The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.

The small intestine has three parts. The first part is called the duodenum. The jejunum is in the middle and the ileum is at the end. The large intestine includes the appendix, cecum, colon, and rectum. The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch attached to the cecum. The cecum is the first part of the large intestine. The colon is next. The rectum is the end of the large intestine.

Each sentence describes an interaction between two of Earth’s spheres. Match each sentence with the spheres that are interacting

galina1969 [7]

The answers would be the following:

Geosphere and hydrosphere - water vapor condenses on a glass.

Hydrosphere and biosphere - Grady swims in the ocean.

Biosphere and atmosphere - Lena takes a deep breath

Atmosphere and geosphere - gusty winds weather sandstone in the desert.

If you'd like to know why:

Geosphere involves the solid part of the Earth, so that would mean it involves the rocks, land, and the like.

Hydrosphere involves water, your clue there would be hydro, which means water.

Atmosphere involves the air around us, which includes winds.

Biosphere refers to the biotic components. Bio means life, so we consider living things here.

Now all those spheres interact with each other, and it is through this interactions that our world is formed and how our Earth is able to sustain life.

Taking into consideration the features of each sphere, you can see that Grady is a living organism and the ocean is made up of water.

Hence, hydrosphere and biosphere are interacting.

Lena is a living organism, and she is breathing in air.

Hence, biosphere and atmosphere are interacting.

Water vapor is made up of water, and glass is a solid found on Earth. (Not really a good example of interaction between these two spheres)

Hence, hydrosphere and geosphere are interacting. 

Lastly, gusty winds is part of the atmosphere and sandstone is a type of rock.

Hence, Geosphere and atmosphere are interacting.
