Interactions of Earth's Spheres

The video explains Earth's four main spheres: geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, focusing on the hydrosphere. It details how the hydrosphere interacts with the geosphere through erosion and deposition, with the atmosphere via the water cycle, and with the biosphere by providing water essential for life. The hydrosphere's influence on climate, landforms, and life forms is highlighted, emphasizing its interconnectedness with other spheres.
