Earth's Systems: Interactions Between Geosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Atmosphere

The video explores Earth's four systems: geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. It explains each system's components and importance, and how they interact with each other. Examples include the geosphere's role in forming landscapes, the hydrosphere's water cycle, the biosphere's living organisms, and the atmosphere's protective layers. The video concludes with scenarios illustrating system interactions.
