Elements of the geosphere include the surface
rocks and soils as well as Earth’s interior.
The role of Earth’s soil is the focus of this module.
Soil is a sub-sphere of the geosphere with its own
name: the pedosphere.

Elements of the hydrosphere include all bodies of
surface water as well as ground water.
Earth’s solid water is part of the hydrosphere but is
also considered a sub-sphere with its own name: the
Cryosphere.

Elements of the biosphere include all living plants
and animals, from the smallest single celled
organisms to the largest trees and animals on the
planet.

Elements of the atmosphere include several
different gases (nitrogen and oxygen in the greatest
abundance) as well as clouds, water vapor, and
solid particles such as dust and pollen.

A key concept of the Earth system is that matter
and energy cycle constantly between spheres and
between elements of a sphere.
What interconnections between the spheres do
you think are happening here?
