11. Match each layer (or envelope) of the earth to the proper description. Descriptions
Envelope
a) The layer of gas that surrounds the planet.
•
• Biosphere
b) The layer that contains all of Earth’s water
•
• Atmosphere
c) The layer of solid rock including all elements of relief.
•

12. Which form of energy is associated with light energy? _______________________
Match the statements with the property of light that is being described. Statement
Property of Light
a) Light cannot curve around an obstacle.
•
•
b) When light hits an obstacle it can be redirected in another direction.
•
•
c) A rainbow will form when it is sunny and there are water droplets suspended in the atmosphere.
•
•
d) When light rays come into contact with an object • they can be transformed into thermal energy. e) If the sun were to disappear it would take 8 minutes for the last light rays to reach the • Earth.
•
•
When light comes into contact with an object, some of the rays are absorbed and some of the rays are reflected. Light rays travel in straight lines. Light is also called “luminous energy”. Light travels extremely fast. White light is a mixture of all the colours (ROYGBIV)
