Question 1

Which of the following best describes how the biosphere and hydrosphere interact in an ecosystem?

Accepted Answer

Plants use water from the hydrosphere to grow and produce oxygen for animals.

Answer

Rocks in the geosphere provide soil for plants to grow without water.

Answer

Animals breathe in oxygen and release water vapor back into the atmosphere.

Answer

Air moves heat and moisture around the geosphere, changing plant growth.

Question 2

How do the geosphere and atmosphere interact to influence weather patterns?

Accepted Answer

Mountains can block air currents, causing different climates on each side.

Answer

Plants grow on mountains, creating more humidity in the air.

Answer

Animals living in high altitudes generate heat that warms the surrounding air.

Answer

The heat from the Sun allows the geosphere to release oxygen into the atmosphere.

Question 3

In what way does the hydrosphere interact with the geosphere to form caves?

Accepted Answer

Water from the hydrosphere erodes rock formations in the geosphere.

Answer

Heat from the geosphere causes water to evaporate, forming fog.

Answer

Plants in the biosphere break down rocks into smaller particles.

Answer

Wind from the atmosphere blows sand into dunes in the geosphere.

Question 4

What is a way the atmosphere and hydrosphere interact to impact the climate?

Accepted Answer

The evaporation of water from oceans into the atmosphere forms clouds and precipitation.

Answer

Trees in the biosphere heat the atmosphere, increasing cloud formation.

Answer

Volcanic ash in the atmosphere settles into the oceans, cooling the water.

Answer

Rocks in the geosphere block winds, reducing rainfall.

Question 5

How does the biosphere rely on the geosphere for plant growth?

Accepted Answer

Plants absorb nutrients from soil in the geosphere to grow.

Answer

The geosphere emits light that helps plants in the biosphere grow.

Answer

Animals burrow into the geosphere to stay warm during winter.

Answer

Plants produce oxygen that is absorbed by rocks in the geosphere.

Question 6

Which process shows the interaction between the hydrosphere and atmosphere in the water cycle?

Accepted Answer

Water evaporates from lakes into the air, forming clouds.

Answer

Winds blow rocks from mountains into nearby rivers.

Answer

Plants in the biosphere produce nitrogen released into the atmosphere.

Answer

Clouds release minerals into the soil for plants to use.

Question 7

How do plants in the biosphere depend on the atmosphere?

Accepted Answer

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis.

Answer

Plants absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere to form proteins.

Answer

Plants release water vapor that forms clouds in the atmosphere.

Answer

Plants use oxygen from the atmosphere to produce minerals.

Question 8

What role does the atmosphere play in regulating the Earth's temperature?

Accepted Answer

The atmosphere traps heat from the Sun, keeping the Earth warm.

Answer

The atmosphere releases extra heat into the biosphere for plant growth.

Answer

The atmosphere reflects all sunlight back into space, lowering temperatures.

Answer

The atmosphere absorbs all water from the oceans, cooling the Earth.

Question 9

How do ocean currents in the hydrosphere affect climate on land?

Accepted Answer

Ocean currents distribute heat from the equator, influencing coastal climates.

Answer

Ocean currents pull cold air from the geosphere, cooling down coastal areas.

Answer

Ocean currents evaporate snow from mountains, leading to increased temperatures.

Answer

Ocean currents reflect sunlight, reducing temperatures in the biosphere.

Question 10

In which way do winds in the atmosphere interact with the hydrosphere to impact ocean surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Winds drive ocean surface currents by pushing water across vast areas.

Answer

Winds transform rainwater into clouds without impacting ocean levels.

Answer

Winds evaporate oceans entirely, leaving dry seabeds.

Answer

Winds cause ocean water to rise into the geosphere, creating mountains.
