EARTH SYSTEM
EARTH SYSTEM
 The 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 , sulfur and other
cycles –and deep Earth processes
EARTH AS A CLOSED SYSTEM
The amount of matter within a closed system is
fixed. This can be illustrated by discussing the
volume of mineral resources a planet has
.Once used up, these mineral resources are
transformed into something else , maintaining
the amount of matter within this closed system.
EARTH SUBSYSTEM
 Earth is composed of four basic subsystem:
geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and
biosphere. It may be important to note that
humans are not part of the biosphere, and that
human lives depend on the interaction of the
four subsystem.
FOUR SUBSYSTEM
 1.GEOSPHERE- it is composed of naturally-
occurring solid aggregate of minerals,
organic materials, or natural glass called
rocks, and loose particles of rock that are
found blanketing surface of earth called
regolith.
 2.HYDROSPHERE-is the totality of earth’s
water, including the permanently frozen parts
called cryosphere.
 3.ATMOSPHERE-is the mixture of gases that
surround the planet such as nitrogen, oxygen,
argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
4. BIOSPHERE-includes all life forms, even
organic matter that has not yet decomposed.
