Lithosphere/Geosphere: Rocks, Sand
Atmosphere: Air
Biosphere: Plants, Animals
Hydrosphere: Water (e.g., rivers, lakes).
Engaging in the "Spheres of the Earth" activity involves categorizing 12 observed items into the distinct spheres that constitute the Earth's environment. The lithosphere or geosphere encompasses solid elements like rocks and sand, representing the Earth's rigid outer layer. The atmosphere sphere pertains to the surrounding air, showcasing the gaseous layer enveloping our planet.
Items associated with living organisms, such as plants and animals, fall into the biosphere category, illustrating the interconnected web of life. Meanwhile, the hydrosphere includes water-related features like rivers and lakes, highlighting the Earth's dynamic aquatic systems. This activity fosters an understanding of the Earth's diverse spheres and their interplay in shaping the planet's environment.
