The Earth consists of four subsystems across whose boundaries matter and energy flows:
- The atmosphere (air)
- The biosphere (living things)
- The hydrosphere (water)
- The geosphere (land)
The atmosphere provides the geosphere with heat and energy needed for rock breakdown and erosion. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight (energy) from the atmosphere. It receives water from the hydrosphere and a living medium from the geosphere.
its a presentation on the key aspects of Terrestrial Ecosystem. Its types, characters, soil horizon, soil microflora . Its curated specifically to help environmental microbiology students to ubderstand the key aspects of various Eco biomes . Hope it helps the students and faculties to grasp the knowledge and spread among people, the awareness to protect our precious Ecosystem .
Carbon is the fundamental component of all organic compounds. It is one of the primary elements of life, involved in the fixation of energy by photosynthesis. The biosphere includes a complex mixture of carbon compounds. They are originated, transformed and decomposed within this sphere. This module highlights the importance of carbon on the globe.
Introduction to Earth Systems, with english as a second language, used at my International School. Includes Atmosphere, Geosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere as well as Constructive and Destructive Forces.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Instructions for Submissions thorugh G- Classroom.pptxJheel Barad
This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
4. It is the gaseous layer above the Earth’s surface,
primarily composed of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen.
Other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, ozone, and other inert gases made the
remaining 1%.
The atmosphere supports life because animals and
oxygen, and plants need both carbon dioxide and
oxygen.
The atmosphere supports life indirectly by regulating
climate. Air acts as both a blanket and a filter,
retaining heat at night and shielding from direct solar
radiation during the day.
ATMOSPHERE
5. The zone of Earth where all
forms of life exist
It is sometimes called as the
large ecosystem.
This is the zone that life
inhabits. Biosphere is a very
thin layer of the earth’s
surface.
BIOSPHERE
6. The solid part of the
Earth.
It includes the core,
mantle, and crust of the
Earth.
.
GEOSPHERE
7. The water part of the Earth
which circulates among
oceans, continents, glaciers,
and atmosphere. Oceans
cover 71% of the Earth and
contain 97.5% of its water.
HYDROSPHERE
8. The Earth consists of four subsystems, across whose boundaries matter and
energy flows,
the atmosphere (air),
biosphere (living things),
hydrosphere (water), and
geosphere (land).
The atmosphere provides the geosphere with heat and energy needed for
rock breakdown and erosion. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight
(energy) from the atmosphere. It receives water from the hydrosphere and a
living medium from the geosphere.

24. ACTIVITY
The human population has increased rapidly since the 1700’s. For most of human history,
there were fewer than half-billion people on Earth. In mid- 2009, 6.7 billion people
inhabited our planet. Because of these, extensive pollution is everywhere. As a student,
what can you do to save not only a particular system, but the Earth itself? Write your
answer in the table.
