Lecture Guide
“We are all connected. To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To
the rest of the universe atomically.”
The quote above is said by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, an American astrophysicist.
Do you agree with him? Why do you think he said that we are all connected?
A certain group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent parts that work
together to form a complex whole is called a system. The scientists around the
world try to study our planet through the smaller systems it have and fit them
together to form a whole picture which is known as the Earth System Science.
Specifically, Earth System is commonly referred as the spheres which are
divided into four: geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. These
four spheres regulate the different functions of Earth which makes it habitable
which is similar on how a human body system works. All human body systems
Offline Activities work together to maintain a well-functioning and healthy body. On Earth, each
(e-Learning/Self- of the four spheres or systems must keep itself in balance. A change in one
Paced) system will affect other systems.
Here’s the key concepts that you must remember on each Earth subsystem
1. Biosphere: This sphere is associated with living systems such as biomes or
ecosystems. This includes life on land, in the oceans and rivers, and even life that we
cannot see with the naked eye.
 Features: coastal biomes, forests, desert, grasslands, and other ecosystems.
 Processes: photosynthesis, biogeochemical cycles (carbon cycle, nitrogen
cycle..)
2. Hydrosphere: This sphere is associated with water in solid (ice) and liquid states. It
composed of all waters on the surface (oceans, rivers, and lakes) and also the water
underground (in wells and aquifers) and may also include moisture in air (visible as
clouds and fogs).
 Features: oceans, icebergs, lakes, rivers, glaciers, snow, and so on.
 Processes: hydrologic cycle (condensation, evaporation..), ocean circulation
3. Atmosphere: This sphere relates to meteorological features and phenomena such

Province of Laguna
as weather,
Level clouds,
I Institutionally or
aerosols (particles in the air). It includes an ever‐changing
Accredited
mixture of gas and small particles located above and surrounding the Earth’s surface.
 Features: clouds, weather, aurora, air pollution/aerosols, dust, and so on.
 Processes: atmospheric circulation
 Layers of the Atmosphere
Layer Major Features
Troposphere Densest part. Almost all weather types are in this region.
Stratosphere Location of ozone layer which absorbs and scatters the solar
ultraviolet radiation.
Mesosphere Region where meteors usually burn up and become “shooting
stars”
Ionosphere It is where radio communications possible.
Thermosphere It is the area of aurora and satellites.
Exosphere Upper limit of the atmosphere separating Earth and space.
4. Geosphere: This sphere is associated with solid portions of the Earth. It includes
rocks, sediments, soils, and surface landforms. It is predominantly classified as the
lithosphere: the upper mantle and crust.
 The associated features of the geosphere based on types are:
 Fluvial & Alluvial processes: deltas, river channels, canyons, alluvial fans
 Aeolian processes: sand dunes, yardangs, wind streaks
 Tectonic Processes: folds, faults, mountains
 Volcanic Processes: volcanoes, central vents, volcanic deposits
 Impact Processes: impact craters
 Other Processes: mass wasting processes, erosional processes
 Processes: weathering, erosion, mantle convection, volcanic eruption, and so
on.
 Earth’s Interior Layers:
 Crust – upper portion composed of 2 types: Oceanic crust (underlies the ocean
basin) and Continental crust (underlies the continents) which is most
abundant composition is oxygen and silicon.
 Mantle – solid rock layer between crust and crust.
 Core – it is an iron-rich sphere divided into 2 parts: outer core (liquid iron-
nickel-sulfur, generates magnetic field) and inner core (solid ironnickel alloy)
Earth as the only planet that supports life suggest that it must be composed of
materials, resources and energy that could sustain all its processes in order to keep all
the organisms living on it alive. It is therefore not by accident that God, when He
created the Earth placed here subsystems which makes earth conducive for living.
These four subsystems present in our planet are working harmoniously to assure that
none of them will fail to perform its function because the Earth could not afford to
survive if even one of these interacting subsystem will fail. Sustaining life is therefore
not a job of one or two parts but a collaborative effort of the four.

What
Level is a System?
I Institutionally Accredited
A system is an interconnected set of components that are linked through
interconnections that function to create an outcome. The interaction of components
and their interactions create system behavior. A bicycle is a system composed of a set
of components that interact to provide transportation, much like the organ systems in
our body that have a coordinated function which enable all the physiological processes
for life possible.
How does a System work?

The Earth and its subsystems “work” by movement or transfer of matter and energy
and the processes involved with these transfers. For example sunlight (energy) warms
(process) a body of water (matter) and the water evaporates (process) into the
atmosphere. Later on, the water condenses (process) back into a liquid and the rain
(matter) falls (process) on the land and runs off (process) downslope back to the sea.
Two Basic Kinds of Systems: Open and Closed System

Most systems, like the earth system have matter and energy that flow freely through
the system. Our earth system runs smoothly due to the combination of smaller
components that link our planet together. To understand our system, we need to start
with matter and energy. Matter, which is anything that has mass and takes up space is
one of the two most basic components of our universe. Matter can be in the form of
atoms, molecules or large objects both living and non-living. Energy, the other basic
component, is the ability to do work. The transfer of energy comes in many forms like
heat, light or electromagnetic waves. In order to know whether a system is open or
closed, transfer in matter and energy must be determined. A closed system is a system
where only energy is transferred or exchanged with its surroundings. Matter is not
included. An open system on the other hand includes the transfer and exchange of
both energy and matter with the surrounding system. All of the systems on Earth are
classified as open systems. However, the Earth system as a whole is considered a
closed system because there is a limit to how much matter is exchanged.

Level basic types of systems.

involve the inputs and outputs of both energy and matter b.)Earth is basically a closed
system. Closed system allows only energy to pass in and out.
Second Subsystem: GEOSPHERE
The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's
interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's
surface. The Earth itself is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, with a radius of
6,357 kilometers (km) from the Earth's center to the North Pole and 6,378 km from
the center to the Equator.
LAYERS OF THE GEOSPHERE
CRUST
The crust is everything we can see and study directly. The thinnest layer of the Earth,
the crust still measures about 40 km on average, ranging from 5–70 km (~3–44 miles)
in depth. But at the scale of the planet, that’s less than the skin of an apple. There are
two types of crust: continental and oceanic crust. Oceanic crust can be found at the
bottom of the oceans or below the continental crust; it is generally harder and deeper,
consisting of denser rocks like basalt, while continental crust contains granite-type
rocks and sediments. The continental crust thicker on land. The crust is not one rigid
thing, but it’s split into several tectonic plates. These tectonic plates are not stationary,
but are in relative motion one from another. Depending on the relationship and
geologic setting, there are three types of tectonic plate boundaries: convergent
(moving one toward the other), divergent (moving away from the other) and
transform (moving laterally). These plates “float” on the soft, plastic upper mantle. The
boundary that separates the upper mantle from the crust is called Mohorovicic
discontinuity.
MANTLE
The mantle is Earth’s second layer. The mantle has two main parts, the upper mantle
and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is attached to the layer above it called the
crust. Together the crust and the upper mantle form a fixed shell called the
lithosphere, which is broken into sections called tectonic plates. Directly below the
lithosphere is a less fixed, warmer region of the upper mantle called asthenosphere.
Here the temperatures are so high that the rock that makes up the asthenosphere
melts into liquid. Only tiny parts of the asthenosphere are liquid but it is soft enough to
move pushing around the plates above. Gutenberg discontinuity is the boundary
between the lower mantle and the outer core.
CORE
When the earth was formed, the heaviest materials sank to the center. These materials
form the Earth’s core which are divided into outer and inner core. The outer core is
made mostly of iron and nickel. The outer core is approximately 2300 km thick. It is

Province of Laguna
veryI Institutionally
Level hot with Accredited
a temperature
between 40000C and 50000C. Because of the very high
temperature, the outer core is liquid. Earth’s molten metallic core gave rise to
magnetic field which is very crucial to life on our planet. It protects the planet from the
charged particles of the solar wind. Without the shield of the magnetic field, the solar
wind would strip earth’s atmosphere of the ozone layer that protects life from harmful
ultraviolet radiation.
The inner core is about 1250 km thick and is the hottest layer. The temperature of the
inner core is believed to be approximately 5400 degrees Celsius. This heat is caused by
three elements: residual heat from the formation of the earth, gravitational forces
from the moon and the sun and the radioactive decay of the earth’s inner elements.
The nickel alloy that makes up the earth’s inner core are Nickel and iron. It must be
noted that even this is the hottest layer, it still exist as solid due to the extremely high
pressures that it is experiencing. The boundary between the outer and inner core is
also referred to as Lehmann discontinuity.
Third Subsystem: HYDROSPHERE
The hydrosphere is the sum of all water on Earth and the water cycle that distributes it
around the planet. Earth is unique in the solar system for its abundant surface waters.
Our orbital distance from the sun, in addition to our unique atmosphere, gives Earth
the right temperature in our middle-aged solar system to have water as a liquid, and
lots of it. It's because of the hydrosphere that life flourishes on Earth.
Just as important as the existence of water is the hydrologic cycle that moves water
around the globe. See the figure below:
Driven by solar energy, surface waters evaporate into the atmosphere, condense, and
fall back to the surface as precipitation, shaping continents, creating rivers, and filling
lakes.
Fourth Subsystem: BIOSPHERE
The biosphere contains the entirety of Earth’s living things. It is sometimes referred to as
the “zone of life”. From a geophysical standpoint, biosphere is the global ecological
system integrating all living things and their relationship including their interactions
with the elements of the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.

Province of Laguna

is divided
into biomes. Biomes are the world’s major communities.
They are classified according to the predominant vegetation characterized by
adaptations of organisms to that particular climate.
Five Major Biomes
1. Aquatic –includes freshwater (ponds, lakes, rivers) and marine (ocean, estuaries).
The aquatic region houses numerous species of plants and animals.
2. Forest- can be tropical, temperate, boreal forest and taiga. Each type of forest has
distinctive features dominated by grasses rather than large shrubs or trees.
3. Desert- characterized by low rainfall (less than 50 cm) per year. Most deserts have
specialized vegetation as well as specialized animals that can adapt to its condition.
4. Tundra- coldest of all biomes. It has low biotic diversity and simple vegetation.
5. Grassland- made of rolling hills of various grasses and could be divided into
savannas and temperate grasslands. . They receive just enough rain to sustain grass
but not enough to grow many trees. There are few tress that grow in grasslands but
sporadic wildfires keep them under control.
