consists of all the organisms
and the physical environment
with which they interact.
These biotic and abiotic
components are linked
together through nutrient
cycles and energy flows.
a set of interconnected
components that are
interacting to form a unified
whole.
Group the class into 4 groups
with each having different
topics to research.

Group 1 - Atmosphere
Group 2 - Geosphere
Group 3 - Hydrosphere
Group 4 - Biosphere
The atmosphere is the thin
gaseous layer that envelopes
the lithosphere. •
The present atmosphere is
composed of 78% nitrogen (N),
21% oxygen (O2), 0.9% argon,
and trace amount of other
gases.
One of the most important
processes by which the heat on
the Earth's surface is
redistributed is through
atmospheric circulation.
There is also a constant
exchange of heat and moisture
between the atmosphere and
the hydrosphere through the
hydrologic cycle.
The lithosphere
includes the rocks
of the crust and
mantle, the metallic
liquid outer core,
and the solid
metallic inner core.
The occurance of
plate tectonics is an
important process
shaping the surface
of the Earth. The
primary driving
mechanism is the
Earth's internal
heat, such as that in
mantle convection.
About 70% of the Earth is covered
with liquid water (hydrosphere) and
much of it is in the form of ocean
water (Figure 3).
Only 3% of Earth's water is fresh:
two-thirds are in the form of ice,
and the remaining one-third is
present in streams, lakes, and
groundwater.
The oceans are important sinks for
CO2 through direct exchange with
the atmosphere and indirectly
through the weathering of rocks.
Heat is absorbed and
redistributed on the surface of
the Earth through ocean
circulation.
The biosphere is the set of 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.
For the majority of life on Earth, the
base of the food chain comprises
photosynthetic organisms. During
photosynthesis, CO2 is sequestered
from the atmosphere, while oxygen is
released as a byproduct. The biosphere
is a CO2 sink, and therefore, an
important part of the carbon cycle.
Sunlight is not necessary for life.

different interaction and connection of the different subsystems of
the Earth.
