  3. More Facts on the Atmosphere • The atmosphere is also referred to as air • Atmosphere is dry air contained roughly by volume

  4. Lithosphere • Definition: Solid portion of the earth • Is the outer shell of a rocky planet • Volcanism is the phenomenon connected to volcanoes and volcano activity. • When the continents move it’s called the continental drift. • All of the plate tectonics move different ways at different speeds • The plate tectonics move about how fast your fingernails grow

  5. Biosphere • Consists of combined portions of earth such as land, water, and air • Definition: Part of the earth’s crust, waters, atmosphere that supports life • Biological part of earth’s system • To say biosphere is to describe our living world

  6. Hydrosphere • Definition: The watery part of the earth’s surface. • The hydrosphere consists of all earth’s water sources such as: river, lakes, oceans , and ponds. • The parts of the water cycle in order are: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Then it starts all over again.

  7. More Facts of the Hydrosphere • The hydrosphere is also called the water sphere • The hydrosphere is always in motion just like the atmosphere
