The Four Spheres By: Jeremiah
Interaction of the Spheres • Water (hydrosphere) falls from the clouds and into the ground (lithosphere) and it form streams. • The land (lithosphere) creates erosion and it uproots plants (biosphere). • The hydrosphere evaporates and it forms clouds in the air (atmosphere). • The atmosphere can make rain with the hydrosphere and it can make streams with the lithosphere and make plants grow in the biosphere. • The trees (biosphere) make oxygen (atmosphere) through the leaves
Lithosphere • The lithosphere means “rocky areas” and inside of the earth. • It is about 100 km thick • The movement of this sphere causes something called a continental drift • Plate tectonics are also part of this sphere we can tell if an earthquake will happen by plate tectonics • Volcanism brings material from deep interior of a planet and spills it forth on this surface • The lithosphere is on the very top of the Earth.
Hydrosphere • The hydrosphere is the water in the Earth. • The water cycle is part of this sphere because it is part of the water in the Earth • The hydrosphere consists of moving the water up to the atmosphere and down into the lithosphere. • The word “hydro” means water • The hydrosphere’s job is the water in the Earth • The water covers 70% of the Earth
Atmosphere • The atmosphere has four layers, Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere • The blanket of air around the earth is called Atmosphere • The relation of pressure and height is if the location is high, there is less pressure, but if it is low there is a lot of pressure • The function of this sphere is that it protects the Earth from too much Sunlight • The atmosphere is a very effective shield for the earth • The air we breathe is made up of 78.09 percent nitrogen
Biosphere • Biosphere is all the plants and life in the Earth • The biosphere consists of all the living things • Scientists used the word biosphere to describe our living world • Chemical erosion changes on molecule at a time • Many things affect the biosphere in the earth, even today • The biosphere is one place where all the other spheres work together
