3 Identify that the biosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere contain examples of mixtures of elements and compounds Biosphere: where living organisms are found‚ since most living things are composed of cells therefore they contain complex carbon compounds. E.g. carbohydrates‚ fats Lithosphere: earth’s crust which contain many types of minerals (mixture sedimented with sand‚ soil & rock) most abundant compound/mineral is quartz Hydrosphere: ‘hydro’ so water is most abundant compound

Earth science generally recognizes 4 spheres‚ the lithosphere‚ the hydrosphere‚ the atmosphere‚ and the biosphere as correspondent to rocks‚ water‚ air‚ and life. Some scientists include‚ as part of the spheres of the Earth‚ the cryosphere (corresponding to ice) as a distinct portion of the hydrosphere‚ as well as the pedosphere (corresponding to soil) as an active and intermixed sphere.
