1. FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS: Select and shade the letter of the correct earth system/sphere described in the given events/sentences/statements below. Refer to the following choices: A. ATMOSPHERE B. BIOSPHERE c. GEOSPHERE D. HYDROSPHERE EXAMPLE: Volcanoes (1._ C_) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (2._D_). Although the four systems have their unique identities, there is substantial interaction between them. For example, a volcanic eruption in the geosphere may cause profound direct and indirect effects on the hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere as follows: On May 18, 1980, Mount Saint Helens, in the state of Washington, erupted. This event altered the surrounding environment, and provided scientists with an opportunity to study the effects of volcanic eruptions on the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. Such studies are vital because volcanic eruptions will continue to occur, and will have increasing impact on humans as people continue to settle lands closer to dormant volcanoes. The following are but a few of the myriad of interactions resulting from a volcanic eruption. Volcanoes release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets. Rainfall (1. ) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (2. ultimately enriching the soil (3. _). Particulate matter in the air falls out, initially smothering plants, but ) and thereby stimulating plant growth. Volcanoes may release a substantial amount of hot lava (4. glaciers (5. and may inundate streamside communities (7. _), which causes mountain ) and flooding may occur downstream from volcanoes _) to melt. Mudflows (6. Volcanoes release a large amount of carbon dioxide (8. production in plants (9. the amount of biomass, which, after a very long time, forms coal and oil deposits (10. ), the raw material for sugar ). This may increase photosynthetic production and eventually increase
