  1. Earth Spheres

  2. Earth Spheres • Define each: • Geosphere/Lithosphere • Atmosphere • Hydrosphere • Biosphere • Anthrosphere

  3. Geosphere/Lithosphere • The rocks, mountains, lithospheric plates, and other physical features of Earth, except for water.

  4. Atmosphere • The gaseous envelope of air surrounding Earth, made up of a mixture of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and 1 percent other gases and water vapor.

  5. Hydrosphere • All water in the Earth system – gaseous (water vapor), solid (snow and ice), and liquid ( rain and water).

  6. Biosphere • All living organisms in the Earth system and their environments.

  7. Anthrosphere • The human component of the earth system.

  8. Affects on the Earth Spheres • How might an increase in rainfall in an area affect each of the Earth Spheres? • Geosphere/Lithosphere • Atmosphere • Hydrosphere • Biosphere • Anthrosphere
