  1. Lesson: Characteristics of Earth LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of the Earth.

  2. WILF: LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. • State the spheres of Earth and their chemical composition. • State the layers of the atmosphere. • State the boundaries between the atmospheric layers.

  3. The Hydrosphere LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. • The layer of liquid water on Earth. • The hydrosphere consists of the oceans (~70%), lakes, streams, and rivers (~30%).

  4. Composition of the Hydrosphere LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. The chemical composition of the hydrosphere is mostly water. Therefore, it is mostly water and oxygen (H2O)

  5. The Lithosphere LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. The layer of rock that forms the solid outer shell at the top of Earth’s interior. Approximately 100 km thick and divided into sections called lithospheric plates. Upper portion is called the crust.

  6. The Lithosphere LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. • The chemical composition of the lithosphere differs based on mass vs. volume.

  7. The Atmosphere LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. The layers of gases that surround Earth above the surface of liquid water and rocky material.

  8. Composition of the Atmosphere LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. ~78% Nitrogen gas ~21% Oxygen gas Some aerosols (suspended liquids and solids)

  9. The atmosphere is the sphere furthest from… LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. The center of Earth. This is because the atmosphere is the least dense and Earth’s gravity pulls on it less than the other spheres.

  10. Layers of the atmosphere: LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere *Each layer has its own distinct characteristics: - Temperature - Composition

  11. The boundaries between the layers of the atmosphere are called… LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. • Pauses • Tropopause • Stratopause • Mesopause

  12. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. Which makes up most of Earth’s surface? 1) The atmosphere 2) The lithosphere 3) The hydrosphere

  13. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #2 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. The lower atmosphere and hydrosphere are bound to Earth by 1) Magnetic fields 2) Atmospheric pressure 3) The force of gravity 4) A molecular bonding at the interface

  14. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #3 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. Oxygen is the most abundant element by volume in Earth’s 1) Inner core 2) Crust 3) Hydrosphere 4) Troposphere

  15. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #4 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. What do the tropopause, stratopause, and mesopause all have in common? 1) Each is a point of maximum temperature in its layer of the atmosphere. 2) Each is an interface of two layers of the atmosphere. 3) Each is a region of increasing pressure within the atmosphere. 4) Each is a zone of decreasing water vapor content within the atmosphere.

  16. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #5 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. Which statement most accurately describes Earth’s atmosphere? 1) The atmosphere is layered, with each layer possessing distinct characteristics. 2) The atmosphere is a mass of gases surrounding most of Earth. 3) The atmosphere’s altitude is less than the depth of the ocean. 4) The atmosphere is more dense than the hydrosphere, but less dense than the lithosphere.

  17. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #6 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the properties of the spheres of Earth. The water sphere of Earth is known as the 1) Atmosphere 2) Troposphere 3) Lithosphere 4) Hydrosphere
