Earth science is the study of the Earth's

structure, properties, processes, and four and a

half billion years of biotic evolution.

THE SPHERE OF EARTH
MAGNETOSPHERE

Earth is surrounded by a system of

magnetic fields, called the
magnetosphere. The magnetosphere
shields our home planet from harmful
solar and cosmic particle radiation, but it
can change shape in response to incoming
space weather from the Sun.
THE SPHERE OF EARTH
ATMOSPHERE

Earth's atmosphere is composed of about

78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and one
percent other gases.
THE SPHERE OF EARTH
HYDROSPHERE

The hydrosphere includes water that is on

the surface of the planet, underground,
and in the air.
CRYOSPHERE is the frozen water part of
the Earth system.

HYDROSPHERE

The Distribution of water on earth.

THE SPHERE OF EARTH
LITHOSPHERE

The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of

Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle
upper portion of the mantle and the crust,
the outermost layers of Earth's structure.
THE SPHERE OF EARTH
BIOSPHERE

The biosphere is made up of the parts of

Earth where life exists—all ecosystems.
