2. Question 2: The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding Earth.
3. Question 3: The lithosphere includes Earth's crust and upper mantle.
4. Question 4: The hydrosphere is made up of all the water on Earth.
5. Question 5: The correct order of Earth's layers from the outside in is Crust - Mantle - Outer Core - Inner Core.
6. Question 11: The breakdown and movement of rocks and soil by wind, water, etc. is called erosion.
7. Question 12: The layer of gases that surrounds Earth and protects life by blocking harmful radiation is called the atmosphere.
