How is the Earth’s System part of a larger system?
Scientists divide the Earth’s System into four sub-systems: biosphere (life), lithosphere (rocks and stuff), hydrosphere (water), and atmosphere (air). 01.3 Four systems While studying the parts of the Earth System it is important to look for the emergent properties of the Earth System. How do the parts of the Earth System come together to form a sum that is greater than the sum of its parts? This question is best answered by focusing on the Earth’s matter, energy, and life. Think back to your seventh grade science days. What is matter? Matter is stuff. Anything that has mass and volume (weighs something and takes up space) is matter. What happens to the matter on Earth? MATTER CYCLES. Essentially all the matter on Earth has been here since the Earth was formed. It does not go away and we do not get new matter. Earth recycles. We get rain year after year, century after century, eon after eon, because Earth recycles water. Living organisms can breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide
