1) What is the relationship between the hydrosphere and the cryosphere?
A
The hydrosphere is part of the cryosphere.
B
The cryosphere is part of the hydrosphere.
C
The hydrosphere contains water.
D
There is no relationship of the two spheres.
2) If the hydrosphere changed, other spheres would be affected. What is one possible way the biosphere might change?
A
Increased rainfall would reduce the population.
B
Reduced rainfall would reduce the amount of available food.
C
Higher lake levels would decrease the amount of available food.
D
Lower lake levels would eliminate habitats.
3) Caroline opened a map to complete her homework by identifying some of the landforms she had learned. She noticed a particular landform reaching from Florida all the way up to Massachusetts. What type of landform is this?
A
sand dunes
B
delta
C
plateau
D
coastal plain
4) Sarah learned natural forces are either destructive, like a volcano, or constructive, like mountain ranges. However, she read that water can be considered both a constructive and destructive force. In what way can water be a destructive force?
A
erosion of landforms
B
creating a lake
C
forming a delta
D
depositing sediment
5) Felix showed that certain elements of the geosphere and biosphere can affect the amount of water in the water cycle. In what ways do the geosphere and the biosphere add water to the water cycle?
A
Water evaporates from the soil.
B
n/a
C
Rain falls from the clouds.
D
Water evaporates from the ocean.
6) He showed his dad that water travels through all the spheres. Felix also showed him that the total amount of water on Earth has stayed the same. Why has the total amount of water in the water cycle remained constant?
A
More precipitation falls than can evaporate and condense.
B
The rate of evaporation competes with the balance of precipitation.
C
More water vapor condenses to keep the cycle in balance.
D
The rate of precipitation and evaporation are in balance.

A
lakes
B
ice
C
rivers
D
groundwater
8) What provides the energy that drives the water cycle?
A
heat sources at the center of Earth

feature
