The Earth Is A System
• Everything on the planet is integrated.• There are 4 main parts:
1. Geosphere (Rock)2. Atmosphere (Air)3. Hydrosphere (Water)4. Biosphere (Living Things)
• Each of these parts overlaps the other!
![Page 3: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

The Hydrosphere
• Extends from the bottom of the Ocean to the tops of the clouds in the Atmosphere.– The Hydrosphere is 29km tall!
• Covers ¾ of the planet!• The water in the Hydrosphere is constantly
moving between the Atmosphere, the Geosphere, and back to the Hydrosphere.
![Page 5: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Water Cycle
• There are 3 ways water can move:1. Evaporation= Liquid water is heated by the
sun until it turns to water vapor and rises into the Atmosphere.
2. Condensation = Water vapor cools around dust particles and collects in groups.
3. Precipitation= Falling water drops enter the Geosphere or Hydrosphere.

Oceans
• Each Ocean is connected to the other Oceans of the planet.
• Ocean water has Sodium and Chlorine that make it salty. – Salinity = concentration of dissolved mineral salt.
• The oceans have a range of temperatures!• All oceans have currents of warm or cold
water moving through them.
![Page 8: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ocean Temperatures
• The surface of the ocean is warmed by the sun.– the sun cannot reach all the way to the bottom!– As you travel down, the water reaches the freezing
point.• There are 3 layers based on temperature:– Surface Zone/Mixed Layer= Top 100-200m. Warm!– Thermocline= A band 50-100m wide of decreasing
temperature.– Deep Zone= 500m down. Water is just above freezing!
![Page 9: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Temperature Regulation
• The most important job of the Ocean is to regulate the Earth’s temperature!
• The Ocean absorbs heat energy and slowly releases it.
• The Ocean can absorb half of the energy coming from the sun every day.
• Ocean water that is heated up always starts to move……
![Page 11: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ocean Surface Temperature
![Page 12: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ocean Currents
• Water moves in 2 ways in the Ocean:1. Wind Driven= Surface Currents.– These currents can be hot or cold water.– They always change the climate of the land they pass!– They transport hot or cold water thousands of miles.
2. Temperature Driven= Deep Currents.– These currents are always COLD.– They move slowly along the ocean floor.– Their movement down and away, allows warm water
to continue circulating.

Fresh Water
• 3% of the water on Earth is Fresh Water.• 2% is locked up in Glaciers and Ice Caps.• The remaining 1% is in:– Lakes /Rivers– The Atmosphere– Ground Water
• Most Fresh Water moves around in River Systems.
![Page 16: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ground Water
• Less than 1% of the water on Earth is Ground Water.• All water that falls as precipitation has a chance of
becoming trapped in the Ground Water.• Aquifers = Rock layers that store water. • Recharge Zone= Surface area above an Aquifer
where water collects and enters the Aquifer.• Greene County has it’s own Aquifer!

The Atmosphere!
• The Atmosphere is made of:– 78% Nitrogen– 21% Oxygen– 1% Everything else!
• The Atmosphere is constantly changing.– Gasses are being added and taken away.
• The Atmosphere serves as a “safety blanket” for the Earth.
![Page 26: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

![Page 27: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Composition
• Nitrogen enters the atmosphere when:– Volcanoes erupt.– Organic material decays.
• Oxygen enters the atmosphere when:– Produced by plants!
• Other gasses include: – Argon, Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor.
• Atmospheric Dust is an essential part.– It is made of dirt, ash, smoke, aerosols, ect.

![Page 30: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Air Pressure
• The atmosphere is constantly being pulled towards the Earth’s surface by gravity.– This means there are more molecules near the
ground.– Because there are more molecules, there is more
pressure from them• Most of the mass of the atmosphere is located
within 30km of the ground.• Air pressure is highest at the Earth’s surface.• If you climb a mountain, air pressure goes down
because there are less molecules.
![Page 31: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

The Mesosphere
• The coldest layer of the atmosphere!• As altitude increases, temperature decreases.• Meteorites burn up in this layer.• We actually know very little about the
Mesosphere!– Planes cannot fly this high.– Rockets cannot fly this low.
• There are ‘waves’ of atmosphere that travel through this layer.

The Thermosphere
• The lowest section is called the Ionosphere.– Full of electrically charged ions!– These ions usually radiate light in the form of our
Northern Lights.• As altitude increases, temperature increases.– Nitrogen and Oxygen atoms absorb solar radiation.– The temperature is 2,000C– Because the density is so low, the air doesn’t feel
hot!
![Page 46: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Energy Movement
• There are 3 ways energy can move:– Radiation: transfer of energy across space.– Conduction: transfer of energy through direct
physical contact.– Convection: transfer of energy by air currents.
• When solar radiation hits the atmosphere, any of the 3 movements can happen.
![Page 48: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

What happens to solar radiation?
5% reflected by Earth’s surface.
50% absorbed by Earth’s surface.
20% absorbed by ozone, clouds, and atmospheric gasses.
25% Scattered and reflected by clouds and air.
![Page 50: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Weather
• Air is constantly moving up, down, and sideways.– Less dense air gets warmed by the sun and rises.– Dense cool air sinks towards the ground.
• Eventually, they create a circular current called a Convection Current.
• Clouds form when warm moist air rises and suddenly cools.
![Page 51: Ch 3 Notes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/540581bd8d7f729e768b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

The Greenhouse Effect
• The Ozone layer acts exactly like a glass window.– Unlimited energy can come in.– No energy can go out!
• If The Greenhouse effect did not exist, Earth could not support life.
• If the Greenhouse effect becomes too strong, the Earth won’t be able to keep supporting life!
