Question

Earth's subsystems are the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Energy and matter are transferred when Earth's subsystems interact.
Describe which of Earth's subsystems are involved when a hurricane passes through an area. Explain how these different subsystems affect one another.

Answer 1

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

The Earth is made of several subsystems or "spheres" that interact to form a complex and continuously changing whole called the Earth system. Scale

Processes operating in the Earth system take place on spatial scales varying from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales that range from milliseconds to billions of years.

Examples of instantaneous - breathing; rotation of the Earth; earthquake

Examples of long term - making coal; plate tectonics

Cycles

The Earth system is characterized by numerous overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled over and over again. Cycles involve multiple spheres and systems interactions.

Examples of cycles: day and night; rock cycle; seasons

Energy

The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.

Humans and the Earth System

People are part of the Earth system and they impact and are impacted by its materials and processes.
