THE FOUR SPHERES OF THE EARTH

Earth has four spheres: Geosphere, Biosphere, hydrosphere and Atmosphere.

Geosphere: Geo comes from the greek word: “ground”.It is made up from the rocks and minerals.Volcanoes, canyons, beaches, mountains. Non-living things.

Biosphere: bio comes from the greek word for “life”. Living things.It is made up of biomes: region with similar plants, animals, terrains and climates.

There are two more spheres:

Hydrosphere and Atmosphere

Hydrosphere: Hydro comes from "Hydro" (wáter).All of the water on our planet. Salt wáter in the oceans and fresh wáter in lakes, rivers, glaciers.
Atmosphere: Atmos comes from the greek Word "air". Contains all of the gases on our planet. clouds, wind. It has many layers.Troposphere contains 80% of the air. Weather takes place here. Stratosphere, mesosphere, Thermosphere (we can find some satellites) and last Exosphere.

SIXTH SESSION: MOON PHASES

If the moon is lit by the sun we see it. The moon reevolves around the Earth once every 29 days.
When less than half of the moon is lit it is called "crescent".
When more than half of the moon is lit it is called "Gibbous"
waxing gibbous (luna creciente)
waning Gibbous (luna menguante).

There are 8 phases of the moon. (picture in minute 5:14).
