  1. Science Spheres By: Mercedes Winegar

  2. Hydrosphere • Water is in the air, on the land, between the rocks, and living things. • The motion of a rivers can be easily seen, while the motion of the water within lakes is less obvious. • The oceans currents are also affected by the motion of the atmosphere, or winds, above it. • The water in the hydrosphere is among the ocean, glaciers and ice caps, groundwater, surface water and water in the atmosphere . • During the water cycle, water changes from liquid to gas and back to liquid. • The hydrosphere consists of all of the Earth’s water.

  3. Biosphere • The biosphere extends to the upper areas of the atmosphere where birds and insects can be found. • The biosphere is where all of the trees, bugs, and animals live. • The biosphere is the one place where all of the other spheres of the planet work together. • If our planet were closer to the Sun, it might be too hot to support life. • Humans expect some of this energy arranging bricks and wood into buildings, like houses. • Energy from the sun is stored by plants.

  4. Lithosphere • Because the lithosphere is rigid, it cannot convict as the deeper mantle does. • There are several ways of estimating the thickness of the lithosphere. • Most places there is a small decrease in starting at depth in the upper mantle. • The lithosphere is located in the uppermost part of the upper mantle. • One can therefore can also think the lithosphere as a thermal boundary layer. • The lithosphere is defined as the strong, elastic layer of earth.

  5. Lithosphere • There are several ways to estimate the thickness of the lithosphere. • The lithosphere is the outer solid part of the earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. • It is about 100 km thick, although its thickness is age dependent. • It is below the crust is brittle enough at some locations to produce earthquakes by faulting. • The plate tectonics relies on the concept of the lithosphere. • Because of the lithosphere is rigid, it cannot any deeper then the mantle.

  6. Atmosphere • Plants draw water and nutrients from the soil and release water vapor in the atmosphere. • The atmosphere is just a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. • The layers interact , heat up, and it interact with the top layer of the earth’s crust. • It is a moving source of life for every creature on the planet. • The atmosphere is the air that surrounds earth. • Gravity, hold the atmosphere in it’s place.

  7. How the 4 sphere interact • The land interacts with the water hydrosphere. • The land interacts with the air atmosphere and climate. • The land interacts Lithosphere. • All the sphere interact with each other. • Plants (Biosphere) draw water (Hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil. • When humans or animals (Biosphere) eat the plants, they ecquire the energy originally captured by the plants.
