    Subsystem Interconnection

    The document summarizes some of the major interactions between the Earth's systems: atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and the Earth-universe system. The atmosphere provides gases for respiration by organisms and affects the escape of heat radiation to space. Solar heating warms the land and oceans unequally, helping drive winds that power ocean currents. Changes to one system, such as atmospheric gases from the biosphere, can impact other systems in a chain of interactions across the Earth.

    1 Interactions of Some Major Earth Systems

    Only a few of the most important interactions are listed here. Note that systems can interact with
    themselves. Also note that many interactions work both ways. For example, the atmosphere provides
    gasses for respiration by organisms and the plants gasses given off by organisms affect the atmosphere.
    Chains of interactions also occur, for example, solar heating warms the land, unequal heating of land and
    water helps drive the winds which in turn drive ocean currents.
