Humans are part of the biosphere and our activities have important impacts on all of the Earth's systems.]]> 2018-10-08 19:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474654 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474655 We've added a lot of gas to our atmosphere, which traps more heat and makes Earth hotter. This results in glaciers melting in Antarctica and Greenland. Sea levels go up, and some extra CO2 in the air absorbed by the oceans, which acidifies them.]]> 2018-10-08 19:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474655 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474657 The hydrosphere is the ice, water vapor, and liquid water in the atmosphere, ocean, lakes, streams, soils and groundwater.]]> 2018-10-08 19:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474657 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474658 Earth's surface is about 70% covered in water.]]> 2018-10-08 19:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474658 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474659 The atmosphere is an envelope of gas surrounding the planet.]]> 2018-10-08 19:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474659 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290474660 (Tip - pause screen when graphic comes up and type below)

Solid, made mostly of iron and nickle, since these elements are heavy and sank to the "bottom" when it was formed. It is about 12 hundred kilometers in radius (10% the radius of Earth). Pressure high enough to remain solid.]]> 2018-10-08 20:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290476325 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290476987 Liquid, also composed mostly of iron and nickel. It can flow, and is 2200 kilometers thick. Pressure not high enough to keep iron solid.]]> 2018-10-08 20:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290476987 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290478847 The layer above the core, 2900 kilometers thick.

There are 2 types of crust: 
Oceanic crust- 5 kilometers thick
Continental Crust- 30-50 kilometers thick
Not a solid piece- broken up into huge plates, which can move due to the flow of the rock in the mantle]]> 2018-10-08 20:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290479998 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290482555 The layer of gas above the crust.

To be more specific, the magnetic field does. It also channels some of the particles down into the atmosphere, where it slams into molecules about 150 kilometers up, emitting different colored light. The glow is called the aurora.]]> 2018-10-08 20:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290485271 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290486048 Exerts a pressure on the surface of the Earth of about a kilogram per square centimeter. However, we don't feel it because it pushes from all sides of our body, and also because our body have an internal pressure that balances pressure outside out.]]> 2018-10-08 20:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290486048 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290486701 Most believe water came from the Earth itself and from meteors and asteroids that struck Earth.
"The eact proportion of locally sourced versus extraterrestrial water is still a topic of argument among scientists."]]> 2018-10-08 20:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290486701 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290487356 Makes up about 0.04% of the lower atmosphere, and is a trace gas. However, it is crucial to have, since it traps infrared light that would otherwise go into space, therefore keeping our planet warm. This is known as the greenhouse effect.]]> 2018-10-08 20:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290487356 myuan10 https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290489439 During the Industrial Revolution, lots of gases where thrown into the air. This increased the average temperature of Earth, and is known as global warming. This can affect the plants and animals that live (ex. sea levels rising, less space to live, more competition).]]> 2018-10-08 20:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/myuan10/obvyw8iaeypg/wish/290489439
