Question

identifying sphere interactions
read the paragraph, and then answer the question.
the solid part of earth is made of huge chunks called plates. these plates sometimes move. when this happens, earthquakes may occur. when earthquakes occur under the ocean, it causes huge waves that carry a lot of energy. these huge waves are called tsunamis.
which spheres interact in the formation of tsunamis? check all that apply.
□ atmosphere
□ biosphere
□ cryosphere
□ geosphere
□ hydrosphere

Explanation:

• Geosphere: The movement of tectonic plates (part of the geosphere) causes earthquakes which are a trigger for tsunamis.
• Hydrosphere: Tsunamis are huge ocean - waves. The ocean is part of the hydrosphere.

Answer:

geosphere, hydrosphere
