    The document describes the four interconnected spheres that make up Earth's subsystem: the geosphere consists of all solid materials that form the Earth's surface and interior; the hydrosphere encompasses all of Earth's water, both liquid and solid, including the oceans which hold 97% of the planet's water and cover over 70% of its surface; the atmosphere surrounds the Earth and plays a role in regulating temperatures and climate; and the biosphere is made up of all living things on Earth and their interactions with each other and the environment.

    EARTH SUBSYSTEM

    • Earth is a very complex place.


    • The earth consists of four distinct
    yetconnected spheres. All of the
    processes on Earth are driven by four
    “spheres”, which we describe individually,
    but are really all connected.
    GEOSPHERE
    • describes all of the rocks, minerals and ground thatare
    found on and in Earth.
    • This includes all of the mountains on the surface, as well
    as all of the liquid rock in the mantle below us and the
    minerals and metals of the outer and inner cores.
    • The continents, the ocean floor, all of the rocks on the
    surface, and all of the sand in the deserts are all
    considered part of the geosphere.
    • Basically, if it looks like solid ground, it's part of the
    'ground' sphere.
    HYDROSPHERE
    • Planet Earth has been called the "Blue Planet"
    due to the abundant water on its surface
    • Over 70 percent of the surface area of the
    earth is covered by water.
    • All the earth’s water, solid or in liquid form,
    those that are contained in glaciers, rocks, soil
    and the air, comprise the earth’s hydrosphere.
    SOURCES OF WATER
    Ocean
    • A big portion of earth’s water is found in ocean.
    • The oceans cover more than 70 percent of the
    Earth's surface and contain 97 percent of the Earth's
    water.
    • If the ocean's total salt content were dried, it would
    cover the continents to a depth of 5 feet.
    • Together with the atmosphere, oceans regulate
    global temperatures, shape weather and climate
    patterns, and cycle elements through the biosphere.
