  • The geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere and biosphere constantly exchange energy and matter, so a change in one affects the others.
  • For example, less snowfall (cryosphere) lowers lake water (hydrosphere) and reduces grass for animals (biosphere); warmer air (atmosphere) melts glaciers and threatens coastal life — a delicate balance.
