Question

create a one slide powerpoint or a word document brochure or hand made sketch
include the following:
•a labeled picture or sketch showing each sphere(either personal, that is school appropriate or from the web)
•identify the spheres
•explain how at least three spheres interact (a description and provide evidence)
•using evidence describe at least one impact humans have on the spheres (2 - 3 sentences)
•see a sample on the following slide
•when saying document title with the assignment and name for example: lastname_spheres
upload to the assignment in schoology

earths spheres info and examples
sphere interactions

Explanation:

1. Labeled Picture/Sketch: Find or draw a picture showing the Earth's spheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, geosphere). Label each sphere clearly.
2. Identify the Spheres: The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope around the Earth, the hydrosphere is all water on - Earth (oceans, rivers, lakes), the biosphere is the zone of life on Earth, and the geosphere is the solid part of the Earth (rocks, soil).
3. Sphere Interactions: For example, the hydrosphere and geosphere interact when water erodes rocks (evidence: canyons formed by river erosion). The biosphere and atmosphere interact as plants take in carbon - dioxide and release oxygen (evidence: photosynthesis). The hydrosphere and biosphere interact as aquatic life depends on water bodies (evidence: fish living in oceans and lakes).
4. Human Impact: Humans impact the spheres, such as deforestation which affects the biosphere by destroying habitats and also impacts the atmosphere as less carbon - dioxide is absorbed by trees.

Answer:

The following is a general guide to creating the required document:

• For the labeled picture/sketch, you can use an image from the provided links or draw one yourself. Label the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere.
• In the identification section, write a short description of each sphere.
• When explaining sphere interactions, choose three relevant interactions and provide descriptions and evidence as described above.
• For the human - impact section, describe one or more impacts of humans on the spheres in 2 - 3 sentences.
• Save the document with the appropriate title (e.g., Lastname_spheres) and upload it to Schoology.
