Earth is made up of four main systems, called spheres, that work together to support life:
1. Geosphere (Land & Rocks)
o Includes mountains, soil, and Earth’s core.
o Erosion (like rivers carving canyons) changes the geosphere.
2. Hydrosphere (Water)
o Oceans, rivers, ice, and clouds.
o Ocean currents move warm/cold water, affecting weather.
3. Atmosphere (Air)
o Made of gases like oxygen.
o Protects Earth from the Sun’s heat and harmful rays.
4. Biosphere (Living Things)
o All plants, animals, and humans.
o Depends on the other spheres (e.g., trees need air, water, and soil).
Human Impact:
Harmful: Pollution, deforestation, overfishing.
Helpful: Planting trees (reforestation), protecting animals.
Deforestation: Cutting down large areas of forests and not replanting them.
Effect: Animals lose homes (habitats), and the air gets dirtier because trees clean it.
Overfishing: Catching too many fish from oceans or rivers faster than they give a birth .
Effect: Fish populations shrink, and some species disappear forever (extinct).
Reforestation: Planting new trees to replace ones that were cut down.
Effect: Helps animals, cleans the air, and protects soil from erosion.
Endangered animals: ( Sumatran Orangutan ,Mountain Gorilla, Hawksbill Turtle, Javan
Rhinoceros, African Elephant, Amur Leopard )
