1. Describe two of Earth's surface features. 2. What part does the ocean play in the water cycle? Earth's System The atmosphere is the thin layer of gases surrounding Earth. It is made of dust particles and air, which is a combination of gases. Earth's weather and climate form in the atmosphere. The geosphere is the rock and metals that forms Earth's mass. The biosphere is all the living organisms on Earth. The hydrosphere is all the water on Earth, including ice. 3. Which system is Earth's landforms part of?

Question
Topic Readiness Remediation: Introduction to Earth's Systems Answer the questions and review the key concepts to help you prepare for the next topic. 1. Describe two of Earth's surface features. 2. What part does the ocean play in the water cycle? Earth's System The atmosphere is the thin layer of gases surrounding Earth. It is made of dust particles and air, which is a combination of gases. Earth's weather and climate form in the atmosphere. The geosphere is the rock and metals that forms Earth's mass. The biosphere is all the living organisms on Earth. The hydrosphere is all the water on Earth, including ice. 3. Which system is Earth's landforms part of? Changes to Earth's Surface Earth's surface is constantly being changed by constructive and destructive forces. Constructive forces build up Earth's surface to build new landforms. Destructive forces build new landforms by breaking down old landforms through weathering and erosion. Physical weathering is the breaking down of rocks by wind, water, ice, temperature changes, and plants. Erosion is the movement of rock by wind, water, ice, and gravity. 4. Explain the difference between weathering and erosion. How are they related? Topic Readiness Test Remediation Copyright by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
