  1. Geosphere By Sebastian

  2. What is the Geosphere? • -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.

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

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

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

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

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