The four spheres of the Earth system are highly interdependent causing interactionsbetween the spheres to have many cause and effect relationships. A change in one sphere can cause changes in another sphere, which may cause changes in yet another sphere.

Hydrosphere – The hydrosphere is the interconnected system of all of the liquid water on this planet. The process of the hydrologic cycle such as evapotranspiration, precipitation, and groundwater transport are all a part of the hydrosphere. Humans have become a large part of the hydrosphere too. We consume large quantities of water that has huge impacts on how this system works. Water is stored in oceans, lakes, streams, and rivers.
Lithosphere - The lithosphere is the Earth's solid portion. This includes all of the sediments that form the crust as well as the various layers of the Earth's interior.
Biosphere – This is the sphere in which all living things are a part of. The biosphere contains all of the plants, animals, and other living creatures that exist in our world. This is the sphere that distinguishes our planet from other planets.
Cryosphere – This is the system of the earth that includes all of the frozen, or solid, water of the earth. This includes all snow, ice, glaciers, icebergs, and the arctic climate. The Cryosphere is sort of like a sub sphere of the hydrosphere. This sphere places an important roll in our global climate. It is also a key indicator of climate changes such as global warming.
Anthrosphere – The anthrosphere is the system of humanity. This includes all of the places and things we have built and constructed such as the roadways and buildings in our cities or the farm fields in our rural towns. Every manmade creation, as well as man himself is a part of the anthrosphere
all of the spheres are interconnected. All six spheres can exist in one particular location at any given moment in time. The spheres are also dependent on each other. A change in one sphere will result in a change in another. For example, volcanic activity can transfer water from the lithosphere to the atmosphere. Then the water is transferred into the biosphere when a field of corn soaks it up after a good rain. Then the corn enters the anthrosphere where it is processed for human consumption. After consumption, it will enter the lithosphere again. So hopefully you can see that everything we do on this planet affects something else (even if we can't see it, or the effect isn't noticed for years). You can also imagine that as the anthrosphere grows, the cryosphere and biosphere will shrink.
