Because BIOSPHERE is life.

So, if the biosphere goes


missing there would be no life. Fair enough.
HYDROSPHERE is all the water of our planet. Most of
this is in our oceans. The fraction that isn’t seawater is
mostly locked in glaciers and ice caps or is in the ground.
Only a tiny bit of our planet’s water is what we see in
lakes, rivers, clouds, rain and living tissues. All life on
Earth requires water. Without a hydrosphere, all life
would die out and GEOSPHERE makes up the bulk of the
mass of our planet. It’s the ground, the rocks. Mountains,
volcanoes, sand, and pebbles. If all of this were to
disappear, there wouldn’t be much of our planet left.
Without the mass of the geosphere, the atmosphere
would quickly escape into space. So would the
hydrosphere. Without those, life doesn’t have much of a
chance. Maybe a few microbes could survive on some bit
of ice that remains, but not much else, if that.
And the ATMOSPHERE of our planet is what we can air.
It’s mostly Nitrogen and Oxygen with small amounts of
Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, Ozone, Methane
and a few other gases. Life on Earth has heavily modified
the atmosphere over the last four billion years. Because
of life, oxygen and methane levels are far higher and
carbon dioxide levels are far lower than they would be
otherwise. Life relies on these gases and few life forms
can survive without it. With that said, some ecosystems
exist on the ocean floor that do not directly rely on the
atmosphere. So I’m tempted to say that this is a sphere
Earth could lose and still maintain life. Except for one
problem. The atmosphere also provides atmospheric
pressure. Without it, Earth would be in a vacuum. That’s
bad for oceans because they would rapidly start boiling
away. No oceans means no sea floor ecosystems. So,
Everybody Dies in this case too.

Basically, life on Earth needs all of these spheres to


survive. It evolved to rely on them. You can’t just remove
one without making the whole system crash.
