Lithosphere Plate tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes, continental drift. Plate tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes, continental drift. The lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering the Earth. The lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering the Earth. It covers the surface of earth from the top of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. It covers the surface of earth from the top of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The lithosphere is divided into a lot of crustal plates that is what a plate tectonic is. The lithosphere is divided into a lot of crustal plates that is what a plate tectonic is. The phenomena connected with volcanoes and volcanic activity is what volcanism is. The phenomena connected with volcanoes and volcanic activity is what volcanism is. A series of movement in the Earth’s crust is an earthquake. A series of movement in the Earth’s crust is an earthquake. The lateral movement of continents resulting from the motion of crustal plates is the continental drift The lateral movement of continents resulting from the motion of crustal plates is the continental drift

Hydrosphere The water cycle, what the hydrosphere consist of ( rivers, aquifers, and precipitation) The water cycle, what the hydrosphere consist of ( rivers, aquifers, and precipitation) The hydrosphere is composed of all water on or close to the earth. The hydrosphere is composed of all water on or close to the earth. This includes the oceans, rivers, lakes, and even the moisture in the air. This includes the oceans, rivers, lakes, and even the moisture in the air. Ninety – seven percent of the Earth’s water is in the oceans. The hydrosphere is often called the “water sphere” Ninety – seven percent of the Earth’s water is in the oceans. The hydrosphere is often called the “water sphere” Water is found in vapor, liquid, and solid states in the atmosphere. Water is found in vapor, liquid, and solid states in the atmosphere.

Atmosphere Relationships between pressure and height, layers of the atmosphere, function of the atmosphere. Relationships between pressure and height, layers of the atmosphere, function of the atmosphere. The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases covering the core. The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases covering the core. The atmosphere protects live on earth without an atmosphere there would be no live on Earth. The atmosphere protects live on earth without an atmosphere there would be no live on Earth. The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. The atmosphere blocks some of the sun’s dangerous rays. The atmosphere blocks some of the sun’s dangerous rays.

Biosphere The part of the Earth’s crust, waters, and atmosphere that supports life. The part of the Earth’s crust, waters, and atmosphere that supports life. It includes between 3 and 30 million kinds of plants, animals, and fungi. It includes between 3 and 30 million kinds of plants, animals, and fungi. The biosphere extends over the Earth’s surface in a thin layer. The biosphere extends over the Earth’s surface in a thin layer. The biosphere is a life supporting global system. The biosphere is a life supporting global system. The ecosystem is all living things on Earth The ecosystem is all living things on Earth

The Interaction Water in the oceans today evaporates into the atmosphere tomorrow Water in the oceans today evaporates into the atmosphere tomorrow and falls as rain and creates puddles and lakes for all the animals to drink and falls as rain and creates puddles and lakes for all the animals to drink

More facts on interaction of spheres Pollution - the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. Pollution - the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. Erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water. Erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water. Flooding- when to much water is located in one place Flooding- when to much water is located in one place
