Study Notes
Earth's Spheres Overview
-
Geosphere
- Encompasses rocks, sediments, and landscapes.
- Involves processes that occur inside the Earth, including tectonic activity and erosion.
-
Biosphere
- Represents all living organisms on Earth.
- Encompasses ecosystems, biodiversity, and interactions between organisms and their environments.
-
Atmosphere
- Composed of a mixture of gases and small particles.
- Exists above Earth's surface and is essential for weather, climate, and life support.
-
Hydrosphere
- Includes all forms of water on Earth, both solid (ice) and liquid.
- Essential for sustaining life and influencing climate patterns.
-
Lithosphere
- Responsible for the solid components of the planet, including the crust and upper mantle.
- Fundamental to geological processes such as volcanism and mountain building.

Description
Test your knowledge by matching each of Earth's spheres - Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Atmosphere, and Lithosphere/Geosphere - to the correct picture and description. Identify the mixture of gas and small particles above the Earth's surface, the solid portions of the Earth, all water in solid and liquid states, and all living things on Earth.
