The five spheres of the earth are hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Lets start with the hydrosphere.
 * The hydrosphere has to do with all of the earths water. It includes all of the oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. the water covers 70% of earths surface. of that 70%, 97% is salt water. 3% is fresh. Only 2% is ice.


 * The cryosphere has to do with the frozen part of the earth system. It includes all of the frozen parts of the ocean.


 * The geosphere has to do with the interior of the earth, rocks and minerals, and all of the land-forms. The Earth has 5 different layers, core, inner core, mantle, outer core, and crust.


 * The atmosphere has to do


 * The biosphere has to do
