1
New cards

Troposphere

It is where weather, clouds, and life exists. (0-12 KM altitude range).

2
New cards

Stratosphere

The home of the ozone layer, it blocks UY rays and planes fly here. (12-50 KM altitude range)

3
New cards

Mesosphere

The clodest layer where meteors burn up. (50-85 KM altitude range)

4
New cards

Thermosphere

The layer where it's super hot but feels cold — auroras happen here. (85-600 KM altitude range)

5
New cards

Exosphere

It is very thin and at the edge of space — this is where satellites orbit. (600 KM up to 10,000 KM+)

7
New cards

Atmosphere

Regulates climate, weather, and breathable air.

8
New cards

Hydrosphere

All the water on the earth — oceans, seas, lakes, glaciers, rivers, and groundwater.

This support life, influences weather, and shapes landscapes.

9
New cards

Lithosphere

The solid outer layer of the earth. Consists of crust — continental and oceanic and the uppermost part of the mantle.

10
New cards

Biosphere

All ecosystems and living organisms on the earth — plants, animals, and microorganisms.

The biosphere sustains life and drives biogeochemical cycles.

11
New cards

Cryosphere

The frozen parts are of the earth — glaciers, ice caps, sea ice, and snow.

The cryosohere reflects sunlight (albedo effect), regulateds global temperature, and store freshwater.

12
New cards

Geosphere

The solid earth — crust (continental and oceanic), mantle (upper and lower mantle), core (inner and outer core).

The geosphere provides resources (like minerals, and metals) and drives geological processes.
