Which about the ocean system can be answered only if components of other systems are included

What gravitational forces act on the ocean?

Which can be best answered by thinking Earth as a system of interconnected parts?

How is heat transported from the equator to the poles?, effects of change in global wind patterns be observed?, Earth's early life forms in evolution of earth atmosphere?

What do ice core samples in Antarctica reveal about Earth?

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere.

Why is it important for scientist to study systems on Earth instead of studying the separately?

observe how parts of different systems affect each other

Coral bleaching is evidence of what change?

An increase of water temperature

Which statement explains the type of system Earth is?

closed system; energy but not matter flows in and out of it.

Banded iron formation is evidence for which statement about Earth 2.6 billion years ago?

The atmosphere and oceans contained much less oxygen.

Which of these occurs because of instability in the Earth's atmosphere?

Thunderstorms form and dissipate

How is heat transported from the equator to the poles?
How much water in Earth's hydrosphere may have come from?
effects of change in global wind patterns be observed?
Earth's early life forms in evolution of earth atmosphere?
3
What do ice core samples in Antarctica reveal about Earth?
Variation in the thickness of atmospheric ozone.
Changes in the composition of the atmosphere.
The increasing and decreasing cycle of sea level
The rate of surface ice melting due to global warming.
4
Why is it important for scientist to study systems on Earth instead of studying the separately?
get a better sense of what the boundaries of the system are.
avoid errors; processes are similar in different systems
observe how parts of different systems affect each other
save time by studying similar parts of more than one system.
5
Coral bleaching is evidence of what change?
A decrease in ocean salinity
An increase of water temperature
A decrease in sea level
An increase in dissolved carbon dioxide
6
Which statement explains the type of system Earth is?
open system; both matter and energy flow into and out of it.
closed system; energy but not matter flows in and out of it.
shielded system atmosphere reflects materials that strike it
isolated system; it is separated in space from other objects
7
Banded iron formation is evidence for which statement about Earth 2.6 billion years ago?
Bits of magnetite in ocean produced Earth's magnetic field
The atmosphere and oceans contained much less oxygen.
The locations of the ocean currents were much further north.
Green plants where unable to photosynthesis at the time.
8
Which of these occurs because of instability in the Earth's atmosphere?
A lake becomes warmer in daytime
A boulder cracks when a tree root grows near it
Tectonic plates collide and form mountains
Thunderstorms form and dissipate
