composition of the earth yay

Question 1

4 main systems of Earth that interacts

Answer 1

atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, geosphere

Question 2

is the earth’s air which is made up of a thin layer of gases, solids & liquids

Answer 2

atmosphere

Question 3

5 layers of the atmosphere

Answer 3

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere

Question 4

extends up to 10km high. Contains 75% of the mass of the atmosphere. Weather occurs here.

Answer 4

Troposphere

Question 5

2nd major layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. Temperature average from -52C to -15C. Increase in temperature with height means warmer air is located above colder air.

Answer 5

Stratosphere

Question 6

Extends 50-85km high. Most meteors from space burn up in this layer. Temperature here decreases w/ height and temperatures can range from 23F to -112F. Low air pressure and low amounts of oxygen.

Answer 6

Mesosphere

Question 7

Extends from 85km to 500km. Aurora borealis happens here. Contains very hot temperatures up to 1000C. Thickest layer.

Answer 7

Thermosphere

Question 8

Uppermost layer of the atmosphere and extends up from 500km to 10000km. The region where atoms and molecules escape into space.

Answer 8

Exosphere

Question 9

70% of the earth’s surface is?

Answer 9

water

Question 10

30% of the earth’s surface is?

Answer 10

land

Question 11

Energy flows here

Answer 11

Biosphere

Question 12

organisms so similar to one another that they can breed and produce fertile off spring

Answer 12

species

Question 13

similar cells working together

Answer 13

tissues

Question 14

different tissues working together

Answer 14

organs

Question 15

different organs working together

Answer 15

organ system

Question 16

same species living together in an area

Answer 16

population

Question 17

different populations living together in an area

Answer 17

community

Question 18

all the organisms that live in a place together with their nonliving environment

Answer 18

ecosystems

Question 19

group of ecosystems that have same climate and similar communities

Answer 19

biomes

Question 20

the portion of the planet in which all life exists

Answer 20

biosphere

Question 21

all the living things an organism interacts with

Answer 21

biotic factors

Question 22

all the nonliving things that affect an organism

Answer 22

abiotic factors

Question 23

place it lives plus the biotic and abiotic interactions it has in that place

Answer 23

niche

Question 24

waste energy

Answer 24

entropy

Question 25

energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes forms

Answer 25

1st law of thermodynamics

Question 26

everything that undergoes spontaneous process becomes entropy

Answer 26

2nd law of thermodynamics
