The atmosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere make up the biosphere.
The part of the Earth where plants and animals live.
Biomes are different geographic regions that support life.

ActivityActivity
Use worksheets provided by teacher.Cut out the 4 circles representing the 4
different spheres of the Earth.Each sphere should be labeled
(atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere or biosphere).
Each sphere should include a description of the processes that affect that sphere and a picture representation.
