LESSON 1: THE EARTH SUBSYSTEMS

WHAT’S IN
1. Evaporation
2. Condensation
3. Precipitation
4. Infiltration
5. Transpiration
6. Surface run-off

1. Yes
2. Hydrosphere and Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and Lithosphere, Hydrosphere and
Biosphere.

WHAT’S NEW
I FEEL YOU, EL NIÑO!
1. Unusual warm ocean temperature, drought, respiratory diseases, changes in weather
patterns, and lower sea levels/higher sea levels.
2. A. What is El Niño?
 El Niño is a climate pattern that describes the unusual warming of surface waters
in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.
B. Which particular areas of the Earth interacts with each other based on
Figure 2 illustration?
  Westward-blowing trade winds weaken along the Equator. These changes in air
pressure and wind speed cause warm surface water to move eastward along the
Equator, from the western Pacific to the coast of northern South America.
C. How does this interaction cause El Niño?
 Because of the weakening of the trade winds, it results in pushing of warm
surface water to the west and less cold water to the east and resulted to El Niño

ASSESSMENT
1. What can you say about the Earth’s subsystems?
 It has four major subsystems namely lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and
atmosphere. The Earth’s subsystems play a significant role and interact with each
other that influences certain phenomenon.
2. Can one subsystem be independent from the rest?
 No, because every subsystem affects each property as a whole.
3. Which sphere extends from the Earth’s core to the Earth’s crust?
 Geosphere/Lithosphere
4. How does biosphere depend on the atmosphere and hydrosphere to survive?
 Plants (biosphere) grow in the ground (lithosphere), but to survive they absorb
water (hydrosphere) and carbon dioxide (atmosphere). Nor are plants merely
absorbing: they also give back oxygen to the atmosphere, and by providing
nutrition to animals, they contribute to the biosphere.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

A. TRUE OR FALSE
1. FALSE
2. FALSE
3. FALSE
4. TRUE
5. FALSE
B. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1. Crust, mantle, outer core and inner core
2. Convection current
3. Oceanic crust and continental crust

WHAT I CAN DO
A. Typhoons affect the atmosphere due to the debris that gets caught in typhoon would
contaminate the air we breathe.  Typhoons negatively impact the biosphere due to its
destruction on trees and plants, which gives animals less food sources. Typhoons affect
the geosphere by displacing soil and land. They can move buildings with the strong gusts
of wind they possess and this could lead to property damage. Typhoons impact the
hydrosphere by delivering debris from buildings and toxic substances to the water. Which
has the potential to contaminate the water, and causing damage to both human and
wildlife.
B. Early in its history it got hot enough (from gravitational compression, the
energy of impacting bodies, and radiation, to have partially melted. When
this happened, the densest material sank toward Earth's center, while the less
dense stuff rose to the top. It's a little like a hot chocolate-- foam floats to the
surface, and the heavy syrup settles to the bottom. The major layers of the
Earth, starting from its center, are the inner core, the outer core, the mantle,
and the crust. These layers formed as the building blocks of Earth, known as
planetesimals, collided and collapsed under their own gravity around 4.5
billion years ago.
