To Identify and Discuss the “Spheres” of the
Earth
You Will Write and Discuss the Information and Ideas That Are Presented
Goals
We can think of the Earth as being divided into
4 distinct areas Hydrosphere- all of the water on the planet Atmosphere- the layer of gas around the planet Biosphere- all life and anywhere life exists on
the planet Lithosphere- the solid parts of the planet
Surface of the Earth
When we study the “Wet Earth,” we will be
looking at- The Oceans (Arctic, Indian, Atlantic, Pacific)
Hydrosphere
We will also look into the Interaction of the
Hydrosphere with the other “Spheres” Erosion Weather Making rocks and resources
Hydrosphere
As we study the Atmosphere, we will look at
The composition and structure of the atmosphere
Atmosphere
As we study the Atmosphere, we will look at
How it has changed through History and where it is possibly headed in the future
Atmosphere
As we study the Biosphere we will look at
How we, as living organisms, interact with all of the other spheres
