Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the largest of the four inner planets. It is mostly spherical and has one moon that orbits it counterclockwise about every 28 days. The Earth orbits the Sun in an elliptical orbit and is tilted at an axis of 23.5 degrees. Earth has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that provides breathable air and protects the planet from temperature extremes and meteorites.
This presentation is all about the different types of water resources on the planet Earth and this presentation also shows what kind of cycle that water undergoes to create rain, snow or hail. This presentation is also about how we can find different kinds of things that we normally do that destroys our bodies of water specially climate change and water pollution.

Deformation of the Crust: Continental Drift Theory
Learning Competencies
The learners shall be able to explain how the continents drift (S11/12ESId-20), and cite evidence that support continental drift (S11/12ES-Id-21).
Specific Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. Discuss the history behind the Theory of Continental Drift;
2. Describe the Continental Drift Theory; and
3. Enumerate and explain the evidence used to support the idea of drifting continents.
our earth is made up of air, land, water.Horizon and coast.
continents and oceans of the world.water percentage of earth is 70% and land percentage is 30%. Rotation and revolution of earth.

Earth as a system is composed of numerous interacting parts or subsystem. Earth system science attempts to integrate the knowledge from traditional sciences, geology, atmospheric science, chemistry, biology and so on. Earth is just a small part of larger system known as the solar system.
Earth system has nearly endless array of subsystems in which matter is recycled over and over again.
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

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 ...
4. One moon orbits the Earth
It takes the moon about 28 days
to orbit counterclockwise around the Earth.
5. The orbit around the sun is elliptical.
As the Earth orbits the sun, the moon
orbits the Earth.
6. Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis
Axis - an imaginary line that goes through the center of the earth from the
north pole to the south pole.
7. Earth is a unique planet
It is the only planet in our Solar System that is
known to have liquid water. It can be found in
all three states.
8. Water vs. Land on Earth
About 75% About 25%
of Earth is covered in water of Earth is land (continents)
Water versus Land
Land
Water
9. Only a small % of water is available for
humans to use and consume
10. Earth has a blanket or layer of
breathable air
This is called the atmosphere.
11. The atmosphere is made up of the
perfect mix of gases.
Nitrogen 78%
Oxygen 21%
Other gases 1%
Water vapor and dust particles are
also found in the atmosphere.
12. The atmosphere is important to us for
many reasons
• Provides oxygen which all living things need to
live
13. The atmosphere is important to us for
many reasons
• Provides oxygen which all living things need to
live.
• Protects us from most harmful UV rays from
the sun
14. The atmosphere is important to us for
many reasons
• Provides oxygen which all living things need to
live
• Protects us from most harmful UV rays from
the sun
• Keeps the Earth at temperatures that aren’t
too hot or too cold
15. The atmosphere is important to us for
many reasons
• Provides oxygen which all living things need to
live.
• Protects us from most harmful UV rays from
the sun.
• Keeps the Earth at temperatures that aren’t

• Protects us from meteorites which usually
burn up as they hit the atmosphere
Editor's Notes
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the inner planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (dwarf planet) are the outer planets.
Come See the Earth Turn book about the man who invented the pendulum (the earth rotating on its axis)
Have each student put their finger on the map. Land or water. Tally. Should come up with a number almost equal to above numbers
