2.   -The geosphere is the Earth’s outer layer of crust. -It is the densest part of the Earth. -It is made up of minerals,rocks,and landforms. What is the Geosphere?

3.   The carbon cycle The cycles of the geosphere The cow eats and absorbs carbon. The cow exhales CO2. The plant absorbs oxygen. The plant gives oxygen.

4.  Features of the Geosphere Continents Tectonic PlatesEarthquakes Erosion Volcanoes Pacific/North America South America/African Evrasion/Antarctica North America South America Europe Asia Antarctica Africa Australia Exist along edges of tectonic plates About 90 percent of all volcanoes exist within the Ring of Fire About 1,900 volcanoes on Earth are considered active A sudden movement of the earth's crust caused by the release of stress accumulated along geologic fault lines material is worn away from the earth's surface weathering, dissolution, abrasion, corrosion, and transportation

5.  Geosphere Interactions How does the Geosphere interact with other spheres? The volcano erupts A volcano cloud forms in the atmosphere The geosphere has many rocks The hydrosphere breaks down the geosphere(rocks)

6.  Geosphere Layers Geosphere Crust Mantle Core outermost layer hot layer of rock Earth’s center

7.  Human interactions with the Geosphere How do humans effect the Geosphere? Mining Metal ore is extracted from Earth at mines Trash Landfills form
