Assignment
Students will differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere


 * 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.
 * 11) Save the page.

They're 5 spheres and that is hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. The first one is hydrosphere. Hydrosphere is water and it's all around the world. It includes the oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. It covers about 70% of the earth's surface. 97% of earth's water is salt water. 3% is fresh water. 2% of all water on earth is ice and 1-30% of fresh water is ground water. The next one is cryosphere. Cryosphere is water that is turned into ice. 2% of water on earth is ice. Samething as the first information we talked about. Ice floats on water when a mountain of ice falls it goes into the water and drifts away. Cryosphere forms when there are a lot of cold winds it starts to freeze just like a ice cream. The 3rd one is geosphere. Geosphere is the study of earth's part.
