How have Earth's four systems interacted to shape the environment where you live?
Helen [10]

Explanation:

The four systems of the earth are:

  • Biosphere: zone of life
  • Hydropshere : zone of water
  • Atmosphere: zone of gases
  • Geosphere: the solid and rocky earth

These four zones are intertwined and they greatly shape every environment on earth.

  In my locality, farming activities depends on an interplay between these spheres. As an agrarian community, the soil for cultivating crops is a product of weathering of the geosphere. This releases vital minerals that allow the plants to grow. Plants also need rainfall and moisture to grow. All living organisms on earth in fact require water. Water is used as one of the chemical substances for most chemical processes in living organisms.

The atmosphere is the source of gaseous exchange and where most weather elements are domiciled. Weather affects everything on earth from the rate of weathering of the geosphere to the levels of water in rivers.

The biosphere also interact with all the four systems directly.
