LithosphereThe lithosphere is the crust and upper mantle of the Earth. The lithosphere both affects and is affected by climate change. Climate change is causing the lithosphere to shrink, which alters the balance of land and water on our planet. Human activities are responsible for speeding up climate change, and we need to be careful not to harm the Earth more times than we can fix it.

Farrar, Chris. "Global Climate Change." AccessScience (n.d.): n. pag. US Geological Survey. Web. 13 Apr. 2016.
This site shows how climate change affects the lithosphere and the hydrosphere. It focuses on rising temperatures and increasing carbon dioxide levels and how they harm these spheres. This site is not likely to be biased because it presents information found through a study done by US Geology experts.

Crum, Shannon. "Effect of Urbanization on Climate and the Earth." N.p., n.d. Web. 13 Apr. 2016.
This site presents information on the effects of urbanization on climate and the lithosphere. It is not likely to be biased because the website was created to present information on a study that was done to find out if there was any correlation between climate change and urbanization.
