Question 47 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27

When a volcano erupts, tiny particles from which of Earth’s spheres are released into the air?

Answer
A
atmosphere
B
biosphere
C
geosphere
D
hydrosphere

Explanation

Volcanic particles such as ash and bits of rock come from Earth’s solid parts, including the crust. Those solid parts make up the geosphere, so the correct choice is geosphere. The atmosphere is where the particles are released, not where they originate.
