    Earth’s Uniqueness

    Objectives
     a. describe what is a habitable zone and
    the conditions in order to support life
     b. appreciate all parts of Earth’s life
    giving process and make an effort in taking
    care of this planet.
    Imagine that you have a garden. Get one
    plant that could fit in a pot but do not put soil
    when you transfer it. Put the plant inside a
    box and leave it for one week.

    1. What do you think will happen to the


    plant?
    2. How would you relate this scenario with
    the different characteristics of the Earth?
     Goldilocks Zone- refers to the habitable
    zone around a star where the temperature
    is just right - not too hot and not too cold -
    for liquid water to exist on a planet.
     Life seems limited to a temperature range
    of -15°C to 115°C. In this range, liquid water
    can still exist under certain conditions.
    Earth’s Atmosphere

     The atmosphere consists of 78.1%


    nitrogen, 20.9% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 350
    ppm carbon dioxide, and other
    components.

     The presence of oxygen and carbon


    dioxide permits life on Earth.
    Q. How do oxygen and carbon dioxide make
    Earth habitable?

    A. Carbon dioxide is used by plants in


    photosynthesis, and the oxygen is used by
    humans and animals for respiration.
    Q. What will happen if the atmosphere on
    Earth is removed?

    Q. How does the atmosphere support other


    subsystems?
     Earth’s atmosphere also protects us from
    the sun’s radiation. 30 % of the radiation is
    reflected away by the atmosphere, clouds,
    and the earth's surface. Another 25% is
    absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds,
    and the remaining 45% is absorbed by the
    earth’s surface.
    Soil and Vegetation
     The soil is a mixture of minerals, water, air,
    organic matter, and organisms.
    It is a living medium—a medium for
    growth of all kinds of vegetation. The soil
    promotes growth for plants by providing
    nutrients, water, and as a substrate for
    anchorage of roots. In return, vegetation
    produces trees and forests cover, ensures
    the water and nutrient cycle, and prevents
    soil and wind erosion. This mutual
    relationship of the soil and vegetation
    makes our planet livable.
    Earth’s Hydrosphere
     The hydrosphere contains all the water on our
    planet including ice and vapor. Nearly three-
    quarters of the earth’s surface is the sea and
    the ocean.
     The ocean houses many species of marine life

    and diverse mineral resources. Other forms of


    water include river, streams, and lakes.
     Other than being a water reservoir, these

    forms of water are all sources of fish and


    shellfish that we consume. They also serve as
    thermostat and heat reservoir, especially the
    ocean. They also serve as ways for
    transportation.
    Application
     Why is the Earth the only habitable planet
    in the Solar System?
    Valuing
     What can you do to save our planet?
    Generalization
     I know now something about ________
    First, _________________
    Second, ______________
    Finally, ______________
    Now you know on what I know something
    about ______________
    Quiz # 1
    1. Which of the following is not included in
    Earth’s subsystems?
    A. Geosphere C. Atmosphere
    B. Hydrosphere D. Photospere

    2. Which of the following is true about the


    geosphere?
    A. It is the habitat for some species of plants
    and animals.
    B. It prevents the penetration of ultraviolet rays
    from the Sun.
    C. It is the main source of water on Earth.
    D. It provides oxygen needed by animals.
    3. Hydrosphere includes all the ____ on Earth.

    4. What is the most abundant gas in the


    atmosphere?

    5. In what temperature can a habitable zone


    exist?
