Answer the questions below
Warm Up - Systems
We just explained why East Ferris is getting less rain than West Ferris. Today, we’ll read a book that can help them think about the situation on Ferris Island in a different way - by thinking about what caused the dinosaurs to go extinct many millions of years ago!
A system is a group of parts that work together.
Earth is a system because it has different parts that interact and work together - the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere.
Hydrosphere - all of the liquid water and ice Earth
Biosphere - all the living things on Earth
Atmosphere - the air that surrounds Earth
Geosphere - the solid part of Earth
For each example, choose if this is part of the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere or geosphere.

Labeling Earth System Interactions
Now we will add to a diagram of Ferris Island to show how the parts of the Earth system (atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere) interact to create the rain shadow effect.

C) Atmosphere - the air that surrounds Earth
D) Geosphere - the solid part of Earth
Number 1 on the diagram: Water evaporates from the ocean and turns from liquid water to water vapor
Choose which parts of the Earth system interact (work together) to create the rain shadow effect.
Choose all that apply (there maybe more than one correct answer)
A) Hydrosphere - all of the liquid water and ice Earth
B) Biosphere - all the living things on Earth
C) Atmosphere - the air that surrounds Earth
D) Geosphere - the solid part of Earth
Number 2 on the diagram: Wind blows water vapor into the mountain and up the side of the mountain.
Choose which parts of the Earth system interact (work together) to create the rain shadow effect.
Choose all that apply (there maybe more than one correct answer)
A) Hydrosphere - all of the liquid water and ice Earth
B) Biosphere - all the living things on Earth
C) Atmosphere - the air that surrounds Earth
D) Geosphere - the solid part of Earth
Number 3 on the diagram: Water vapor goes up high in the atmosphere and condenses to liquid water and rains down.
Choose which parts of the Earth system interact (work together) to create the rain shadow effect.
Choose all that apply (there maybe more than one correct answer)
A) Hydrosphere - all of the liquid water and ice Earth
B) Biosphere - all the living things on Earth

Number 5 on the diagram: People in West Ferris use a surface reservoir to collect extra rainwater. They also use groundwater.
Choose which parts of the Earth system interact (work together) to create the rain shadow effect.
Choose all that apply (there maybe more than one correct answer)
A) Hydrosphere - all of the liquid water and ice Earth
B) Biosphere - all the living things on Earth
C) Atmosphere - the air that surrounds Earth
D) Geosphere - the solid part of Earth
Number 6 on the diagram: The people of East Ferris only have groundwater to use, so they create a water shortage.
