Components of Earth's System
Hydrosphere
Components
All water on Earth (oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater).
Defnition
The hydrosphere encompasses all water bodies and plays a crucial role in climate regulation, weather patterns, and supporting life.
Biosphere
Components
All living organisms (plants, animals, microbes).
Definition
The biosphere includes ecosystems, biodiversity, and interactions between life forms and their environment.
Cryosphere
Definition
The cryosphere involves ice and snow. It affects sea levels, climate feedbacks, and polar ecosystems.
Components
Frozen water (glaciers, ice caps, permafrost).
Geosphere
Definition
The geosphere includes the lithosphere (outermost layer), asthenosphere (partially molten layer), and Earth’s interior. It influences landforms, tectonic processes, and mineral resources.
Components
Solid Earth (rocks, minerals, soil, landforms).
Atmosphere
Components
Gases surrounding Earth (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide).
Definition
The atmosphere provides oxygen, regulates temperature, and shields from harmful solar radiation.
