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