EARTH
SYSTEMS
SYSTEM - A set of interconnected components that are
interacting to form a unified whole.
EXAMPLE of a system - ECOSYSTEM.
(Organisms are interrelated and interacting)
Earth as a System
Earthis a dynamic body with many
separate but highly interacting parts or
spheres
Earthsystem science studies Earth as a
system composed of numerous parts, or
subsystems
The Earth system is essentially a CLOSED SYSTEM.
A closed system is a system in which
there is only an exchange of heat or
energy and no exchange of matter.
The Earth receives energy from the sun and
returns some of this energy to space.
Absorbing and reflecting the
heat radiated by the earth,
these gases act somewhat like
the glass in a greenhouse and
are thus known as greenhouse
gases.
All life on earth relies on the greenhouse
effect. Without it, the average surface
temperature of the planet would be about
18 oC and ice would cover earth from pole
to pole.
THE EARTH SUBSYSTEMS
Biosphere Hydrosphere
Geosphere Atmosphere
Earth’s Spheres
Hydrosphere
Ocean – the most prominent feature of the hydrosphere
Nearly 70 percent of Earth’s surface
3% is fresh water, 2/3 in the form of ice, 1/3 streams, lakes, ground water
Hydrosphere
Layers of the
Atmosphere
The four layers of the atmosphere
include:
1. the troposphere, where we
live;
2. the stratosphere, which
contains the ozone layer;
3. the mesosphere, where
meteors burn; and
4. the thermosphere, where
satellites orbit Earth.
The Troposphere
The Stratosphere
The Mesosphere
The Thermosphere
Biosphere
Includes all life
forms on Earth
It covers all ecosystems—from the soil to the
rainforest, from mangroves to coral reefs,
and from the plankton-rich ocean surface to the
deep sea.
Geosphere
Solid Earth
Based on compositional differences, it consists of the crust, mantle, and core
Divisions of the outer portion are based on how materials behave
Layer Relative Position Density Composition
Crust Outermost layer; thinnest Least dense layer overall; Solid Rock – mostly silicon
under the ocean, thickest Oceanic crust (basalt) is and oxygen
under continents; crust more dense than Oceanic crust – basalt;
and top of mantle called continental crust (granite) Continental crust – granite
the lithosphere
Mantle Middle layer, thickest Density increases with Hot softened rock;
layer; top portion called depth because of contains iron and
the asthenosphere increasing pressure magnesium
Core Inner layer, consists of Heaviest material; most Mostly iron and nickel;
two parts – outer core and dense layer outer core – slow flowing
inner core liquid, inner core, solid
The Crust
Outer layer
5-100 km thick
Made of light minerals such as
silicon and aluminum
2 types of crust
Oceanic (very dense, made of
basalt)
Continental (less dense, made of
granite)
Oceanic and Continental Crust
Oceanic Crust is thin but very dense.
The Crust
•The outermost “skin” of Earth with variable thickness.
–•The Mohorovičić discontinuity or “Moho” is the lower
boundary.
–Separates the crust from the upper mantle.
–Discovered in 1909 by Andrija Mohorovicic. .
The Mantle
Middle layer, thickest layer;
top portion called the
asthenosphere
Very thick layer
Where lava comes from
The Core
Made mostly of iron, very heavy mineral
1/3 of the earth’s mass
Very hot
Inner core is solid
Outer core is liquid
STRUCTURE OF EARTH
OUTER CORE
The third layer is outer core. The outer core is a hot
and liquid layer comprising mainly of Nickel and
(liquid) Iron. Therefore it is referred as NiFe Layer.
STRUCTURE OF EARTH
INNER CORE
The fourth layer is inner core.
The inner core is mostly made of solid iron and has little
amounts of nickel.
CRYOSPEHERE
Write an essay not exceeding
200 words on how man has
altered the atmosphere,
biosphere, hydrosphere,
lithosphere, and as a
consequence, the Earth System
as whole
