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.
