The main forms of energy are: POTENTIAL POTENTIAL ENERGY KINETIC ENERGY ENERGY Potential energy is energy If you set an object in stored by virtue of its motion, it has the energy position. An object with of movement. An object in stored energy has the motion is capable of work. potential of doing work.  ENERGY, MATTER, AND SYSTEMS WHAT IS MATTER? I Wonder… What is matter made of? Can matter be created? Can matter be destroyed? By answering these prompts, TRY TO DEFINE MATTER!  ENERGY, MATTER, AND SYSTEMS WHAT IS MATTER?

Are heat and temperature the same? Why does matter need heat? By answering these prompts, HOW IS ENERGY TRANSFERRED?  ENERGY, MATTER, AND SYSTEMS ENERGY & MATTER Energy Transfer Energy can be transferred through several means. Heat is one way energy is transferred. What is Heat? KEY IDEA #1 KEY IDEA #2 KEY IDEA #3 All matter are made up of These molecules are These molecules collide atoms. These atoms always moving.

By answering these prompts, WHAT IS A SYSTEM?  ENERGY, MATTER, AND SYSTEMS SYSTEMS Definition of a System A system is any group of interacting parts or portion of the universe that can be observed, analyzed, and isolated from its other components. Systems are enclosed by a boundary. The nature of this boundary determines the type of a system.

We know that for matter to undertake any form of change, energy must be involved. However, not all systems allow the exchange of matter and energy with its surroundings and other systems.

Energy, in the form of radiation, can enter MATTER Earth. ENERGY Meanwhile, energy from the Earth also gets released to space in the same manner. However, the matter that enters Earth is quantitatively too immaterial relative to the total mass of the whole planet.  2 EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH IS A CLOSED SYSTEM As a closed system, energy CLOSED SYSTEM in the form of radiation from MATTER space can enter the Earth, ENERGY and the Earth radiates energy back to space. Meanwhile, the matter that enters earth, such as space debris, are too infinitesimal to be worth considering.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH IS A CLOSED SYSTEM As a system, it is composed of numerous and various interacting parts. However, the four main components that make up Earth’s system are known as subsystems.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH IS A CLOSED SYSTEM The Earth is composed of four basic subsystems: atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. ATMOSPHERE ATMOSPHERE HYDROSPHERE HYDROSPHERE GEOSPHERE GEOSPHERE BIOSPHERE BIOSPHERE.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere It is the Earth’s life-supporting, gaseous envelope that is comprised predominantly of nitrogen and oxygen. KEY KEY KEY IDEA #1 IDEA #2 IDEA #3 The atmosphere serves as The atmosphere stretches Made up of 78% nitrogen, a barrier from space as far as 10,000km from 21% oxygen, and traces debris, cosmic rays, and Earth’s surface, and has of other gases. The solar winds. five (5) layers. abundance of oxygen helps life flourish.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Exosphere The uppermost layer that blends with what is considered outer space. The pull of Earth’s gravity is weak enough that molecules of gas escape into outer space.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Thermosphere Located below the exosphere. Not much is known about the thermosphere except that temperatures increase with altitude. The high temperature is caused by solar radiation.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Mesosphere The coldest temperatures are near the top of the mesosphere. The atmosphere is thin, but thick enough for meteors to burn up as they pass through. The upper boundary is called the mesopause.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Stratosphere Strong, non-turbulent, winds. Ideal for aircraft. Contains the ozone layer.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Stratosphere – The Ozone Layer Consists of molecules made of three (3) oxygen atoms. The amount of ozone is declining steadily. Linked to chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Troposphere Almost all weather develop here. This includes seasonal weather patterns, such as El Niño and La Niña. Water vapor, dust, and ash are mostly in this layer. It is where the greenhouse effect occurs.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Troposphere – Greenhouse Effect  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Atmosphere: Troposphere – Greenhouse Effect  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Hydrosphere The subsystem that includes the all the Earth’s water, such as streams, lakes, underground water, oceans, and even ice and snow.

Subduction Lateral Sliding Spreading Plate movements are caused by the Earth’s internal heat. Along with other geological processes, these continuously alter the shape of the solid surface of the Earth.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Geosphere: Magnetosphere Earth has a magnetosphere or a geomagnetic field which is closely associated with Earth’s geosphere. Earth has a magnetic north pole and magnetic south pole; not to be confused with the geographic north and south poles  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Geosphere: Magnetosphere A planet must meet several requirements to have its own geomagnetic field: ROTATION INTERIOR FLUID CONDUCTIVE ENERGY The planet should The interior must The interior fluid The core must have a be rotating fast have a fluid must be able to source of energy to enough. medium. conduct electricity. propel convection.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Geosphere: The Earth’s Core Magnetosphere The motion of the materials in the Earth’s outer metallic core results in the generation of a magnetic field. The Earth’s magnetosphere is the atmosphere’s primary defense against deterioration. Without our atmosphere, which protects us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and traps heat, life wouldn't be possible.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Biosphere This subsystem comprises all life-forms on Earth, including the human subsystem called anthroposphere.

A food web consists of all the food chains in a single ecosystem. Detritivore Carnivore Detritus Food Chain – This begins with dead Detritus or organic material. Nutrients and energy from food “Dead material” pass into decomposers and detritivores, which are further eaten by smaller carnivores. Grazing Food Chain – This starts with green Plants or plants, passes through herbivores, and then to Vegetation carnivores. Energy in the lowest trophic level is acquired from photosynthesis. Herbivore Carnivore  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Biosphere: Biosphere Reserves People play an important part in maintaining the flow of energy in the biosphere. Sometimes, however, people disrupt the flow (e.g., oil spills, and deforestation). In the early 1970s, the United Nations established a project called Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB), which promotes sustainable development. A NETWORK biosphere reserves exists to establish a working, balanced relationship between people and the natural world.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS The Biosphere: Biosphere Reserves Each biosphere reserve consists of three interconnected zones: Core Transition Areas They comprise a strictly protected zone that The transition area is where contributes to the conservation of landscapes, communities foster socio-culturally ecosystems, species and genetic variation. and ecologically sustainable economic and human activities. Buffer Zones They surround or adjoin the core area(s) and are used for activities compatible with sound ecological practices that can reinforce scientific research, monitoring, training and education.  EARTH AS A SYSTEM AND ITS SUBSYSTEMS EARTH’S SUBSYSTEMS SCAN ME TO EXPLORE Albay, Palawan, and Puerto Galera biosphere reserves!

An alteration in one may trigger a chain reaction that will affect another. The interactions of the Earth’s subsystems bring about changes in the environment. These changes may result from the inputs and outputs of a system: Outputs Inputs Losses of Additions each system in each system (e.g., precipitation).
