Environmental Atlas
Earth's Systems function as an intricate web of interactions which are constantly occurring between the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. The complex interaction between these spheres is what allows life to thrive on our planet. The spheres are all part of the same interconnected system, so ultimately a change made in one will result in a change in one or more of the other spheres.
As humans, we are part of the biosphere. However, our influence on the planet has become so great that the perspective of an anthrosphere gives meaning.
