    Chapter 1: The Origin and Structure of Earth

    Uploaded by

    Paulene Marie Sicat
    This chapter discusses the origin and structure of Earth. It describes Earth's four main subsystems: the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere is made up of where life exists on Earth. The geosphere is the solid outer part of Earth including the mantle and crust. The hydrosphere comprises Earth's liquid water such as oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. The atmosphere is the thin layer of gases surrounding Earth composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen. It insulates Earth and blocks ultraviolet radiation. The chapter also discusses requirements for life on Earth including liquid water, a habitable temperature zone, and a heat source.

    Earth Subsystems

    Scientist have recently discovered that liquid water used


    to exist on Mars.

    Do you think life could have eventually


    evolved on Mars if water still exists
    there now?
    Earth Subsystems

    BIOSPHERE HYDROSPHERE

    GEOSPHERE ATMOSPHERE
    Earth Subsystems
     The biosphere is made up of
    BIOSPHERE the parts of Earth where life
    exists.
     The biosphere extends from
    the deepest root systems of
    trees, to the dark
    environment of ocean
    trenches, to lush rain forests
    and high mountaintops.
    Earth Subsystems
    GEOSPHERE  The Geosphere is the solid, outer
    part of the Earth.
     It includes the brittle portion of the
    mantle and the crust, the outermost
    layers of Earth’s structure.
     It is bounded by the atmosphere
    above and the asthenosphere
    (another part of the upper mantle)
    below.
    Earth Subsystems
     Comprises the Earth’s liquid water.
    HYDROSPHERE  The hydrosphere covers about 70%
    of the surface of the Earth and is the
    home for many plants and animals.
     It can be divided into two groups:
    fresh water and salt water.
     Fresh water involves spring, river
    and lake, however, salt water
    includes ocean and sea.
    Earth Subsystems
     The Earth’s atmosphere is a thin layer of
    ATMOSPHERE gases that surround the Earth.
     It composed of 78% nitrogen, 21%
    oxygen, 0.9% argon, o.o3% carbon
    dioxide, and trace amounts of other
    gases.
     This thin gaseous layer insulates the
    Earth from extreme temperatures; it
    keeps heat insider the atmosphere and it
    also blocks the Earth from much of the
    Sun’s incoming ultraviolet radiation.
