Earth's Four Systems
Grade 5 - Science - On Level
Event: beavers build a dam that changes the flow of a stream. Which Earth systems interact?
- biosphere and hydrosphere
- geosphere and atmosphere
- biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere
- hydrosphere and geosphere
In this event, why is the biosphere involved: beavers build a dam that changes the flow of a stream?
- it is a spelling pattern
- it is a Moon phase
- it is a food-web predator
- beavers are living organisms
Which effect shows Earth systems interacting in this event: rain falls on a hillside and carries loose sediment into a stream?
- water moves rock material into the stream
- water moves from ocean to air
- living things change water flow
- frozen water changes rock surfaces
Which Earth system label matches this part of the event: rock is part of solid Earth?
- biosphere
- geosphere
- 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?
Event: a volcanic eruption sends ash into the air and covers nearby land. Which Earth systems interact?
- geosphere and atmosphere
- biosphere and hydrosphere
- atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere
- hydrosphere and atmosphere
In this event, why is the geosphere involved: a volcanic eruption sends ash into the air and covers nearby land?
- it is a spelling pattern
- the volcano and rock material are solid Earth
- it is a food-web predator
- it is a Moon phase
Which effect shows Earth systems interacting in this event: beavers build a dam that changes the flow of a stream?
- frozen water changes rock surfaces
- living things change water flow
- water moves rock material into the stream
- living roots affect soil and water movement
Which Earth system label matches this part of the event: beavers are living organisms?
- biosphere
- atmosphere
- hydrosphere
- geosphere
