EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Another example of how the spheres affect each other is through erosion. Erosion happens in the desert when wind (atmosphere) shapes the sand in the geosphere. Water (hydrosphere) can also shape land, such as in the formation of the Grand Canyon.

Detailed explanation-2: -These layers are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The geosphere is the collective name for the earth’s atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere. The atmosphere is the space above the Earth’s surface. This includes the air that we all breath. The lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth such as rocks and mountains.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hydrosphere and the biosphere are closely linked, but the atmosphere and the lithosphere are not. The four spheres of Earth are strictly defined so they are not linked. No interactions take place between them.

Detailed explanation-5: -The geosphere includes all the rocks that make up Earth, from the partially melted rock under the crust, to ancient, towering mountains, to grains of sand on a beach.
