Exploring the Spheres of Earth

The video explores Earth's interconnected systems, known as spheres: atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. Each sphere plays a crucial role in maintaining Earth's balance and supports life. The atmosphere regulates temperature and weather, the hydrosphere encompasses all water, the geosphere includes rocks and minerals, and the biosphere contains all living organisms. The video emphasizes the interdependence of these spheres and concludes with a recap and a preview of the next lesson on cycles within these spheres.

What is the result of changing one part of Earth's spheres?

• It can cause changes across the entire world.

• It changes only that specific part.

• It only affects the human-made environment.

• It has no significant impact.
