Question
1. Twelve generic types of interactions are possible among the four spheres of the Earth. Match the following with the corresponding examples A.B. C.D. Changes in the solid A. As mountains grow, wind patterns change Earth perturb the biosphere B. As the volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawaii create new land from lava, the once lush rainforests and abundant villages decline due to rich soil becoming hard volcanic rock A. C. D. Changes in the atmosphere perturb the hydrosphere C. A once lush rainforest turns to a lifeless A. C. D. Changes in the solid desert due to a change in the average yearly rainfall in the region Earth perturb the atmosphere D. As the air temperature deceases, less water A. B. C.D. Changes in the evaporates, changing rainfall and stream flow hydrosphere perturb the biosphere rates 2. You're taking a stroll in Illinois and you find an unknown mineral! You perform some basic tests of the mineral's physical properties. Analyzing your data below, what mineral did you find? Color: Purple, Lilac (slightly transparent) Luster: Vitreous (glassy) Cleavage: Four Planes (perfectly cleaved it forms a double pyramid) Fracture: Irregular and brittle Streak: White Hardness: Mineral scratches a copper penny but can be scratched by a steel file and a knife blade Apatite Feldspar Gypsum - Fluorite 3. Although all minerals have an orderly internal arrangement of atoms (crystalline structure), most mineral samples do not visibly demonstrate their crystal form. Why? Usually mineral growth is obstructed, often by rocks, so that the mineral is not able to grow freely showing its crystal form. The atomic crystalline structure is not able to form since its growth was obstructed Minerals cool too quickly for the full crystalline structure to grow and for us to visually see. The internal crystalline structure still exists at the atomic level, but it is just too small to see since it cooled too quickly and molted in shap Usually mineral growth is obstructed, often by rocks, so that the mineral is not able to grow freely showing its crystal form. The atomic crystalline structure still exists, but the bigger scale is unable to be freely constructed. - The mineral is too fine grained, so we cannot see the full crystalline structure. 0Explanation / Answer
1. Changes in the solid earth perturbe the biosphere C
Changes in the atmosphere perturbe the hyderosphere D
Changes in the solid earth perturbe the atmosphere A
Changes in the hydrosphere perturbe the biosphere B
2. Feldspar mineral have the all given physical properties.
3.. Most mineral forms do not visibly demosnstrate their crystal form because usually mineral growth is obstructed, often by rocks, so thatthe mineral is not able to grow freely showing its crystal form. The atomic crystalline structure is not able to form since its growth was obstructed
B. Changes in the solid earth perturb the atmosphere> hydrrosphere>biosphere interactions.
Volcanoes release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). Rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere). Particulate matter in the air (atmosphere) falls out, initially smothering plants (biosphere), but ultimately enriching the soil (geosphere) and thereby stimulating plant growth (biosphere).
