Understanding Earth's Spheres: Geosphere, Atmosphere, and Hydrosphere

This content explores the fundamental spheres of Earth, including the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Students will learn to identify each sphere: the geosphere as the layer where rocks, volcanoes, caves, and earthquakes exist; the atmosphere as the realm where weather occurs; and the hydrosphere, which contains all of Earth's liquid water. The lesson also includes the water cycle's connection with these spheres and a comparison of planetary distances from the Sun, linking these distances to the planets' characteristics and revolution.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Earth and Space Science Content Standard 10 Identify spheres of Earth, including the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. • Identify the geosphere as the layer on Earth where rocks are formed and where volcanoes, caves, and earthquakes exist. • Identify that the atmosphere is where weather occurs. • Identify that the hydrosphere contains Earth’s liquid water. • Know the prefixes geo-, hydro-, and atmos-. • Distinguish between the parts of the different spheres. • Recognize that the water cycle is associated with all spheres.

  2. A. atmosphere

  3. A. Geosphereand hydrosphere

  4. Which part of the water cycle occurs in both Earth’s geosphere and hydrosphere? D. 4

  5. D. Water soaks through rocks and soil to underground caves.

  6. B.It is a part of the geospherefound beneath the atmosphere.

  7. C. hydrosphere to the atmosphere.

  8. Earth and Space Science Content Standard 11 Compare distances from the Sun to planets in our solar system. • Relate each planet’s distance from the Sun to the planet’s characteristics. • Compare characteristics of the planets based on their distances from the Sun. • Know that revolution is based on the distance from the Sun. • Compare the relative distance, in miles and/or kilometers (km), between planets and the Sun. • Note: Items will not involve calculations.

  9. B. It is closer to the Sun than is Jupiter.

  10. B. Neptune

  11. B. The light will reach Earth before it reaches Uranus.
