Earth's Systems: Video

The document discusses the four main interacting systems, or spheres, that make up Earth: the atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere. It provides brief descriptions of each sphere. The spheres interact with one another by exchanging energy and matter through various processes, like volcanoes, continental drift, and the water cycle. Over long periods of time, these interactions have resulted in changes to Earth.

Earth's Systems
The Earth is made up of four main
interacting systems, which are sometimes
called spheres

Atmosphere Hydrosphere

Geosphere Biosphere
The systems interact with one
another by exchanging energy
and matter.

These interactions have resulted in


the Earth changing. These changes
usually take a very long time to
progress.
The Atmosphere
The Atmosphere
The atmosphere is just a...thin layer of different
gases that surrounds Earth

Mostly made up of
Nitrogen (78%)
21% Oxygen
1% Other gases (Argon,
CO2, Water vapor, etc.)
The Biosphere
The Biosphere

The biosphere includes any part of the Earth


where there are living things.

This is where all the bugs,


animals, plants, fungi, etc. live.
It extends from the crust of the
Earth to the atmosphere,
including deep into the oceans.
The Geosphere
The Geosphere
The geosphere includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals,
landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface.

The lithosphere is
the outermost
layer of the
geosphere
Processes include
continental drift,
volcanoes, and
earthquakes
The Hydrosphere
The Hydrosphere

The hydrosphere includes all of the water on or near the


surface of Earth.

Clouds, ice, oceans, water


vapor, etc.

Cryosphere is the frozen part


of the hydrosphere

What exactly is an interaction?

The processes that move matter and energy from


one sphere to another
