How does Earth Systems are impacted by climate change?

1. HYDROSPHERE contains all water found in

   • Lakes
   • Rivers
   • Oceans
     • Hurricanes
       • Higher ocean temperatures can fuel stronger hurricanes
     • Acidifcation: is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans
   • Evaporation: a liquid as it changes into the gas phase

2. BIOSPHERE is where all living beings

   • Air
   • Land
     • Animals
     • Plants
       • Carbon Cycle: complexity and connectivity of the Earth system
       • Photosynthesis: transform light energy into chemical energy
         • Transpiration: is the evaporation of water from plants.
   • Water

3. ATMOSPHERE our first sphere

   • Weather
     • Clouds
       • Storms
       • Rain

4. GEOSPHERE extends from the surface of the earth to its core

   • Magma drive plate
     • Convention currents: heat generated from the radioactive decay
   • Sediments
   • Rocks
   • Molten rocks
   • Soils
   • Weathering: is the breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals
   • Erosion: the process of eroding or being eroded

5. CRYOSPHERE portion of the Earth’s surface where water is in solid form

   • Snow
   • Sea ice
     • it reflects sunlight back to space.
   • Glaciers
     • Temperature: can in turn speed up the melting of the ice
