The biosphere and energy
How do hydrosphere and Biosphere work together?
Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (geosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere). Humans (biosphere) harness energy from the water (hydrosphere) by having it spin turbines (geosphere, because the turbines come from metal ores in the ground) to produce electricity.
How does the biosphere store energy from the Sun?
Energy from the sun is stored by plants (biosphere). When humans or animals (biosphere) eat the plants, they acquire the energy originally captured by the plants.
What are the four major components of the biosphere?
The atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere and the biosphere represent four major global components of the world ecosystem. The biosphere is that part of the earth in which life exists. In other words, the sum of those portions of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere into which life penetrates is nothing but biosphere.
What is an example of a sphere interaction?
Example of Sphere Interactions. • Humans (biosphere) built a dam out of rock materials (geosphere). • Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (geosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere).
How is energy stored in the biosphere?
Humans (biosphere) use farm machinery (manufactured from geosphere materials) to plow the fields, and the atmosphere brings precipitation (hydrosphere) to water the plants. Energy from the sun is stored by plants (biosphere). When humans or animals (biosphere) eat the plants, they acquire the energy originally captured by the plants.
How does the biosphere interact with the geosphere?
When humans or animals (biosphere) eat the plants, they acquire the energy originally captured by the plants. Humans expend some of this energy arranging bricks and wood (geosphere and biosphere) into buildings. In each image, look for evidence of materials and energy moving among the spheres.
How are the four spheres of the earth interacting?
• With a partner, describe interactions in this scene, tracing the movement of materials or energy through all four of Earth's spheres if possible. Plants (biosphere) draw water (hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil (geosphere) and release water vapor into the atmosphere.
What are the processes that move matter from one sphere to another?
• The processes that move matter and energy from one sphere to another, we can call sphere interactions. LOOK AT THE PICTURE BELOW, IDENTIFY THE SPHERES AND AT LEAST TWO SPHERE INTERACTIONS…

the Sun are the energy source for almost all life on Earth. Although only a small fraction of the Sun’s energy reaches Earth’s surface, this is enough to sustain the biosphere. 1.2 The Biosphere and Energy All activities require a source of energy—a fuel. For example, to sustain a campfi re, you need to keep it supplied with wood.
