The Earth's Spheres relates to the division of the Earth into broadly four interacting spheres:

• Hydrosphere
• Biosphere
• Lithosphere
• Atmosphere^[1]

Other interpretations of this model of the Earth include the following additional spheres:

• Pedosphere (Soil)^[2]
• Geosphere
• Anthroposphere
• Cryosphere (Sometimes included in the hydrosphere)
