00:10 earth is kind of like a puzzle and I don't
00:13 mean a puzzle . Like where did my brother put
00:15 my hairbrush or what exactly in the tacos they serve
00:19 on taco Tuesday . I mean that our planet is
00:21 made up of four very different parts that all work
00:24 together to make earth the lovely place that we know
00:26 it to be . We call these parts spheres .
00:29 And between them they contain all the stuff on our
00:31 planet . Everything from the fish in the ocean to
00:34 the air we breathe . Earth has four spheres .
00:37 The geo sphere , the biosphere , the hydro sphere
00:40 and the atmosphere . So what exactly are the spheres
00:44 ? And what's in them ? Let's take a look
00:50 at to the geo sphere and the biosphere up first
00:53 is the geo sphere . Geo comes from the greek
00:56 word for ground . You may have heard this before
00:59 in words like geology or geography . It basically means
01:02 having to do with the earth and in a way
01:05 the geo sphere is kind of like the skeleton of
01:07 our planet . All of the other spheres are built
01:10 on top of it . It's made up of all
01:12 the rocks and minerals on earth . From the biggest
01:14 boulders to the tiniest grains of sand and all of
01:17 the landforms that those rocks and minerals makeup are part
01:20 of the geo sphere . To , I'm talking volcanoes
01:23 , canyons , beaches , mountains , you name it
01:27 . If it's made out of solid earth , it's
01:29 part of the geo sphere . Now , it's important
01:31 to remember that the geo sphere includes only non living
01:35 stuff , living things do need to eat though ,
01:37 and all living things are part of another one of
01:40 Earth's fears . The biosphere bio is greek for life
01:44 and like Geo , you've probably heard it before in
01:47 words like biology , the study of life . The
01:50 biosphere is made up of many different bio mom's bio
01:54 msar regions that have similar kinds of plants , animals
01:57 and other living things that have adapted to live in
01:59 that particular regions , terrain and climate , deserts and
02:02 forests are types of bios . So are rain forests
02:06 , grasslands and wetlands . All of these by OEMs
02:09 and many more . Make up the biosphere . Okay
02:12 . Now that we know what's in these two spheres
02:14 , let's put them together and try to figure out
02:16 what belongs to which sphere . Mm . Imagine a
02:23 lovely forest meadow , a bird perched on a rock
02:27 chirping away , a deer standing in the tall grass
02:30 , a mountain standing tall in the background in a
02:32 stream flowing through the clearing . I can almost smell
02:36 it . Almost everything in this scene is part of
02:38 either the geo sphere or the biosphere . Let's see
02:42 if we can figure out which parts go into which
02:44 sphere . Let's start with the geo sphere . We
02:47 know that there's nothing alive in the geo sphere So
02:49 we can rule out all the plants and animals .
02:52 Water is also part of a different sphere . But
02:54 we'll talk about that later when we take away the
02:56 living things were left with all the solid earth parts
02:59 of the scene . The rock , the bird was
03:01 standing on the soil , the grass was growing out
03:03 of the mountain in the distance and the bed ,
03:06 the stream water flowed through . So what we're left
03:08 with is the geo sphere , Rocks , soils and
03:12 landforms . Got it . Now let's think about the
03:14 biosphere . Unlike the geo sphere , everything in the
03:18 biosphere is alive . So the rocks , the mountain
03:21 in the stream , they don't count . Now we're
03:23 just left with the living things , the grass ,
03:26 the birds , the deer , voila , you found
03:29 the biosphere . So now , you know , two
03:35 of Earth's four spheres , the biosphere and the geo
03:38 sphere . While they're different puzzle pieces of Earth ,
03:41 they work together to help make our planet what it
03:44 is . Okay , now I gotta go find where
03:47 my brother put my hairbrush .
