All living things on Earth are found on or near the solid outer layer of the planet's crust,

called the lithosphere . The hydrosphere , a layer of oceans, rivers and lakes, covers 75% of
the lithosphere. Compared to the size of the Earth, the lithosphere is only a thin layer,
several kilometers deep at most. The layer of air around the Earth is called the atmosphere .
The water cycle describes how water travels through the atmosphere, hydrosphere and
lithosphere. All living things need water; without the water cycle, life as we know it would
not exist.
Living things also need energy to survive. That energy comes from the sun as radiant energy.
It falls first on the atmosphere, then on the hydrosphere and lithosphere. But it's not
absorbed evenly over the entire Earth's surface, which causes different conditions in the
atmosphere at different places. The climate in the Amazon rainforest is very different from
the climate at the North Pole. We refer to the areas affected by these varying conditions of
the atmosphere as different climate regions.
Climate regions are the result of?
living things existing only on the lithosphere.
the thickness of the lithosphere.
how water travels through the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere.
sunlight being absorbed unevenly across the Earth.

Climate regions are the result of sunlight being absorbed unevenly across the Earth. This uneven absorption of solar energy leads to different atmospheric conditions, which in turn create the various climate regions found on our planet.
