 * 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.

Earth has five spheres. The geosphere is the land of the earth. Then, the cyrosphere is the ice of the earth. After that is the hydrosphere, the water of the earth. Then, the atmosphere is the sky. Finally, the biosphere is the living things on earth such as humans. All of the spheres interact with each other in different ways. Such as the hydrosphere and cryosphere would carve the borders of the geosphere. The biosphere needs all of these as the hydrosphere will give it water, the ice can refrigerate the foods they need, air from the atmosphere, and the geosphere gives the living things on earth land to live on.
