Biosphere (living), Lithosphere(solids, rocks, sands etc), Atmosphere (gases, air), Hydrosphere (water from the ocean, lakes etc).

Firstly, the biosphere is any zone where life can exist. This means the lithosphere (humans), hydrosphere (fish) and atmosphere (birds) are all appropriate areas for living organism to habituate (is that the right word?). Living organisms need the three spheres (lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere) to live. Humans are a prime example needing the gas composition of the atmosphere to breathe, the lithosphere to reside and the hydrosphere to consume and utilise their most important compound - water.

The Lithosphere contains many minerals, elements and compounds that are utilised by living organisms (the biosphere), particularly humans examples being coal, oil, natural gas.

The Hydrosphere and Atmosphere correlate in the water cycle - evaporation (water from the hydrosphere accumulating in the atmosphere), condensation and precipitation (water vapour from the atmosphere changing into rain falling into the hydrosphere).

I don't know if that answers the question :S
