The Earth System
__________________________
______________________________
___________________________ _________________________
Earth Systems Overview
The Earth is a system consisting of four
major parts:
the atmosphere,
the biosphere,
the hydrosphere, and
the geosphere
The Atmosphere
The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air, called the
atmosphere.
The atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (N) and
oxygen (O).
The Biosphere
The biosphere is the living part of the Earth, and includes all living
organisms (including humans), and all organic matter that has not yet
decomposed.
Living organisms are made mainly of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen
(O) and Nitrogen (N)
Hydrosphere
The hydrosphere contains all the water
(H20) found on our planet.
• Water found on the surface of our planet
includes the ocean as well as water from lakes
and rivers, streams, and creeks.
• 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.
Geosphere (also called Lithosphere)
The geosphere is the solid
Earth that includes the continental
and ocean crust as well the various
layers of Earth’s interior.
• 94% of the Earth is composed of
the elements oxygen, silicon, and
magnesium.
• The surface of the geosphere is
is in a constantly changing.
• Mineral resources are mined
from the geosphere.
Earth System Science
Earth System Science
is the study of how the
four spheres of the Earth
system interact
continually, each
affecting the others.
Let’s look at a couple of
examples of how a
change in one system (or
sphere) affects other
Earth systems.
System Interactions
Volcanoes (geosphere) erupt, sending
ash and gases into the air (atmosphere)
and sending lava and ash down onto
surrounding forests (biosphere) and
human habitations (biosphere).
Geosphere
Atmosphere Biosphere
System Interactions
Hurricanes (atmosphere) sweep
across the ocean (hydrosphere) and
onto the land (geosphere), damaging
the dwellings of people (biosphere)
who live along the coast.
Atmosphere
Hydrosphere
Geosphere
Biosphere
System Interactions
Earthquakes (geosphere) can damage
buildings which may kill people
(biosphere), as well as cause fires which
release gases into the air (atmosphere).
Earthquakes in the ocean may cause a
tsunami (hydrosphere) which can
eventually hit land and kill both animals
and people (biosphere).
Geosphere
Biosphere
Atmosphere
Hydrosphere
System Interactions:
Think of your own examples using the sentence stems. Write
them in your journal.
1.The atmosphere interacts with the biosphere
when………………..
2. The hydrosphere interacts with the geosphere
when………….

  • 2. Earth Systems Overview The Earth is a system consisting of four major parts: the atmosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, and the geosphere
  • 3. The Atmosphere The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air, called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O).
  • 4. The Biosphere The biosphere is the living part of the Earth, and includes all living organisms (including humans), and all organic matter that has not yet decomposed. Living organisms are made mainly of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O) and Nitrogen (N)
  • 5. Hydrosphere The hydrosphere contains all the water (H20) found on our planet. • Water found on the surface of our planet includes the ocean as well as water from lakes and rivers, streams, and creeks. • 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.
  • 6. Geosphere (also called Lithosphere) The geosphere is the solid Earth that includes the continental and ocean crust as well the various layers of Earth’s interior. • 94% of the Earth is composed of the elements oxygen, silicon, and magnesium. • The surface of the geosphere is is in a constantly changing. • Mineral resources are mined from the geosphere.
  • 7. Earth System Science Earth System Science is the study of how the four spheres of the Earth system interact continually, each affecting the others. Let’s look at a couple of examples of how a change in one system (or sphere) affects other Earth systems.
  • 8. System Interactions Volcanoes (geosphere) erupt, sending ash and gases into the air (atmosphere) and sending lava and ash down onto surrounding forests (biosphere) and human habitations (biosphere). Geosphere Atmosphere Biosphere
  • 9. System Interactions Hurricanes (atmosphere) sweep across the ocean (hydrosphere) and onto the land (geosphere), damaging the dwellings of people (biosphere) who live along the coast. Atmosphere Hydrosphere Geosphere Biosphere
  • 10. System Interactions Earthquakes (geosphere) can damage buildings which may kill people (biosphere), as well as cause fires which release gases into the air (atmosphere). Earthquakes in the ocean may cause a tsunami (hydrosphere) which can eventually hit land and kill both animals and people (biosphere). Geosphere Biosphere Atmosphere Hydrosphere
