The Lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard, solid rock of the planet's crust, the hot semi-solid rock below the crust, the hot liquid rock near the center of the planet, and the solid iron core. The biosphere is the sphere that contains all of the Earth's living organisms. The organisms and crust interact through events between spheres, such as natural events like floods, shifts in the Earth's crust. Some event as such could create soil erosion resulting in decreased vegetation and increase death of organisms. <span>

Finding the areas of each of the rectangles and squares of the net of a rectangular prism and adding up those areas gives the surface area or total surface area of the prism. For example, if the length of one side of the cube 4 units then the area of one its face is 4 × 4 = 16 square units.
