Explanation:

Earth scientists now think of the Earth as a complex system with a number of parts, called "spheres". The geosphere is the crust, mantel and core; the hydrosphere is all the water on the planet, cryosphere is the frozen ice on the world, atmosphere are the gases, and the biosphere is life.
