Features of the Geosphere

Continents

Tectonic Plates

Earthquakes

Erosion Volcanoes

Pacific/North America

South America/African

Evrasion/Antarctica

North America

South America

Europe

Asia

Antarctica

Africa

Australia

Exist along edges of tectonic plates

About 90 percent of all volcanoes exist within the Ring of Fire About 1,900 volcanoes on Earth are considered active

A sudden movement of the earth's crust

caused by the release of stress accumulated along geologic fault lines

material is worn away from the earth's surface

weathering, dissolution, abrasion, corrosion, and transportation

Geosphere Interactions

How does theGeosphere interact with other spheres?

The volcano erupts

A volcano cloud forms in the atmosphere

The geosphere has many rocks

The hydrosphere breaks down the geosphere(rocks)

Geosphere Layers

Geosphere

Crust

Mantle

Core

outermost layer

hot layer of rock

Earth’s center

Human interactions with the Geosphere

How do humans effect the Geosphere?

Mining Metal ore is extracted from Earth at mines

TrashLandfills form
