Unit Lesson
It is easy to see why Earth is referred to as the “Blue
Planet”—71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by
oceans and seas. However, less than 5% of our
oceans have been explored (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] 2014). So
essentially, most of our Earth is still unexplored and
largely unknown. We do know that oceans contain the
highest mountains, the deepest trenches, and the
longest mountain ranges. On average, the ocean
depth is about four times the average elevation of
continents. In fact, Lutgens & Tarbuck (2014) state that
if the Earth’s continents were perfectly flat, they would
be completely submerged under more than 2,000
meters of seawater!
Oceanography is the branch of science that studies
the world’s oceans. It includes geology, chemistry,
physics, and biology (Lutgens & Tarbuck, 2014).
Oceanographers started mapping the oceans floors as
early as 1872 by dropping weighted lines down to the
ocean bottom at random points. The use of sound navigation and ranging (sonar) began during World War I
to detect enemy submarines, and was later improved during World War II. Sonar uses the echo of sound
waves to plot the profile of the ocean floor. Satellite radar technology has also contributed to mapping the
ocean floor. Today, we have a fairly good picture of the ocean floor topography.
As we study the ocean floor, we notice three major features: continental margins, basin floors, and mid-
oceanic ridge. The continental margins can be classified as active or passive. Active margins are where the

Elements of the physical environment
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 ...

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.
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.

1. At the end of a 60 – minute period,
the Grade Eleven students will be
able to explain that the Earth
consists of four subsystems across
boundaries whose matter and
energy flow.
2. The Earth is a system consist of
four major interacting components
called subsystem:
3. Based on the
picture, what
do you think
are the
materials
belong to:
Geosphere,
Hydrosphere,
Biosphere and
Atmosphere?
4. includes the interior structure, rocks, minerals,
landforms, and all physical processes on land
that shape Earth’s surface.
6. Where plates move alongside in each other, rubbing
past horizontally it now refers to Transform Boundary.
Ex. San Andreas Fault which runs through California
As rocks either side of this faults rub past in each
other it triggers devastating earthquakes
7. Here, a plume of
magma rises up,
stretching and
weakening the plate
above. Faults,
volcanoes appear and
rift valleys forms.
As the valley widens
the lands sinks and
the sea floods in. This
divergent boundary is
now ridge under the
ocean but the plates
continue to move
apart
8. Magma rises into the gaps between plates, where it cools into a
new rocks. This new seafloor eventually spreads out away from
the ridge.
9. Two plates crush in each other is called convergent
boundary
As the plates grind past in each other, they set off powerful earthquakes
10. If one plate is made of denser oceanic crust, its force
underneath the other one and swallowed into the mantle below
this is called subduction.
. The descending plates causes the magma to form and erupt
into the surface and a chain of volcanoes emerges.
11. When two plates are forced together and both are less dense
continental crust. As they collide into each other, one cannot
be forced under the other and they crumple. The crust is
crushed, folded and pushed up to form mountains.
12. All the waters found on Earth are natural but not
everything are considered safe for drinking.
2 Groups of Waters on Earth:
Surface water
Ground water
13. -may be either:
Marine water - has higher salt content and is found
in larger bodies of water such as oceans, seas, bays,
and gulf.
Freshwater - 2% of the world’s water; are those in
lakes, rivers, springs, and falls because of the lower
salt content, is the best source of drinking water for
all organisms.
17. State some specific phenomena in
which geosphere and hydrosphere
interact with each other.
Volcanoes (events in the geosphere) may release a
substantial amount of hot lava (geosphere), which causes
mountain glaciers (hydrosphere) to melt. “It may result of
diluting the oceans, decreasing its density and raising sea
levels as a consequence,” says Shepherd.
18. - where sea bottom is exposed during low
tide and is covered during high tide.
19.
20. Epipelagic zone or sunlight zone(0 – 200 m ) -
the zone that gets a lot sunlight resulting to an
abundance of aquatic plants.
Ex: seals, sea turtle, sea lions, rays and sharks
Mesopelagic zone or twilight zone ( 200 –
1000 m) by dim light due to the limited amount
of sunlight it receives.
Ex: fish, octopus and squid
21. Bathypelagic Zone or midnight zone (1000 –
4000m) does not receive any sunlight. Animals
that live here lack eyes.
Ex. Viperfish, anglerfish, stripe eel, and tripod
fish.
Abyssopelagic or abyss (4000 – 6000m) is
described as deep sea.
Hadalpelagic Zone or trenches (6000 – bottom) is
the deepest part of the ocean.
22.
23. Bio means life.
The biosphere contains all the planet's living things.
This sphere includes all of the microorganisms,
plants, and animals of Earth.
Within the biosphere, living things form ecological
communities based on the physical surroundings of
an area. These communities are referred to
as biomes.
24. 1. Forest – includes tropical, temperature and boreal
forests as well as taiga.
26. 3. Tundra is the coldest of all biomes. It has low biotic
diversity and simple vegetation structure.
27. 4. Numerous species of plants and animals
live in aquatic region.
28. State some human activities
that slowly destroyed any of
the enumerated major biomes.
What are the consequences of
human activities to the other
subsystem of the earth namely;
geosphere, hydrosphere, and
biosphere?
29. Flow of matter in the Biosphere:
1.Water Cycle: ()
Explain how the matter flows within the biosphere.
2.Nitrogen Cycle: Nitrogen Cycle _ It's AumSum Time.mp4
Describe is the role of the bacteria in this cycle.
3.Oxygen Cycle: The Oxygen Cycle.mp4
4. Carbon Cycle: The Carbon Cycle_Carbon Dioxide -Cycle (
CO2 ).mp4
How do humans affect the CO2 and O2 cycles?
30.
31. Biosphere is where certain organisms function to
consume a different set of organisms to allow energy
to transfer from one group of organisms to another
and to allow certain materials to recycle.
Energy is transferred from one organism to another
in a food chain or food web.
32.
33. contains all the air in Earth's system.
It extends from less than 1 m below the planet's
surface to more than 10,000 km above the planet's
surface.
The upper portion of the atmosphere protects the
organisms of the biosphere from the sun's ultraviolet
radiation.
34.
35.
36.
37. Troposphere
It absorbs and emits heat.
When air temperature in the lower
portion of this sphere changes, weather
occurs.
As air in the lower atmosphere is heated
or cooled, it moves around the planet.
The result can be as simple as a breeze
or as complex as a tornado.
38.
39. Stratosphere
- the air in this layer has strong, steady
horizontal winds which is advantageous to long
distance flights.
- almost completely free of clouds and
other forms of weather.
Ozone layer- upper region of stratosphere which
contains a high concentration of ozone.
40. What have you
observe in the
variation of
temperatures from
1st lower layer of
the atmosphere up
to temperature in
the stratosphere?
What is the role of
the ozone layer in
the atmosphere?
41. This layers protects Earth
from meteoroids.
Meteoroids burn up due
to the intense friction that
builds up between the air
and the meteroid.
The streak of light is
caused the hot , glowing
gas from meteroids.
Temperature stops
decreasing at the
mesopause.
42.
43. Nitrogen (N2) and Oxygen (O2) absorb a great deal of
ultraviolet radiation and turns it into heat.
44. The portion between 80 and 550 kilometers
above the Earth.
It is a layer consisting of highly ionized gas.
The ionized gas is formed when ultraviolet
rays knock off off electron nitrogen and
oxygen.
48. Connect to Earth Create a concept map
which explains how the geosphere,
hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere
are interconnected. Use arrows and
simple illustrations
