Earth's Four Systems
Grade 5 - Science - Challenge Me
Event: a volcanic eruption sends ash into the air and covers nearby land. Which Earth systems interact?
- atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere
- geosphere and atmosphere
- hydrosphere and atmosphere
- biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere
In this event, why is the hydrosphere involved: ocean water evaporates and later forms clouds?
- ocean water is part of Earth's water system
- it is a Moon phase
- it is a food-web predator
- it is a spelling pattern
Which effect shows Earth systems interacting in this event: a volcanic eruption sends ash into the air and covers nearby land?
- water moves rock material into the stream
- water moves from ocean to air
- frozen water changes rock surfaces
- solid Earth material enters the air
Which Earth system label matches this part of the event: rain comes from the air?
- biosphere
- geosphere
- hydrosphere
- atmosphere
Which question belongs in an Earth's systems model of this event: ocean water evaporates and later forms clouds?
- Which word has an ie spelling?
- Which operation solves the equation?
- How do air, water, land, or living things affect one another?
- What is the theme of the story?
Event: ocean water evaporates and later forms clouds. Which Earth systems interact?
- biosphere and hydrosphere
- biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere
- hydrosphere and atmosphere
- atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere
In this event, why is the biosphere involved: tree roots take in water from soil and help hold the slope?
- it is a spelling pattern
- it is a food-web predator
- tree roots are living parts
- it is a Moon phase
Which effect shows Earth systems interacting in this event: tree roots take in water from soil and help hold the slope?
- solid Earth material enters the air
- water moves from ocean to air
- water moves rock material into the stream
- living roots affect soil and water movement
Which Earth system label matches this part of the event: rock is part of solid Earth?
- geosphere
- biosphere
- hydrosphere
- atmosphere
Which question belongs in an Earth's systems model of this event: rain falls on a hillside and carries loose sediment into a stream?
- Which operation solves the equation?
- How do air, water, land, or living things affect one another?
- What is the theme of the story?
- Which word has an ie spelling?
