forms clouds and precipitation.

  • Q5
    How does the biosphere rely on the geosphere for plant growth?
    Plants absorb nutrients from soil in the geosphere to grow.
    The geosphere emits light that helps plants in the biosphere grow.
    Animals burrow into the geosphere to stay warm during winter.
    Plants produce oxygen that is absorbed by rocks in the geosphere.

  • Q6
    Which process shows the interaction between the hydrosphere and atmosphere in the water cycle?
    Winds blow rocks from mountains into nearby rivers.
    Plants in the biosphere produce nitrogen released into the atmosphere.
    Water evaporates from lakes into the air, forming clouds.
    Clouds release minerals into the soil for plants to use.

  • Q7
    How do plants in the biosphere depend on the atmosphere?
    Plants absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere to form proteins.
    Plants release water vapor that forms clouds in the atmosphere.
    Plants use oxygen from the atmosphere to produce minerals.
    Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis.

  • Q8
    What role does the atmosphere play in regulating the Earth's temperature?
    The atmosphere releases extra heat into the biosphere for plant growth.
    The atmosphere traps heat from the Sun, keeping the Earth warm.
    The atmosphere reflects all sunlight back into space, lowering temperatures.
    The atmosphere absorbs all water from the oceans, cooling the Earth.

  • Q9
    How do ocean currents in the hydrosphere affect climate on land?
    Ocean currents pull cold air from the geosphere, cooling down coastal areas.
    Ocean currents evaporate snow from mountains, leading to increased temperatures.
    Ocean currents reflect sunlight, reducing temperatures in the biosphere.
    Ocean currents distribute heat from the equator, influencing coastal climates.

  • Q10
    In which way do winds in the atmosphere interact with the hydrosphere to impact ocean surfaces?
    Winds transform rainwater into clouds without impacting ocean levels.
    Winds evaporate oceans entirely, leaving dry seabeds.
    Winds cause ocean water to rise into the geosphere, creating mountains.
    Winds drive ocean surface currents by pushing water across vast areas.
