The video tutorial covers Earth's four major spheres: atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. It explains the composition and significance of each sphere, including the atmosphere's role in protection and weather, the hydrosphere's water bodies, the geosphere's layers, and the biosphere's living organisms. The tutorial also discusses the inner core's solid state due to pressure and its role in creating Earth's magnetic field.

What is the primary function of Earth's atmosphere?

• To provide water

• To support plant growth

• To protect from the Sun and provide oxygen

• To create mountains

Why is the atmosphere less dense as you move away from Earth?

• Due to the presence of more gases

• Because of the decrease in pressure

• Because of the increase in temperature

• Due to the increase in gravity

Which of the following is part of the hydrosphere?

• Mountains

• Forests

• Rivers

• Deserts
