Matter Transfer – interconnections between components and the elements of the Earth system Ex. The roots of the plants (biosphere) draw water and nutrients from the lithosphere, exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, and send water into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. Plants also die and decompose to become part of the lithosphere. Water evaporates from rivers (hydrosphere) and the soil (lithosphere) to become part of the atmosphere. Oxygen in the atmosphere dissolves in a river (hydrosphere). Fish (biosphere) draw dissolved oxygen into their bodies from the hydrosphere INTERCONNECTIONS & PROCESSES 2. Energy Transfer – key process of the Earth System Ex. The sun warms the lithosphere, which transfer its heat to the atmosphere; warmed air transfer heat to cooler land surfaces; evaporation from a lake (hydrosphere) transfer heat to the atmosphere; rivers and ocean currents redistribute heat energy; precipitation can warm or cool the lithosphere on which it falls INTERCONNECTIONS & PROCESSES 3. Change Leads to - Because of the interconnectedness, changes in one sphere bring about Change changes in the others Ex. Droughts (atmosphere) can cause severe changes in the hydrosphere, the biosphere, and the lithosphere. Heavy rain also changes the amount of soil moisture and frequent raining leads to erosions in the lithosphere.  Assignment - Task: By Group Poster making/illustration that represents your environment showing the interaction among the four spheres Deadline: Friday RUBRICS FOR POSTER MAKING Description 5pts 3pts Creativity and The poster is exceptionally The posted is acceptably Attractiveness creative and attractive in terms creative and attractive though of design, layout, and neatness it may be a bit messy.
