Explanation:

4 Different Spheres of the Earth

Lets take a look at these four spheres of the earth in bit more detail to understand how they help make up the earth.

Hydrosphere (Water)

The hydrosphere includes all the gaseous, liquid, and solid water of the planet earth. The hydrosphere stretches all the way from the Earth’s surface downward numerous miles into the lithosphere and high above the crust into the atmosphere. Most of the water in the atmosphere is in gaseous form and as it rises higher into the atmosphere it condenses to form clouds which fall back on earth as precipitation.

All the water in the hydrosphere is always in motion just like the atmospheric gases. The natural earth features depicting the hydrosphere are the rivers, streams, lakes, seas, oceans and the water vapor. Glaciers, which are the slowly moving masses of ice, are also part of the hydrosphere. 97% of all earth’s water is salty. Oceans carry most of the salty water while the majority of lakes and rivers carry fresh water. The earth’s temperature is highly influenced by the hydrosphere.

Biosphere (Living Things)

All the living things in the planet are categorized under the biosphere. In this view, the biosphere includes all of the animals, plants, and microorganisms of earth. Humans as well belong to this group. The entire ecological communities within the physical surrounding of the earth are within the umbrella of living things (biosphere). These ecological communities interact together with the physical aspects of the earth including the hydrosphere, lithosphere, and the atmosphere.

Lithosphere (Land)

The lithosphere is made up of all the hard and solid land mass on the earth’s surface, the semi-solid rocks (molten materials) underneath the earth crust, and the liquid rocks in the inner core of the earth. The surface of the lithosphere is uneven as it is characterized by various landform features. Some of the landforms include mountains like the Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount Vesuvius in Italy, deep valleys within the mountain ranges, huge plains like the ones in Texas and Brazil, extensive plateaus like Bolivian plateau in South America and the Colorado plateau of the United States, and hills like the black hills.

Atmosphere (Air)

All the air in the atmosphere makes up the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 21%), and other gasses (about 1%) such as carbon dioxide (0.039%), argon (0.93%) and the rest are trace gases (krypton, neon, helium , and xenon). The higher the atmosphere, the thinner it becomes and this trait gradually moves towards space. The atmosphere extends all the way from the earth’s crust to more than 6200 miles (10,000 kilometers) above the earth’s surface into space. The atmosphere is divided into several layers and amongst the layers is the stratosphere that contains the ozone layer which protects the organisms in the biosphere from the sun’s harmful radiation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Environment

The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally, meaning in this case not artificial. The term is most often applied to the Earth or some parts of Earth.

Example - climate, air, water, energy, radiation, electric charge, and magnetism

Atmosphere

The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, commonly known as air, retained by Earth's gravity, surrounding the planet Earth and forming its planetary atmosphere.

Example -  air , gas , ozone and other layers

Biosphere

The biosphere is a global ecosystem composed of living organisms and the abiotic factors from which they derive energy and nutrients. Earth's environmental spheres. Earth's environment includes the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the biosphere.

Example - Oracle and Arizona

Lithosphere

A lithosphere is the rigid, outermost shell of a terrestrial-type planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.

Example - Rocky Mountain range

Hydrosphere

The hydrosphere is the combined mass of water found on, under, and above the surface of a planet, minor planet, or natural satellite. Although Earth's hydrosphere has been around for about 4 billion years, it continues to change in shape.

Example -oceans, lakes, seas and clouds
