Question

prefixes and suffixes are important in science to help understand the meaning of words. what does the suffix \sphere\ mean? freshwater and saltwater round, 3 - dimensional object temperature of rocks molecules of air

Explanation:

The suffix "sphere" is a common term in scientific vocabulary. A sphere is a geometric shape that is perfectly round in three - dimensions. For example, the Earth is often referred to as a sphere (although it is actually an oblate spheroid). The other options:

• "freshwater and saltwater" is related to the hydrosphere (but the suffix alone "sphere" does not mean this).
• "temperature of rocks" has no relation to the meaning of "sphere".
• "molecules of air" is related to the atmosphere (again, the suffix alone does not mean this).

Answer:

round, 3 - dimensional object
