Welcome to Bioclass Bites! • Because matter exists in so many different chemical and physical forms, most materials occur in all four of Earth’s major spheres—geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Water, for example, is chemically bound into clays and other minerals as a component of the geosphere. It is the primary constituent of the hydrosphere and exists in the atmosphere as vapor and clouds. Water is also an essentialpart of all living organisms. Salt is another example. Thick layers of salt occur as chemical sedimentary rocks; large quantities of salt are dissolved in the oceans; salt aerosols are suspended in the atmosphere; and salt is an essential component of life. • As we can see, all the spheres continuously exchange matter and energy. In our study of Earth systems, we categorize the four separate spheres and numerous material cycles independently, but we also recognize that Earth materials and processes are all part of one integrated system.
