Earth’s Interconnected Cycles

Earth's systems—atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere—are interconnected, forming a complex whole. The atmosphere provides essential gases and protection, the hydrosphere covers Earth's water, the biosphere encompasses all life, and the lithosphere includes Earth's crust and mantle. These systems interact, influencing each other and maintaining life on Earth.
