                   GAS: What is a gas?    What sphere is made
                                          mostly of gases?











                   LIQUID: What is a liquid?  What sphere is made
                                          mostly of liquid water?








                                          What subsphere of Earth  Geothermal energy       Not encountered by humans.

                                          liquid rock?

                   SOLID: What is a solid?  What subsphere is made
                                          mostly of water ice?










                                          What sphere is made
                                          mostly of solid rock
                                          (besides water ice)?









                   SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, AND   What sphere consists of
