- Earth has been existing for how many years?
- Influences how quickly atoms, molecules, and organisms move.
- Is an important ingredient in different biological processes.
- Its absence will interfere reactions necessary for life.
- Provides significant insulation or shielding from the sun and impact of small to medium sized meteorites and protects Earth from harmful radiation.
- Shields the Earth's surface from harmful UV Rays.
- This affects a planet's ability to hold a significant amount of atmosphere.
- This helps in sustaining the atmosphere.
- Used by living organisms like plants, animals, and photosynthetic bacteria as their source of energy.
- Earth has available energy- rich sunlight to support life.
- Some chemosynthetic organisms rely on this to support various biological processes.
- Used to build and maintain an organism's body structure.
- Insufficient or absence of this can impede synthesis of the different biological molecules.
- Ozone layer depletes when combined with CFC. What do you think will the ozone layer completely depleted?
- If Earth is smaller than its size, how will you describe its atmosphere?
- What will most likely happen if Earth is the first planet from the sun?
- Given its current position, if Earth is bigger than its size, how will you describe ats atmosphere?
- Earth is comprised of four major smaller systems known as subsystems. These are also called as?
- What are the four subsystems of the Earth?
- This serves as the Earth’s blanket.
- The Greek origin of the word Atmosphere meaning "Gas" and "Globe/ball".
- A subsystem composed of gases in varying amount and its relative abundance is also crucial in different parts of the earth.
- This affects the Earth's Atmosphere which is why as the altitude increases, the amount of gases in the atmosphere decreases.
- It is composed of naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals, organic material or natural glass.
- A Greek word which means water.
- Is composed of all the water on Earth in any form.
- What are the three forms of Water on Earth?
- Water on Earth is constantly and consistently moving because of?
- It is composed of all living things and the areas where they are found. It extends to the upper areas of the atmosphere where insects and birds can be found. It also extends to the deep parts of the oceans where marine organisms can still survive.
- A Greek word meaning "life".
- It is also in this zone that the interaction between the different subsystems is most dynamic.
- In biosphere, each organism plays an important role to this. If one is lost, the others will be affected.
- They flow and cycle between the four subsystems to sustain and make life on Earth possible.
- This is where the rocky part of the earth is in contact with water, air, and life. It is also generally where the spheres intersect and affect each other.
- The processes that move matter and energy from one sphere to another is called?
- Changes in any sphere greatly affect the other spheres as well since all the spheres are?
- This involves biological, geochemical, and chemical factors that closely link the four subsystems.
- These cycles are alleyways by which substances move through _ which is the biosphere and _ which is the geosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere, components of Earth.
- It allows the circulation of important nutrients that form and support life like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and water. It also maintains the balance of substances in the different subsystem of the Earth.
