INTRODUCTION TO THE EARTH
SYSTEMS
Science Presentation
Presented by Ingrid, Hope,Kethia and Dolie.
WHAT ARE EARTH'S
SYSTEMS?
Earth is made up of four main systems: the geosphere, biosphere,
hydrosphere, and atmosphere. Each system plays a crucial role in how
our planet works. Let’s explore these systems and see how they interact
with each other. By learning about these systems and how they interact,
you can better understand the complex and fascinating world we live
in. Enjoy exploring and discovering the amazing connections in Earth’s
systems!
Biosphere.
is the region of the Earth where
life can be found including the
soil,water and air.
BENEFITS OF BIOSPHERE
-Biosphere reserves to contribute to the
region’s environmental,economic and social
sustainability.
-Biosphere provides essential resources like
food and water that humans rely on for their
survival.
-Biosphere supports various systems like
pollination and seed dispersal.
Hydrosphere
This refers to the water that is on the surface of the planet, underground and in
the air .
Every lake, ocean, river, glacier and even water vapor is part of the
hydrosphere.
Benefits of hydrosphere
The hydrosphere supports all life forms. It helps in some important processes of life.
It is a home to some organisms.
It is also a part of a living cell, the smallest unit of a living things.
Plays in an important role in cycling of nutrients, including nitrogen, carbon dioxide, phosphorous.
Facts about the hydrosphere
The hydrosphere covers the largst part of the arth, which is 71 %.
Most of the hydrosphere is salty, which is 97 %, only 3%is fresh water, for terrestrial
use.
Let’s watch this video for further information
THE ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere is the layer of gases
surrounding Earth. It’s what we breathe and
what protects us from the sun’s harmful
rays. The atmosphere contains different
gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, and
water vapor.
ATMOSPHERE
Benefits of the atmosphere
-Protection from harmful solar radiatio
_ It supports water cycle
-It is a breathable air.
-It helps in weather and climate formation
Layers of the atmosphere
The atmosphere is made up of five main
layers, The video above will help us
explore more about the layers of
atmosphere .
GEOSPHERE
The Geosphere basically means the solid earth. It
is composed of rocks, hills, mountains ,trees etc.
Basically everything we see and can’t see that
surrounds us.
The Geosphere is a combination of all
the spheres creating the earth. The
spheres are atmosphere, biosphere, and
the hydrosphere
Examples are oceans, rivers, lakes,
hills, mountains,trees, plants, and
everything else in the earth’s
environment.

THE WATER CYCLE
The water cycle shows how water moves between the hydrosphere and the atmosphere.
Evaporation: When the sun
Condensation: As the water Precipitation: When these
heats up water in rivers,
vapor rises, it cools down droplets come together
lakes, or oceans, the water
and changes back into tiny and get heavy enough,
turns into water vapor (a
water droplets, forming they fall back to Earth as
gas) and rises into the

Geosphere and Biosphere Interact
Plants and Soil: Animal Habitats: Erosion and Landforms:
Plants grow in the soil, which is Animals use the land for Animals and plants can change
part of the geosphere. They their homes. For example, the land. For example, tree roots
take nutrients from the soil to rabbits dig burrows in the can break rocks apart, and
grow. Without soil, many plants ground, and birds build nests animals like beavers build dams
wouldn’t have a place to grow. in trees that grow in the soil. that can create new ponds.
Atmosphere and Hydrosphere Interact
Evaporation and Weather: Cloud Formation: Weather Patterns:
When water evaporates, it Clouds form when water The movement of water
adds water vapor to the vapor condenses in the between the hydrosphere and
atmosphere. This water atmosphere. The type of atmosphere helps create
vapor can later form clouds cloud can affect the kind of different weather conditions
and precipitation, affecting weather we experience, like around the world.

DISTRIBUTION OF EARTH’S WATER
Water vapor released from volcanic eruptions
that eventually condensed to form oceans.
Water brought to Earth by asteroids and
comets during the early solar system.
Continuous movement of water through
evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
