    Which of the following is NOT one of Earth's four spheres?

    • Lithosphere

    • Ecosphere

    • Hydrosphere

    • Biosphere

    Correct Answer
    A. Ecosphere
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Ecosphere. The ecosphere is not one of Earth's four spheres. The four spheres are lithosphere (which includes the solid outer layer of the Earth), hydrosphere (which includes all water on Earth), atmosphere (which includes the air and gases surrounding Earth), and biosphere (which includes all living organisms on Earth). The ecosphere is not a recognized scientific term or sphere.

    From solid to water is.....

    • Sublimation

    • Deposition

    • Condensation

    • Evaproation

    Correct Answer
    A. Condensation
    Explanation
    Condensation is the process in which a gas or vapor changes into a liquid. In this case, the question is asking about the change from a solid to water, indicating that the solid is being converted into a liquid form. Sublimation refers to the direct change from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid phase. Deposition is the reverse process of sublimation, where a gas changes directly into a solid. Evaporation refers to the change from a liquid to a gas. Therefore, the correct answer is condensation.

    Explanation
    The earth is farthest from the sun in July. This is because the earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse. The point in the orbit where the earth is farthest from the sun is called aphelion, and it occurs in July. In contrast, perihelion, the point where the earth is closest to the sun, occurs in January.
