lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere (most dense to least dense)
Climate and weather at their most extreme can make human habitation impossible, or at least extremely uncomfortable. Desert and polar climates do not have the liquid water, vegetation, and animal life necessary to sustain human existence. This is affected by the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
how is the earths crust related to the lithosphere
For the most part, no. Some water is present in the atmosphere in the form of clouds and water vapor, but water and ice are generally considered part of the hydrosphere. Rocks compose the geosphere or lithosphere.
AtmosphereThe atmosphere is the body of air which surrounds our planet. Most of our atmosphere is located close to the earth's surface where it is most dense. The air of our planet is 79% nitrogen and just under 21% oxygen; the small amount remaining is composed of carbon dioxide and other gasses. All four spheres can be and often are present in a single location. For example, a piece of soil will of course have mineral material from the lithosphere. Additionally, there will be elements of the hydrosphere present as moisture within the soil, the biosphere as insects and plants, and even the atmosphere as pockets of air between soil pieces.
The troposphere is the most dense since it is closest to the surface of the earth and has the highest pressure.
There are four, actually. They are the biospere, hydrospere, lithosphere, and the atmosphere, the most commonly mentioned one.

The hydrosphere is the liquid layer of the planet Earth, consisting primarily of the oceans. It covers most of the Earth. Above it is the atmosphere, and below it is the lithosphere which is a layer of rock. Some of the lithosphere is exposed, since water does not cover the entire surface. The exposed portion is known as dry land.
how is the earths crust related to the lithosphere
There are four major spheres of the Earth, which are lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. The atmosphere is divided into five layers, which are (in order from closest to surface to furthest from surface) troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.
For the most part, no. Some water is present in the atmosphere in the form of clouds and water vapor, but water and ice are generally considered part of the hydrosphere. Rocks compose the geosphere or lithosphere.
Troposphere is the most dense part because it is at the bottom of the atmosphere.
The atmosphere should have the greatest impact on the other Earth spheres if the atmosphere were catastrophically damaged. If the atmosphere turned poisonous or something, most living organisms will die. So, this damaged air will affect the biosphere. So, with the biosphere damaged from the atmosphere, it will affect the lithosphere. The affected lithosphere would obviously ruin the rocks and minerals on the Earth. With both lithosphere and atmosphere damaged, the hydrosphere would become damaged also because of the poisonous air and a non-healthy Earth.
The hydrosphere refers to all of the water found on, under and over the surface of the planet. A lithosphere is the outermost shell of a planet, including the crust and upper mantle. Combined, they form most of the surface of the planet. As such, any number of animals live in the oceans or on the surface.
