Biosphere
The biosphere is the sphere of living things. You probably would have guessed it by the prefix “bio” meaning life. Some examples of the biosphere are rainforests, ocean floors, and mountains.
People play a big role in maintaining the biosphere, even you. Everytime we use our carbon dioxide, which if found in gasses and burning fossil fuels, it increases the heat temperature of the Earth. Because of this, oceans are quickly flooding. This is because the icebergs are the only source of protecting the oceans and the carbon dioxide is melting them. When the heat touches the water, the water expands and creates a flood.
This is a picture of a flood that happened because of climate change.
However, we can still try and help. People have contributed by creating biosphere reserves all around the world. You can help by uncharging your devices when they don’t need to be charged, power your home with renewable energy, and turn off running sinks.
Hydrosphere
The hydrosphere is the sphere of all types of water in the Earth. Oceans, rivers, lakes, gaseous water, (water that is in gas form), icebergs, and even the water from your sink!
Atmosphere
We live under the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the air above us. 99 percent of the air is oxygen and nitrogen and the other percent is argon, carbon dioxide, helium, neon, water vapor, and dust.
Geosphere
The geosphere is Earth’s solid forms. It’s used with atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. So, it’s basically the collective name of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere.
Cryosphere
The cryosphere is the frozen part of the Earth’s system. An example of a place with a lot of frozen water is Antarctica and the Arctic. These places are so cold, that the water is solid.
Lithosphere
The Lithosphere is the solid outer part of Earth. This includes the upper portion of the mantle, the middle part of Earth, and the crust, the thick layer of Earth that sits beneath the continents.

So many spheres to remember. Lets just call it planet Earth instead.
Holy cow so much stuff to read
