Earth's subsystems
The document discusses Earth's four main subsystems - the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It provides basic definitions and descriptions of each subsystem. For example, it states that the atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. It also discusses interactions between the subsystems, like how the biosphere is made up of biomes where similar plants and animals live together. The document includes tasks for students, like drawing a scenario showing the subsystems interacting and explaining their importance to Earth's systems.

Editor's Notes
- #3 HYDRO
- #7 Earth Systems Science studies the flow of matter and energy in and out of the Earth’s open systems,
- #10 • Give the government as an example. Inquire about the three branches of the government (executive, judiciary, and legislative). Explain that these three branches are independent and have their respective functions. ( to sustain the biosphere) A government can only succeed if all three branches are able to perform their respective functions.
- #13 The atmosphere reaches over 560 kilometers (348 miles) up from the surface of the Earth. METEORS- SMALLEST ROCKS THAT CAN FILTER THE ATMOSPHERE. QUESTION ( PERCENTAGE OF NITROGEN AND OXYGEN) NITROGEN- INHALED BY THE ROOTS OF PLANTS, AT THE ROOTS THERE ARE BACTERIAS CALLED NITROGEN FIXING BACTERIA THOSE NFB USES NITROGEN TO CREATE “AMMONIA” OR THE (PROTEIN) OF PLANTS FOR GROWTH. OXYGEN- CAN CREATE FIRE (FUEL(OBJECT) , HEAT, OXYGEN) FUEL, SUN, OXYGEN
- #14 TROPO- WEATHER (CLOUDS) STRATRO- OZONE LAYER ( AIRPLAINE, HOT AIR BALOON) MESO- MIDDLE (TEMPERATURE) (COLD) FILTERS METEORS THERMO- HOT EXOS- THIN ATMOSPHERE ( SATTELITES, ROCKS) ASTERIODS, METEOROID
- #16 METEOROID- ROCK OUTERSPACE PA METEORITE- EARTH’S SURFACE METEORS- SHOOTING STARS So the difference is just based on where the rock is when you are describing it.
- #18 When a meteorite enters Earth’s atmosphere, friction causes them to burn up, producing a streak of light.
- #20 It is the layer of rock that forms the continents. Volcanic eruption & earthquakes 2 kinds continental and oceanic 94% of the Earth is composed of the elements oxygen, silicon, and magnesium.
- #63 Continental to Continental Most mountain ranges over million of years as tectonic plates collide.
- #69 3% continuously recycled Water found under the surface of our planet includes water trapped in the soil and groundwater. Water found in our atmosphere includes water vapor. Frozen water on our planet includes ice caps and glaciers. Only about 3% of the water on Earth is “fresh” water, and about 70% of the fresh water is frozen in the form of glacial ice.
- #72 Biotic and abiotic Life zones/ Biomes (forest, deserts, and marine) Example: Humans, animals, plants, microbes (bacteria), Fungus A desert, with its cactus, sand, and lizards, is one example of a biome. A coral reef is another.
