SPHERES REVIEW Quiz Tomorrow!! Slide 2 STANDARD 1 I CAN DESCRIBE
THE SPHERES OF EARTH (HYDROSPHERE, BIOSPHERE, GEOSPHERE,
ATMOSPHERE) AND HOW HUMANS INFLUENCE EACH SPHERE AT THE LOCAL AND
GLOBAL LEVEL. Slide 3 ATMOSPHERE Defined: Thin layer of gases that
surround Earth. Seals and protects Earth. Layers (from outer space
down) & Temp. Ionosphere / Thermosphere increasingly hotter
Mesosphere Cools Stratosphere warms (has ozone layer) Troposphere
cools Composition Nitrogen (N 2 ) Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) Oxygen (O
2 ) Interactions Slide 4 BIOSPHERE Defined: The part of the Earths
crust, water & atmosphere that supports life, and the actual
life forms. Interacts with ALL other spheres. Levels &
Composition: Atmosphere contains bacteria, insects, birds Geosphere
provides nutrients and support for plants. Worms & other
invertebrates, bacteria and small mammals live in the upper crust.
Hydrosphere contains fish, bacteria, sharks, whales, sea weeds,
coral reefs Slide 5 BIOSPHERE Temperature: Anything that supports
life. Generally 0 C through -45 C INTERACTIONS. Slide 6 GEOSPHERE
Defined: Solid portion of Earth (below us). Includes rocks,
minerals and landforms. We discussed the liquid part too.

Outer Core2,300 km3,600 C Inner Core1,200 km4,200 C Slide 7
HYDROSPHERE Defined: The liquid water component of Earth. Levels:
Lakes, seas, ponds, rivers Composition: saltwater, freshwater
Consider ice and water vapor Temperature: 0 C 100 C Interactions?
Slide 8 HYDROSPHERE ranges from 0C to 100C What sphere is this?
Slide 9 temperature ranges from about 20C to - 90C, with the most
distant layer becoming hard to measure What sphere is this? Slide
10 temperature ranges must support life ~0C - 45C (some rare cases
are lower and some are higher) What sphere is this? Slide 11
temperature ranges from 15C to ~4000C What sphere is this? Slide 12
composed of exo-, thermo-, strato-, tropho-, and mesosphere What
sphere is this? Slide 13 includes frogs, birds, and bacteria What
sphere is this? Slide 14 composed of gases (mainly O 2, CO 2 and N
2 ) What sphere is this? Slide 15 composed of solid, liquid, and
gas forms of water What sphere is this? Slide 16 GEOSPHERE contains
the of mantle and crust What sphere is this? Slide 17 composed of
all living things What sphere is this? Slide 18 contains solid and
liquid minerals, including metals What sphere is this? Slide 19
water What sphere is this? Slide 20 land What sphere is this? Slide
21 air What sphere is this? Slide 22 life What sphere is this?
Slide 23 Geosphere and atmosphere How do these spheres interact?
Describe a local and global interaction Slide 24 LOCAL - CORN AND
SOY (WHICH ARE ALIVE AND THEREFORE PART OF THE BIOSPHERE) PRODUCE
OXYGEN THAT IS RELEASED INTO THE AIR ABOVE ILLINOIS (ATMOSPHERE)
GLOBAL HUMANS IN THE BIOSPHERE AROUND THE WORLD RELEASE AIR
POLLUTION INTO THE ATMOSPHERE Biosphere and atmosphere How do these
spheres interact? Describe a local and global interaction Slide 25
Hydrosphere and atmosphere How do these spheres interact? Describe
a local and global interaction Slide 26 Geosphere, atmosphere,
biosphere, and hydrosphere How do these spheres interact? Describe
a local and global interaction Slide 27 FLOODS, EARTHQUAKES,
TSUNAMIS, HURRICANES List the types of natural disasters from the
Top 10 list. Slide 28 EARTHQUAKES Which natural disaster occurred
the most frequently on the TOP 10 list? Slide 29 TORNADOES,
BLIZZARDS, MUDSLIDES, VOLCANOES What other natural disasters did
not make the TOP 10 list? Slide 30 How do tsunamis affect the
biosphere at a local and global level? Slide 31 How do earthquakes
affect the biosphere at a local and global level? Slide 32 How do
floods affect the biosphere at a local and global level? Slide 33
Which sphere(s) are involved in creating earthquakes? Describe how
you know. Slide 34 Which sphere(s) are involved in creating
tsunamis? Describe how you know. Slide 35 Which layers of the
atmosphere increase in temperature? Stratosphere Thermosphere Slide
36 Why do the stratosphere and thermosphere increase in
temperature? Stratosphere Ozone layer traps heat from sun
Thermosphere Closest to the sun, ions are warmed by solar radiation
Slide 37 Why do the troposphere and mesosphere decrease in
temperature? Molecules space out more as you get farther away from
Earth. More space = less collisions to generate heat. Slide 38 What
is the name of the boundary that separates the troposphere and the
stratosphere? Tropopause Slide 39 How does the ozone layer affect
life on Earth? * Keeps Earth warm * Blocks harmful radiation
