The document discusses the four main spheres of Earth - the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It provides details about each sphere, including that the atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. It surrounds Earth and provides moderate temperatures and protects the surface from radiation. The lithosphere is the rocky outer shell containing mountains and oceans. The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth like oceans, lakes, ice and groundwater. The biosphere describes where life can exist within the other spheres, including below the Earth's surface.

03 the four spheres
The document discusses the four primary spheres that make up planet Earth: the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. The lithosphere is the solid outer layer of the Earth and contains valuable resources. The hydrosphere is all the water on Earth, including oceans, lakes, ice and groundwater. The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding the Earth composed mainly of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases. It moderates temperatures and blocks solar radiation. The biosphere exists within the other spheres and is the zone where life can exist on Earth.
Earth's Spheres
The document discusses Earth's spheres which include the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, and anthroposphere. It explains that the spheres are closely interconnected, with changes in one sphere often causing chain reactions and changes in other spheres. An example is provided of a forest fire destroying plants, which leads to erosion, increased soil in water, higher turbidity, and impacts on water plants and animals, demonstrating the interactions between spheres.
U3L1 - Earth's Spheres
The document describes Earth's spheres which include:
- The geosphere (solid rocky part including crust and mantle)
- Hydrosphere (liquid water parts like oceans and rivers)
- Cryosphere (frozen water parts like ice and glaciers)
- Atmosphere (mixture of gases surrounding Earth)
- Biosphere (area where living things exist)
It explains that matter and energy constantly cycle between these spheres, and their interactions are essential for life on Earth. The spheres work together as a complex, interconnected system.
The 4 Spheres
The document discusses the four main spheres that make up the Earth's systems - the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. It aims to define each sphere and explain how they interact with each other. For example, it notes that volcanoes erupt, sending ash and gases into the atmosphere and biosphere. The document also provides definitions for key terms like weather, climate, and the layers of the atmosphere.
Earth as a system - Environmental Science
This document discusses Earth System Science (ESS), which studies the interactions between Earth's spheres. It identifies the six main spheres - atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, and anthrosphere. The spheres are closely interconnected, so a change in one sphere can trigger changes in others through events and interactions. Understanding these interactions is important for predicting outcomes, preparing for disasters, and assessing human impacts on the environment. ESS analyzes both natural and human-caused events to understand the connections between events and Earth's spheres.
spheres of the earth
The document discusses the four main spheres of Earth: the hydrosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. The hydrosphere is made up of water in all forms and covers 71% of the planet. The atmosphere is a blanket of air made up of 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen that protects the Earth. The lithosphere consists of rocks and soil that make up the uneven land surface. The biosphere overlaps all the other spheres and includes all life forms on Earth that depend on each other to survive.
The earth's four spheres
The surface of the earth is divided into four inter-connected spheres called "geo-spheres". These are the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Geologists, scientists and researchers discovered and classified life and material on or near the surface of the earth in these four spheres. The four spheres derived its names from the Greek words litho for stone, atmo for air, hydro for water and bio for life.

2) The biological component contains all living things that interact with physical factors to form ecosystems. It includes producers, consumers and decomposers.
3) The social component consists of human and animal populations and their social structures and interactions. Humans are social animals that establish laws and policies for societies.
Environment and its components,
The document discusses the components of the environment. It is divided into three main sections:
1) The physical component includes abiotic factors like soil, air, water, climate and temperature that determine habitat conditions. It is divided into atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere.
2) The biological component contains all living things that interact with the physical environment to form ecosystems. It includes producers, consumers and decomposers.
3) The social component consists of human and animal populations and their social structures and interactions. Humans are social animals that establish laws and policies for societies.
The Earth System.pptx
Earth system refers to Earth’s interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes.
The system consists of the land, oceans, atmosphere and poles.
It includes the planet’s natural cycles – the carbon, water, nitrogen, phosphorus, Sulphur and other cycles – and deep Earth processes.
Life too is an integral part of the Earth system
Reduce climate change
Ecological services generated by the living biosphere
Food production
Natural Resources
9 bio natural resources
The document discusses various natural resources and processes. It explains that the biosphere is the region where the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere interact to support life. It also describes the water cycle and oxygen cycle, noting that the water cycle involves the continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, land, and oceans through processes like evaporation and precipitation.
Q1 M2.pptx module 2 envi science
The document discusses the four main spheres that make up the Earth's system - the geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. It describes each sphere in detail, including what they contain and their interactions. The spheres - land, water, living things, and air - work together as a complex, interconnected system powered by both internal and external energy sources.
Q1-M1-PPT-Layers of The Earth.pdf
The document provides an overview of the learning targets and content covered in a Science 10 Quarter 1 Module 1 lesson on the anatomy of the Earth. Students are expected to describe the structure of the Earth's interior, understand how the lithosphere is affected by heat from the core, and explain how the core protects the planet. The lesson will cover the different layers of the Earth from the crust to the core and how convection currents in the mantle power the movement of tectonic plates at the surface.
