Question

1. living oceans: food web

match the following terms with the correct description.
glaciers, lakes, the ocean, rivers, and streams
trees, humans, flowers, sting rays, fish, crabs, and monkeys
fossils, earths mantle, continental and oceanic crusts
oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide
atmosphere biosphere geosphere hydrosphere

Explanation:

• Glaciers, lakes, the ocean, rivers, and streams: These are all water - based components. The hydrosphere encompasses all water on Earth, so this matches the hydrosphere.
• Trees, humans, flowers, sting rays, fish, crabs, and monkeys: This group consists of living organisms. The biosphere is the part of Earth where life exists, so this matches the biosphere.
• Fossils, Earth’s mantle, continental and oceanic crusts: These are related to the solid Earth. The geosphere includes the solid parts of the Earth (lithosphere, mantle, etc.), so this matches the geosphere.
• Oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide: These are gases in the air. The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding the Earth, so this matches the atmosphere.

Answer:

• Glaciers, lakes, the ocean, rivers, and streams: Hydrosphere
• Trees, humans, flowers, sting rays, fish, crabs, and monkeys: Biosphere
• Fossils, Earth’s mantle, continental and oceanic crusts: Geosphere
• Oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide: Atmosphere
