Which is an accurate label for one of the arrows in the diagram provided here of Earth’s system interactions?
X = Heavy rainfall causes a landslide on the side of a mountain.
Y = Strong winds move sand dunes in the desert.
W = Plants release carbon dioxide gas into the air.

8
The diagram provided here shows an interaction on the earth. Which of the following best represents this interaction?

10
Mountain ranges can have an effect on climate because –
mountains are continually being worn down by wind and water.
the tops of mountains are closer to the sun, so are warmer.
there are fewer plants growing near mountains to produce oxygen.
as air masses are forced upwards, they generally cool down.
11
Forest fires specifically affect the ___________ by releasing smoke and gas.
Hydrosphere
Geosphere
Biosphere
Atmosphere

Which of the following provides the best example of an interaction between the hydrosphere and the atmosphere?
Consistent patterns of wind change the shape of landforms.
Carbon dioxide gas is released into the air by living things.
Water vapor in the air is taken into plants through their leaves.
The oceans release heat energy that makes climate milder.
