4 SUBSYSTEMS OF THE EARTH Final

The document summarizes the four main subsystems that make up the Earth: the atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It describes each subsystem in 1-2 sentences. The atmosphere is the gaseous layer composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen. The geosphere includes the solid rocks and minerals of the planet. The hydrosphere contains all of Earth's water. The biosphere is the zone where all life exists, including various plants and animals across land, sea, and freshwater. It also provides a brief example of how the subsystems interact through the process of a volcano eruption impacting the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.

IMAGINE
Imagine walking along a rocky coast as a storm
blows in from the sea. The wind whips the ocean
into whitecaps, and waves crash onto the shore.
Before you have time to escape, blowing spray has
soaked your clothes. A hard rain begins as you
scrambled over the rocks to your car. During the
adventure, you have observed the spheres of the
Earth.

Earth Science:
Subsystems of the
Earth
LET’S START!
PLANET EARTH
● Earth is sometimes called the “water
planet” or the “blue planet” because seas
cover more than two-thirds of its surface

● Earth is the only planet in the solar system


with rain that falls from clouds, runs over
the land, and collects in extensive oceans

● It is also the only body we know that


supports life.
THE 4 SUBSYTEMS OF THE EARTH
01

ATMOSPHERE
GASEOUS LAYER
ATMOSPHERE

● It is the gaseous layer above the


Earth’s surface, primarily
composed of 78% nitrogen and
21% oxygen.

● Other gases like argon, carbon


dioxide, carbon monoxide,
ozone, and other inert gases
made the remaining 1%.
●
ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION

Nitrogen 78% Argon 0.9%

Oxygen 21% Carbon 0.1%


ATMOSPHERE
● The atmosphere supports life
because animals and oxygen, and
plants need both carbon dioxide and
oxygen.

● In addition, the atmosphere supports


life indirectly by regulating climate. Air
acts as both a blanket and a filter,
retaining heat at night and shielding
from direct solar radiation during the
day.
ATMOSPHERE LAYERS
Exosphere Space
800-3000 km

Thermosphere Aurora Borealis


90-800 km

Mesosphere Meteors

GEOSPHERE
SOLID EARTH
GEOSPHERE

The Geosphere includes the


rocks and minerals on Earth-
from the molten rock and heavy
metals in the deep interior of the
planet to the sand on beaches
and peaks mountains.

2 Upper Mantle (Liquid)

4 Outer Core (Liquid)

5 Inner Core (Solid)


GEOSPHERE

It also includes the abiotic (non-


living) parts of soils and
skeletons of animals that may
become fossilized over geologic
time.

HYDROSPHERE
WATER PART
HYDROSPHERE
● Contains all the solid, liquid, and
gaseous water of the planet. It
ranges from 10 to 20 kilometers in
thickness.

● The hydrosphere extends from


Earth's surface downward several
kilometers into the lithosphere and
upward about 12 kilometers into
the atmosphere.
HYDROSPHERE

● A small portion of the water in the


hydrosphere is fresh (non-salty).
This water flows as precipitation
from the atmosphere down to
Earth's surface, as rivers and
streams along Earth's surface, and
as groundwater beneath Earth's
surface. Most of Earth's fresh
water, however, is frozen.
HYDROSPHERE

● Ninety-seven percent of Earth's


water is salty. The salty water
collects in deep valleys along
Earth's surface. These large
collections of salty water are
referred to as oceans.
HYDROSPHERE

● Water near the poles is very cold


while water near the equator is
very warm. The differences in
temperature cause water to
change physical states.
HYDROSPHERE

● Extremely low temperatures like


those found at the poles cause
water to freeze into a solid such as
a polar icecap, a glacier, or an
iceberg.

● Extremely high temperatures like


those found at the equator cause
water to evaporate into a gas.
THE WATER CYCLE

01
• A process through which water
moves around the Earth

• Follows the path of water as it


changes from a liquid to vapor or
even into solid form
BIOSPHERE
04 VARIOUS LIVES
BIOSPHERE

01
● – the zone of Earth where all
forms of life exist: in the sea, on
land, and in water. It is sometimes
called as the large ecosystem.
This is the zone that life inhabits.
Biosphere is a very thin layer of the
earth’s surface
BIOSPHERE
● It contains all the planet's living things.
01
This sphere includes all of the
microorganisms, plants, and animals of
Earth.

● Within the biosphere, living things form


ecological communities based on the
physical surroundings of an area. These
communities are referred to as biomes.
BIOSPHERE

01

● Deserts, grasslands, and tropical


rainforests are three of the many
types of biomes that exist within
the biosphere.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
HOW DO
THEY
INTERACT?
THE 4 SUBSYTEMS OF THE EARTH
EXAMPLE:
Volcano >> lithosphere >> atmosphere >> hydrosphere >> biosphere

Volcanoes (an event in the lithosphere) release a large amount of


particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles serve as nuclei
for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). Rainfall
(hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant
growth (biosphere). Particulate matter in the air (atmosphere) falls out,
initially smothering plants (biosphere), but ultimately enriching the soil
(lithosphere) and 4 thereby stimulating plant growth (biosphere)
