2.2 The Earth’s Spheres

8. The Earth is a System
Scientists used to study the Earth only through its 4 separate branches.
They did not see how these branches connected.
The Earth is actually a system of parts that work together to make it function.
In a system, matter and energy are transferred.
Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space
Energy: The ability to do work (forms: heat, light, vibrations, waves)

9. The Earth is a System

10. Types of Systems
Open System: A system in which both matter and energy are exchanged with the surroundings
Closed System: A system in which energy, but not matter, is exchanged with the surroundings
The Earth is made up of open systems, but the Earth itself is a closed system.

11. The Earth is a System

12. The Earth’s Spheres
The Earth’s 4 spheres store all of the matter in the Earth and allow it to be transferred.
Atmosphere: Matter in the gaseous form (air)
Hydrosphere: Matter in the liquid form (water)
Geosphere: Matter in the solid form (rock, soil)
Biosphere: Living (organic) matter
Once matter in this sphere dies, it goes to the other spheres.
