Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

each sentence describes an interaction between two of earths spheres. match each sentence with the spheres that are interacting.

grady swims in the ocean.

lena takes a deep breath.

water vapor condenses on a glass.

gusty winds weather sandstone in the desert.

geosphere and hydrosphere

hydrosphere and biosphere

biosphere and atmosphere

atmosphere and geosphere

Explanation:

Analyze the first interaction

Using the Subsystem Interaction knowledge point

• Sentence: "Grady swims in the ocean."
• Analysis: Grady is a living organism (biosphere) interacting with the ocean water (hydrosphere).
• Match: hydrosphere and biosphere

Analyze the second interaction

Using the Subsystem Interaction knowledge point

• Sentence: "Lena takes a deep breath."
• Analysis: Lena is a living organism (biosphere) inhaling air from the air layer (atmosphere).
• Match: biosphere and atmosphere

Analyze the third interaction

Using the Subsystem Interaction knowledge point

• Sentence: "Water vapor condenses on a glass."
• Analysis: Water vapor in the air (atmosphere) condenses into liquid water (hydrosphere) on a solid surface.
• Match: geosphere and hydrosphere (since the glass represents a solid, non-living material made from geological resources, or more directly, the interaction of atmospheric moisture with a solid surface).

Analyze the fourth interaction

Using the Subsystem Interaction knowledge point

• Sentence: "Gusty winds weather sandstone in the desert."
• Analysis: Wind (atmosphere) breaks down sandstone rock (geosphere).
• Match: atmosphere and geosphere
