Test Description: Atmosphere and Cycles on Earth Words
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) The outermost layer of the geosphere. This includes the crust and upper mantle. This is made up of several different plates, which slowly move across Earth's surface
A
Troposphere
B
Atmosphere
C
Exosphere
D
Lithosphere
2) Includes the physical elements of the Earth's surface, crust and interior. Examples are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
A
Hydrosphere
B
Atmosphere
C
Cryosphere
D
Geosphere
3) Includes any part of the Earth where there are living organisms.
A
Lithosphere
B
Biosphere
C
Cryosphere
D
Hydrosphere
4) Includes all of the water on or near Earth's surface. This could be water vapor, solid water, and liquid water.
A
Lithosphere
B
Hydropshere
C
Mesosphere
D
Geosphere
5) Includes only the frozen portion of the hydrosphere. This would involve the movement of glaciers, ice flow and snow fall.
A
Exosphere
B
Lithosphere
C
Geosphere
D
Cryosphere
6) This is a natural warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. This is important to support life on Earth. Without this Earth could not support life as we know it.
A
Greenhouse Effect
B
Altitude
C
Spheres
D
Air Pressure
7) The most abundant of these would be carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane. They trap and hold heat in the atmosphere.
A
Air Pressure
B
Spheres
C
Greenhouse Gases
D
Altitude
8) This is a thin, gaseous layer of molecules surrounding the solid surface of the planet. It is held in place by gravity.
A
Geosphere
B
Biosphere
C
Atmosphere
D
Lithosphere
9) These are the 4 main interacting systems found here on Earth. Matter is recycled continually through these systems on Earth.
A
Spheres
B
Air Pressure
C
Greenhouse Effect
D
Greenhouse Gases
10) The atmospheric layer closest to the Earth's surface. This is the layer where we live, clouds form and weather occurs.
A
Mesosphere
B
Exosphere
C
Stratosphere
D
Troposphere
11) The force exerted by the weight of the air above the surface. This force is created by the molecules in the air.
A
Greenhouse Effect
B
Air Pressure
C
Spheres
D
Altitude
12) This is the layer of the atmosphere directly above the troposphere. It is cold and dry in this layer. This is where you find the ozone layer, which protects us from UV rays from the sun.
A
Exosphere
B
Stratosphere
C
Troposphere
D
Mesosphere
13) This is the layer directly above the stratosphere. This is the coldest layer of the atmosphere. This layer gives us protection from meteoroids.
A
Exosphere
B
Troposphere
C
Stratosphere
D
Mesosphere
14) This is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. This is where satellites orbit.
A
Mesosphere
B
Exosphere
C
Troposphere
D
Stratosphere
15) This is the layer directly above the mesosphere. Even though the air is very thin it is very hot here.
A
Thermosphere
B
Mesosphere
C
Troposphere
D
Stratosphere
16) Distance above sea level. As altitude increases air pressure decreases.
A
Altitude
B
Air Pressure
C
Greenhouse Gases
D
Spheres
