The 4 Systems of Earth Today copy everything in yellow.
Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major parts: land, water, living things, or air. These four parts are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the “geosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).
The 4 Systems of Earth The hydrosphere, geosphere, atmosphere and biosphere can affect each other. Think about the tornadoes that destroy much property in the US every year. How does the atmosphere (the tornadoes) affect another system?
The 4 Systems of Earth How can the geosphere (EX: a volcano) affect another system? How can the biosphere (EX: a rain forest) affect another system? How can the hydrosphere (EX: a thunderstorm) affect another system?
The 4 Systems of Earth A scientist studies the levels of water pollution in a marsh. Which system is she studying? hydrosphere Scientists study the effect of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on sea birds. Which system are they studying? biosphere
