 * 1) Create a wiki page called EarthSystems codename.
 * 2) Copy the assignment and paste it on the page.
 * 3) Open Tux Paint on your computer. Draw 5 pictures demonstrating your understanding of the terms geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Save each of the pictures as you complete them.
 * 4) Open a new Open Office presentation document. Select the style that you want to use.
 * 5) Name the new document 6 lastname initial Earth Systems.
 * 6) Create a title slide called Earth Systems. Use your code name not your real name on the title slide.
 * 7) Insert 5 additional slides. On each of the slides insert one of your pictures that you created using Tux Paint. Add a title at the top of each slide and the definition of the term.
 * 8) Be sure to save frequently.
 * 9) Export the final document as a Macromedia Flash document.
 * 10) Go back to your wiki page. Click on edit. Then Click on the green File icon. Upload your Macromedia Flash version of your Earth System slide show.

There are five spheres, one is the geosphere, which is all the landforms on Earth. Cryosphere is all the ice on Earth. Hydrosphere is all the water on Earth. Atmosphere is all the air on earth. The biosphere is all the life on Earth. There are many ways spheres can interact with each other. Such as the biosphere interacting with the geosphere. The biosphere can interact with the geosphere by changing it, shaping it, or living in it. The hydrosphere can interact with the cryosphere because it can become the cryosphere (vice-versa). The atmosphere can interact with the biosphere because all the living things on Earth breathe air. All of them can interact with each other at once because all of them are on Earth (geosphere). There is water, ice, life, and air, and landforms on Earth.
