The
Earth system is made up of different spheres. These specific subsystems operate
to support life on the planet. Equally, each one functions differently but also
interacting with one another to promote a specific purpose and function.
Hydrosphere
is part of the Earth system. It is comprised of all Earth’s water. Biosphere is
composed of all living things on earth such as plants, animals, and the
ecological communities it creates. The Atmosphere is comprised of gasses and
air. This system influences the development of air temperature as well as the
weather system. Lithosphere is made up of rocks and hard solid land in the
Earth’s crust. Examples of these are mountains, plains, valleys etc.
As
far as interaction is concerned, a simple way that the Earth’s system interacts
is through the development of rain. Specifically, this relationship happens
with the atmosphere and hydrosphere. It emphasizes the process of precipitation
where water is moving up from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere. This in turn
influences the creation of rain clouds and after interaction with specific
components provides rain.
Another simple way to explain the Earth
system interaction is through the process called photosynthesis. This is
considered the process wherein plants use sunlight coming from the atmosphere to
produce food for its sustenance. In turn, it also releases oxygen and helps the
circulation of air in a specific area. This particular approach examines the
relationship between the biosphere, atmosphere and to some extent the geosphere
particularly in providing the land area where plants can grow.
Lastly,
the interaction of the Earth system can also be seen in tsunamis. Specifically,
this part involves the geosphere and hydrosphere. Tsunamis usually occur when
there is a movement of the Earth’s crust under water. This movement then
influences the movement of waves and gives a possibility for tsunamis to occur.
