PEE 1 m
refers to the interaction of biotic and abiotic factors and earth's spheres that contribute to the transformation, storage and retrieval of energy that is essential for survival.
Earth system
is a system that is not self-contained and freely exchanges energy and matter with its surroundings.
Open system
is an open system for energy
Earth
Inputs of energy from the sun flow into the system and energy flow back to space from the system because of the atmosphere.
Open system
a system that is shut off from the surrounding environment and that is self contained
Closed System
Earth is an open system for
energy
Earth is a closed system for
matter
is made up of elements and because of gravity, all these elements do not leave the system.
Earth
Third planet from the sun and the only planet in the Solar system that can sustain life.
Earth
Weather and climate are experienced on Earth because of the interaction of the hydrosphere and geosphere
ATMOSPHERE
A thin, gaseous envelope surrounding the Earth
ATMOSPHERE
Ozone is a component of the ___________ that protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun
atmosphere
DIFFERENT LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
TROPOSPHERE
STRATOSPHERE
MESOSPHERE
THERMOSPHERE
EXOSPHERE
All weather phenomena occur in this layer
TROPOSPHERE
It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where temperature decreases with altitude.
TROPOSPHERE
In this lay temperature increases as altitude increases due to the presence of the ozone layer
STRATOSPHERE
is the layer above the troposphere.
STRATOSPHERE
Asteroids are burned up in this region.
MESOSPHERE
is the layer above the stratosphere and the temperature in this layer decreases with altitude reaching up to about -90 °C.
MESOSPHERE
Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis are found in
THERMOSPHERE
The temperature in this layer increases as altitude increases because of the radiation from the sun.
THERMOSPHERE
is the layer above mesosphere.
THERMOSPHERE
EXOSPHERE
Outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere
Includes all of the microbes, plants and animal and their relationship with one another
BIOSPHERE
Biological component of Earth
BIOSPHERE
Comprise the visible solid layer down to the center of the Earth
GEOSPHERE
Largest sphere of Earth
GEOSPHERE
Solid region of the Earth
GEOSPHERE
outermost and thinnest layer of the
Crust
is made up of iron and magnesium silicate
MANTLE
thickest layer and denser than crust
MANTLE
Found in the innermost center of the earth that is made up of iron-nickel alloy
