Slide 4 / 47 Define geosphere. 1 Slide 5 / 47 2 Where is the oldest part of the earth located? Slide 6 / 47 3 What are the four layers of the Earth? List them in order from the outermost to the innermost.

Slide 7 / 47 What are the layers of the earth made of? 4 Slide 8 / 47 5 Draw and label the layers of the earth. Slide 9 / 47 Homework: Geosphere

Slide 10 / 47 6 What is the top layer of the earth we live on called? What is it made of? Slide 11 / 47 7 What does the prefix “geo-“ mean? Slide 12 / 47 8 What factors caused different layers to form within the Earth?

Slide 13 / 47 9 What layer of the Earth is the deepest? Slide 14 / 47 10 Define soil. Slide 15 / 47 Classwork: Atmosphere

Slide 16 / 47 - 11 Define atmosphere. Slide 17 / 47 12 What is the air in the atmosphere made up of? Slide 18 / 47 13 What happens in the atmosphere the further away from earth you get?

Slide 19 / 47 14 What is the ozone layer and what does it do? Slide 20 / 47 15 Create a drawing or diagram of the rain shadow effect. Slide 21 / 47 Homework: Atmosphere

Slide 22 / 47 16 What does the prefix “atmo-“ mean? Slide 23 / 47 17 List the layers of the atmosphere from closest to earth to furthest. Slide 24 / 47 18 Describe how lifting occurs.

Slide 25 / 47 - 19 Why is the ozone layer so important to us here on Earth? What can happen if we receive too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation here on Earth? Slide 26 / 47 - 20 How is a wind funnel created? What impact does it have on the wind? Slide 27 / 47 Classwork: Hydrosphere

Slide 28 / 47 21 Define hydrosphere. Slide 29 / 47 22 What are the two different types of water here on Earth? What is the percentage of each type. Slide 30 / 47 23 What is surface water? Give three examples.

Slide 31 / 47 24 How does the ocean water help regulate temperature? Slide 32 / 47 25 Explain if the landforms found in the ocean are similar or different compared to landforms found on land. Give an example to support your claim. Slide 33 / 47 Homework: Hydrosphere

Slide 34 / 47 26 Give three examples of where water may be found in the hydrosphere. Slide 35 / 47 27 What percentage of water is actually “usable” by humans and other animals and where is it found. Slide 36 / 47 28 How do the oceans impact weather?
