    The document outlines the four spheres that make up Earth's systems - the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere. The atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, with smaller amounts of gases like argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. The hydrosphere contains mostly salt water oceans but also fresh water in ice, groundwater, and rivers. The biosphere is made up of all living things, including animals, plants, bacteria and fungi. Finally, the lithosphere refers to Earth's crust and upper mantle, comprising both land and ocean floors.
