Earth Subsystem

The document discusses the four main spheres that make up the Earth system: 1) The geosphere is the solid Earth consisting of the core, mantle, and crust. 2) The biosphere is the zone where all life exists, including in oceans, on land, and in water. 3) The hydrosphere is the water part of the Earth that circulates among oceans, glaciers, and the atmosphere. 4) The atmosphere is the gaseous layer above the surface composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen that supports life. Matter and energy flow between these four subsystems, with the atmosphere providing heat and gases, the biosphere receiving gases, heat and water, and the hydros

Earth

Earth is a complex system made up of many


smaller systems through which matter and
energy are continuously cycled. Energy and
matter flow through Earth's spheres.
Four(4) Earth System
Geosphere (Lithosphere)
Biosphere
Hydrosphere
Atmosphere
What exactly are the sphere
and what’s in them
Geosphere

The solid Earth, consisting


of the entire planet from
the center of the core to
the outer crust. It includes
the core, mantle, and crust
of the Earth.
Biosphere

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.

Hydrosphere
The water part of the Earth which circulates
among oceans, continents, glaciers, and
atmosphere. Oceans cover 71% of the Earth
and contain 97.5% of its water.
Atmosphere
it is the gaseous layer above the Earth’s surface,
primarily composed of 78% nitrogen and 21%
oxygen. The atmosphere supports life because
animals and oxygen, and plants need both
carbon dioxide and oxygen.
How does matter and energy
flow across the four subsystem
of the Earth?
The Earth consists of four
subsystems, across whose
boundaries matter and energy
flows, the atmosphere (air),
biosphere (living things),
hydrosphere (water), and
geosphere (land). The atmosphere
provides the geosphere with heat
and energy needed for rock
breakdown and erosion. The
biosphere receives gases, heat,
and sunlight (energy) from the
atmosphere. It receives water
from the hydrosphere and a living
medium from the geosphere.
