Chapter 4 Bio
The document discusses several key topics related to biogeochemical cycles and the biosphere:
- Water and carbon cycles are central to life as they cycle essential materials through ecosystems. Water is key to all life and cycles through evaporation, transpiration, and precipitation. Carbon cycles through photosynthesis, respiration, and is stored globally in rocks, oceans, soils, and the atmosphere.
- Biogeochemical cycles transfer necessary nutrients and materials, like nitrogen and carbon, to sustain life through geological and biological processes. Life requires matter and energy provided by these cycles.
- Ecosystems involve interactions between living and non-living elements. Primary producers, herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers make up food

the EARTH MAJOR SYSTEMS.pdf
The Earth is the only known planet capable of supporting life. It has four major subsystems that sustain life:
1) The geosphere is the solid portion of the planet including rocks, minerals and landforms. Below the crust, temperatures are high enough for rock to flow.
2) The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth's surface and underground in liquid, vapor and ice form, including oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater and aquifers.
3) The atmosphere is made up of layers of gases held in place by Earth's gravity. It protects life from solar radiation and provides breathable air.
4) The biosphere is the global ecosystem comprising all living things and their
Biosphere
The document discusses the four main spheres that make up the Earth's global ecosystems - the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. The lithosphere is the solid crust composed of minerals that covers the planet. The atmosphere surrounds the Earth with air that supports life. The hydrosphere is composed of all water on or near the Earth. These spheres interconnect and can be present together, such as soil containing elements of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere itself has two components - the living and non-living elements that interact worldwide.

The document discusses the components of the environment. It defines environment as the sum of all living and non-living elements that influence human life. The four major components of the environment are the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost shell of the Earth consisting of the crust and upper mantle. The hydrosphere is the discontinuous layer of water on Earth, including liquid, frozen, and atmospheric water. The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding a planet held in place by gravity. The biosphere is the global ecosystem composed of living organisms and abiotic factors that provide energy and nutrients.
how do the masses of the earth, oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere co.pdf
how do the masses of the earth, oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere compare?
Solution
The hydrosphere is a characterizing normal for the Earth. It is the main planet in the Solar
System with a hydrological cycle. This incorporates: seas; freshwater (streams, lakes, and
groundwater); and the cryosphere (where water exists as a strong – ice or snow –, for example,
inside ice sheets, ice sheets and permafrost/solidified ground. These are likewise significant
stores of freshwater). The hydrosphere and cryosphere are likewise much of the time perceived
as two separate \'circles\'. Together, these water sources are essential for all types of life on
Earth, and they are the reason that Earth is regularly named the \'water planet\'.
The air is the thick layer of vaporous material which encompasses the Earth. The greater part of
the environment exists in 97 km of the Earth\'s surface, yet it has no unequivocal limit. The air is
isolated into four layers, the Troposphere (0-10 km elevation), the Stratosphere (10-45 km
height), the Mesosphere (45-80 km height), and the Thermosphere (80-300 km elevation). The
environment involves: 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide
and little measures of different gasses. These gasses are regularly named \'nursery gasses\' as
they are gently adjusted to keep up the Earth\'s temperature at a level appropriate to maintain life.
Without these gasses, and the regular nursery impact, the normal temperature of the Earth would
be around - 18°C (0°F) rather than its current 14°C (57°F).Earth is one of only a handful couple
of planets in the nearby planetary group which has an air. Venus, one of our nearest neighbors
has an environment made of 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 3.5% nitrogen (N2), which frames
an extremely harmful climate, permitting it to keep up a sweltering surface temperature of
467°C!
The lithosphere is the term given to the stone and minerals which shape Earth\'s external outside
and its structural plates. This is a critical part of the Earth\'s framework as these stones get to be
distinctly disintegrated and weathered to give essential minerals to the next Earth frameworks.
Through Earth\'s history, the whole lithosphere has been reused roughly six circumstances. At
the peripheral layer of the lithosphere, the \"pedosphere\" (which means soil circle) exists at the
interface between lithospheric, air, biospheric and hydrospheric forms. The blend of these
procedures prompts to soil arrangement, which is basic for maintaining life on Earth (the
biosphere).
The biosphere alludes to a wide range of life on Earth, including plants, creatures, and
microscopic organisms. Over the historical backdrop of the Earth the biosphere has changed
significantly with an awesome number of animal types developing, adjusting, and getting to be
distinctly wiped out. The differing qualities of the biosphere fluctuates extraordinarily over the
Earth, as species can be very helpless against even minor vari.
Modified territreal environment by Muhammad Fahad Ansari 12IEEM14
The document discusses the terrestrial environment, including the surface soil, vadose zone, and saturated zone below the surface. It describes how soil is composed of minerals, pore space, and small amounts of organic matter. The texture of a soil, defined by mineral particle sizes, influences properties like pore size distribution and water movement. Microbes are also discussed in relation to soil conditions like moisture availability and pore sizes that impact their movement.
SUBSYSTEMS_OF_EARTH.pptx
The document discusses the four spheres that make up Earth's systems - the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. The lithosphere refers to Earth's solid crust and upper mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that move and interact, causing earthquakes and volcanoes. The hydrosphere is all of Earth's water, both on and below the surface, which cycles through the hydrological cycle. The biosphere is composed of all living organisms inhabiting Earth. The atmosphere is Earth's envelope of air held in place by gravity, composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. All four spheres often interact in single locations to form complete systems supporting life.
major domains of earth
The document discusses the four spheres or realms of Earth: the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. The atmosphere is the gaseous layer surrounding Earth that redistributes heat and moisture. The lithosphere is the outer solid layer that provides a platform for life. The hydrosphere is principally the oceans but also includes ice. Most of the biosphere exists within the top 100 meters of the oceans and land surface.

Elements of the Physical Environment
The environment can basically described to be everything that surrounds man, interacts with man and influences the way he exists. The elements therefore can be put to four different categories: the atmosphere which contains the air, gases, climate and water, the hydrosphere that includes water in oceans, seas, rivers and lakes, the lithosphere that describes things on the earth’s surface like rocks, soil and landforms and finally the biosphere that contains life or living things like the flora – plants and fauna – animals. Environment means the surroundings. Land, water, air, plants, animals, solid wastes and other things that are surrounding us constitute our environment. Man and environment are closely intertwined with each other, to maintain a balance or equilibrium in nature.
The Earth's atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide, and very minimal amounts of other gases. This thin gaseous layer insulates the Earth from extreme temperatures; it keeps heat inside the atmosphere and it also blocks the Earth from much of the Sun's incoming ultraviolet radiation. It’s approximated to be about 480 km thick, but most of the atmosphere (about 80%) is within 16 km of the surface of the Earth. There is no exact place where the atmosphere ends; it just gets thinner and thinner, until it merges with outer space. The atmospheric air pressure at sea level, is about equals 760 mm (29.92 inches) of mercury, 14.70 pounds per square inch the air pressure decreases. At an altitude of 10,000 feet, the air pressure is 10 pound per square inch and there is less oxygen to breathe. The atmosphere is made up of layers namely: the thermosphere which includes the exosphere and part of the ionosphere, the exosphere which is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere goes from about 640 km high to about 1,280 km, the ionosphere that starts at about 70-80 km high and continues for hundreds of kilometers like 640 km. It contains many ions and free electrons. The ions are created when sunlight hits atoms and tears off some electrons. Auroras occur in the ionosphere. Others include the mesosphere characterized by decreasing temperatures as you rise, the stratosphere characterized by slight temperature increase with altitude, the tropopause which sits between the stratosphere and the troposphere and finally the troposphere which is the lowest region in the earth’s atmosphere.
A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. The hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air. A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground—as groundwater, in wells and aquifers. Water vapor is most visible as clouds and fog. The frozen part ...

Elements of the Physical Environment
The environment can basically described to be everything that surrounds man, interacts with man and influences the way he exists. The elements therefore can be put to four different categories: the atmosphere which contains the air, gases, climate and water, the hydrosphere that includes water in oceans, seas, rivers and lakes, the lithosphere that describes things on the earth’s surface like rocks, soil and landforms and finally the biosphere that contains life or living things like the flora – plants and fauna – animals. Environment means the surroundings. Land, water, air, plants, animals, solid wastes and other things that are surrounding us constitute our environment. Man and environment are closely intertwined with each other, to maintain a balance or equilibrium in nature.
The Earth's atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide, and very minimal amounts of other gases. This thin gaseous layer insulates the Earth from extreme temperatures; it keeps heat inside the atmosphere and it also blocks the Earth from much of the Sun's incoming ultraviolet radiation. It’s approximated to be about 480 km thick, but most of the atmosphere (about 80%) is within 16 km of the surface of the Earth. There is no exact place where the atmosphere ends; it just gets thinner and thinner, until it merges with outer space. The atmospheric air pressure at sea level, is about equals 760 mm (29.92 inches) of mercury, 14.70 pounds per square inch the air pressure decreases. At an altitude of 10,000 feet, the air pressure is 10 pound per square inch and there is less oxygen to breathe. The atmosphere is made up of layers namely: the thermosphere which includes the exosphere and part of the ionosphere, the exosphere which is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere goes from about 640 km high to about 1,280 km, the ionosphere that starts at about 70-80 km high and continues for hundreds of kilometers like 640 km. It contains many ions and free electrons. The ions are created when sunlight hits atoms and tears off some electrons. Auroras occur in the ionosphere. Others include the mesosphere characterized by decreasing temperatures as you rise, the stratosphere characterized by slight temperature increase with altitude, the tropopause which sits between the stratosphere and the troposphere and finally the troposphere which is the lowest region in the earth’s atmosphere.
A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. The hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air. A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground—as groundwater, in wells and aquifers. Water vapor is most visible as clouds and fog. The frozen part ...
The Earth System.pptx
Earth system refers to Earth’s interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes.
The system consists of the land, oceans, atmosphere and poles.
It includes the planet’s natural cycles – the carbon, water, nitrogen, phosphorus, Sulphur and other cycles – and deep Earth processes.
Life too is an integral part of the Earth system
Reduce climate change
Ecological services generated by the living biosphere

EARTH SUBSYSTEM.pdf
The document discusses Earth's four main subsystems or spheres:
1) The geosphere includes Earth's solid rocks and soils.
2) The hydrosphere contains Earth's water in all its forms.
3) The atmosphere surrounds the planet and is composed of gases like nitrogen and oxygen.
4) The biosphere encompasses all life on Earth within the other spheres.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
