Quiz on erosion, weathering, and deposition.

Create a multiple choice quiz with the following information: Earth’s Sphere Everything on Earth can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, and air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "geosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air). Geosphere All the rock, soil and sediments that makeup Earth’s land. It comes from the word “Geo” which means “Earth.” Hydrosphere All the oceans, rivers, lakes and water on Earth. It comes from the word “Hydro” which means “water.” Atmosphere All the gasses surrounding the earth. It comes from the word “Atmos” which means “air.” Biosphere All the living things on Earth. It comes from the word “Bio” which means “life.” Interact act in such a way as to have an effect on another; Freshwater naturally occurring water that is not salty, and is suitable for consumption if clean or processed. Groundwater water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock Recycling To reuse something that would have otherwise been thrown out or to turn it into something usable again instead of sending it to a landfill. Erosion After pieces of the earth are broken down through weathering, those pieces are moved through Erosion. Erosion is the process of moving things from one place to another. Mushroom Rocks Naturally occurring rocks that look like a mushroom. They can be formed when sand gets carried by wind and hits the rock. This weathers the bottom of the rock more than the top. Dry Ice A solid form of carbon dioxide that is very cold and turns directly from a solid to a gas.
