Q24 What are the four spheres into
which the environment can be
divided ? please give answer please I give Exam please​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The area near the surface of the earth can be divided into four interconnected spheres: lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Think of them as four interconnected parts that make up a complete system; in this case, of life on earth.

best of luck for your exam study well

Answer 2

Earth Is Divided Yet Connected

Earth is a very complex place. Although it looks like one large structure, it's actually got a lot going on that you may not see if you don't look closely. All of the processes on Earth are driven by four 'spheres,' which we describe individually, but are really all connected.

The names of each of these spheres come from Greek words that describe what they're made of: 'Geo' for 'ground,' 'hydro' for 'water,' 'bio' for 'life' and 'atmo' for 'air.' Let's look at each of the four spheres in a bit more detail to gain a better understanding of how they help make up the earth.

The Geosphere

Since 'geo' means 'ground,' the geosphere describes all of the rocks, minerals and ground that are found on and in Earth. This includes all of the mountains on the surface, as well as all of the liquid rock in the mantle below us and the minerals and metals of the outer and inner cores. The continents, the ocean floor, all of the rocks on the surface, and all of the sand in the deserts are all considered part of the geosphere. Basically, if it looks like solid ground, it's part of the 'ground' sphere.

The Hydrosphere

Knowing that 'hydro' means 'water,' you may have guessed that the hydrosphere is made up of all the water on Earth. This includes all of the rivers, lakes, streams, oceans, groundwater, polar ice caps, glaciers and moisture in the air (like rain and snow). The hydrosphere is found on the surface of Earth, but also extends down several miles below, as well as several miles up into the atmosphere.

Most of Earth's water is salty and in the oceans - about 97%. Two-thirds of the remaining 3% is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Only 1% of the hydrosphere is liquid freshwater, and even most of this exists as groundwater down in the soil.

The Biosphere

With the prefix 'life,' this means that Earth's biosphere is composed of all of the living organisms on the planet. This includes all of the plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and single-celled organisms found on Earth. Most of this life exists no deeper than about 10 feet into the ground or about 600 feet above it.
