Earth System's Components
Hydrosphere:
Oceans are the largest part of the hydrosphere because it has the habitat for sea animals and benefits humans in providing fish and salt.
Water in the air(vapor) which include clouds which can also produce rain or snow.
Underground water is the water found underneath the earth's surface such as aquifers which are also an important part of the earth's system because it is source of drinking water and supports agricultural needs.
Water on the earth's surface which are lakes, oceans, ponds, and rivers are an important part of the earth's system because it is a source of human's needs and animal's habitat.
Glaciers are large masses of ice which when slowly melts can produce freshwater for lakes and rivers.
Biosphere:
Humans are also living organisms that are an important part of the biosphere because of how humans can make bigger changes in the earth's system.
Abiotic components include non-living elements such as the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.
Animals are also living organisms that are an important part of the biosphere because it interacts with other components of the biosphere.
Biotic components include plants, animals, and microorganisms.
Plants such as trees, grass, and flowers are living things or organisms that is and important part of the biosphere because it produces oxygen and consumes carbon dioxide.
Geosphere:
Magma is a molten rock that can be found under the earth's surface.
Outer core is a layer of liquid metal under the earth's mantle.
Minerals are formed naturally in also in the earth's crust and mantle.
Inner core is the earth's deepest layer made out of solid metal.
Rocks are solid materials that make up most of the earth's crust and mantle.
Atmosphere:
Carbon dioxide is one of many molecules where carbon is commonly found on the Earth.
Argon is the most common gas in the atmosphere besides Nitrogen and Oxygen. Argon is a noble gas.
The air in Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen.
There are 7 layers in the atmosphere which are: The Troposphere. The Stratosphere. The Mesosphere. The Thermosphere and Ionosphere. The Exosphere. The Magnetosphere.
Nitrogen is in the soil under our feet, in the water we drink, and in the air we breathe. In fact, nitrogen is the most abundant element in the earth's atmosphere.
Cryosphere:
Lake and river ice are the layers of ice that form on top of water in lakes and rivers.
Glaciers are large masses of ice that are mostly formed on top of mountains or in the north or south poles.
An iceberg is ice that broke off from glaciers or shelf ice and is floating in open water.
An ice sheet is a body of ice which covers a land area of continental size.
Permafrost is made of a combination of soil, rocks and sand that are held together by ice.
