Earth is made up of four systems: atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and blosphere. While each sphere covers a different
component of the planet, they are closely related to each other and interact often. An event in one sphere can cause dramatic
changes in another. Carbon is an element with a critical role in all four spheres. A student draws a model of the four spheres in
relation to the carbon cycle.
