SC.6.E.7.4 Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
Today’s Objective Explain interactions among the
geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
Describe how the composition and structure of the atmosphere protects life and insulates the planet.
AGENDA
I do: Guided notes – tree map We do: Identify Spheres of the
Earth and their interactions Rally Coach)
You do: Think-Write-Pair-Share: Picture analysis
You do: On your own-Exit Ticket
SPHERES OF THE EARTH
• Five major parts of Earth work together as a complex system: rocks, water, air, ice, rocks, water, air, ice, and life. and life. On a global scale, each part can be thought of as a sphere, roughly the same size and shape as the planet.
• The Earth and its systems are separated into categories that all function and all function and interact together. interact together. The geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are all categories of Earth’s functional systems.
CONTAINS A THIN LAYER OF GAS THAT PROTECTS THE EARTH FROM THE COLD WORLD OF SPACE
MADE OF NITROGEN, OXYGEN, AND GREENHOUSE GASES LIKE WATER VAPOR, CARBON DIOXIDE, METHANE, AND OZONE THAT KEEPS THE EARTH WARM
IT TRAPS THE HEAT AND SHIELDS THE WORLD FROM HARMFUL SOLAR RADIATION, COSMIC RAYS AND VACUUM OF SPACE
EVERYDAY, THE ATMOSPHERE TRANSFERS HEAT FROM THE EQUATOR TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLES
THIS IS DONE THROUGH TRADE WINDS THAT WE FEEL IN THE FORM OF GENTLE BREEZES
IT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSFERRING WATER FROM THE OCEANS TO THE LAND
THE CONDITION IN THE ATMOSPHERE AT A PARTICULAR PLACE AND TIME
SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH CLIMATE
THE PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR OF THE ATMOSPHERE OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME
DOES NOT CHANGE FROM DAY TO DAY
FLORIDA – RAINS, STORMS & HURRICANES FROM JUNE TO SEPT
FLORIDA – DRY SEASON FROM OCT TO MAY
The The hydrospherehydrosphere is the liquid water is the liquid water component of the Earth. The component of the Earth. The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the hydrosphere covers about 70% of the surface of the Earth and is the home for surface of the Earth and is the home for many plants and animals. The many plants and animals. The hydrosphere, like the atmosphere, is hydrosphere, like the atmosphere, is always in motion. always in motion.
