![Page 1: What is Earth Science? What are the Earth System’s four Spheres? What are cycles and how do they work?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0201a28abf838cd2409/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Earth as a System
What is Earth Science?What are the Earth System’s four Spheres?What are cycles and how do they work?

System: A kind of model often used to describe the natural world.
Closed System: ENERGY enters and may leave, but MATTER does not leave
Open System: ENERGY and MATTER are free to enter and leave
Is the Earth an Open or Closed System?

Earth is considered closed, there are a few exceptions: hydrogen escapes & meterorites enter.

Volcano Energy is released, matter released as lava Light bulb Electrical Energy enters, light is released Tree Sunlight, water, & Carbon Dioxide in, water and oxygen
released, seeds and leaves drop to ground Ocean Sunlight enters, water enters through runoff and
precipitation, water leaves through evaporation Boiling Water Heat enters, heat and vapors are released
OPEN or CLOSED?

Atmosphere: gaseous envelope surrounding the Earth. Provides Oxygen & Carbon Dioxide, also absorbs and blocks harmful radiation. Where all weather occurs.
Geosphere: all physical features of the Earth (except water) such as rocks, mineral resources, metals, mountains, beaches, and lithospheric plates.
Hydrosphere: Includes all of Earth’s water including oceans, rivers, lakes, and groundwater, it is continually recycled. 97% salt water, 3% fresh water, 1% usable.
Biosphere: All living things
Discuss interactions among the Spheres

Carbon in our Earth

The movement of Energy into and out of the Earth System
A.K.A. The Energy Budget Balance is the Key: equal energy in and out
The Energy Cycle
![Page 13: What is Earth Science? What are the Earth System’s four Spheres? What are cycles and how do they work?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c0201a28abf838cd2409/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Solar Energy
99.985% of total energy
It comes from nuclear reactions in the sun
Drives winds, ocean currents, waves, and weather.

Geo means Earth Thermal means Heat
0.013%
Drives the movement of Earth’s crust, Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Geysers
Important role in the Rock Cycle
Geothermal Energy

0.002% of the energy budget
Results from the moon’s pull on the Earth’s oceans
Powerful enough to slow down the Earth
