Unit 6: Earth Systems Test

5th Grade Earth Systems Interactions Science Worksheet!

How does the water cycle show how the hydrosphere and atmosphere interact? Plants soak up water from the ground. Air evaporates to form water vapor clouds. Water filters through the soil into groundwater Heat and wind cause water in a pond to evaporate into the air. Which of these reservoirs contains the most water? Lakes Rivers Glaciers Groundwater A student is making a model of how the atmosphere and biosphere interact. Which model best shows this? a diagram of animals eating plants a diagram of animals drinking water a diagram of plants decaying into the ground a diagram of plants giving off oxygen Which statement correctly compares the amount of surface fresh water found in different locations? The volume of Glaciers is greater than the volume of lakes. The volume of snow and rain is greater than the volume of groundwater. The volume of rivers and swamps is greater than the volume of lakes. The volume of rivers and swamps is greater than the volume of oceans. Which statement correctly compares the amount of salt water and fresh water on Earth? 32% Freshwater 68% Salt water 2.5% Freshwater 97.5% Salt water 32% Salt Water 68% Freshwater 2.5% Salt Water 97.5% Freshwater Correctly complete the sentences. Living things are part of the biosphere . Soil and sediments are part of the geosphere. Snow is part of the hydrosphere . Where are fresh water and salt water located on Earth? Fresh Water Glaciers Groundwater Ice caps Rivers Salt Water Oceans Circle the 3 parts of the water cycle that shows the interaction of the hydrosphere and the atmosphere. Locations of Earth's water sources are listed. Number the water sources according to volume from 1 to 4, with 1 being the smallest amount of water to 4 being the largest amount of water. 4 oceans 2 rivers and lakes 3 ice caps and glaciers 1 water in the atmosphere The approximate areas of three lakes in Michigan are Burt Lake at 17,000 acres, Houghton Lake at 20,000 acres, and Black Lake at 10,000 acres. Use the drawing tools to draw bars to show the correct area of each lake. The graph shows the percentages of different types of water on Earth. Copy and paste the words below to correctly fill in the boxes on the graph.

Make sure you use "I think.....because....." format. Use the picture above to explain what type of water (Fresh or Salt) is most likely in these bodies of water. Make sure you use "I think........ because......" The diagram shows some of the effects of a volcano erupting. Which effect on the ecosystem shown is an example of how the geosphere and biosphere interact? New land forms are created by lava flows. Hot gases cause mountain snow caps to melt Acid rain leads to organisms is the oceans dying. Hot lava runs down the sides of the volcano, killing vegetation. How can a volcano in the location shown affect weather patterns? It is likely to be hotter on the side of the volcano near the ocean. It is likely to rain more on the side of the volcano near the ocean. It is likely to be sunnier on the side of the volcano near the ocean. It is likely to be windier on the side of the volcano near the ocean. Sally wrote a paragraph about how the carbon cycle might be affected near a volcano. Fill in each blank to complete the sentence. Close to the volcano, the carbon dioxide levels could increase . This could be good for plants , because they require carbon dioxide to grow. Over thousands of years when these organisms decay, they could from more fossil fuels . This part of the carbon cycle is an example of how carbon from the atmosphere is used by organisms that eventually become part of the geosphere . Volcanic eruptions can also affect the water cycle. Match the part of the water cycle with the event due to a volcanic eruption. Acid rain falls to the ground. precipitation Sulfur gas from the eruption rises into clouds. condensation Hot gases melt snow from mountains and it gathers in lakes. collection Sally made a diagram to show one way that Earth's systems interact near a volcano. Identify the process that Sally is modeling in her diagram. Explain one way the model shows how the hydrosphere affects the cycle shown. Use the diagram of the volcano above to help you. Use the tools to draw a picture of at least 2 spheres interacting with each other.
