2 Semester – Reviewer
A. ORIGIN AND STRUCTURE OF THE
EARTH
1. TEMPERATURE
- Most livings are limited to a temperature
range of minus 15’C to 115’C.
- Most areas of the planet is above 0’C
> Allows liquid water crucial to life.
- Among the other planets, only Earth’s
surface has this temperature
2. WATER
- Only Earth has the right chemical materials
like liquid water that could support life.
- Water is essential for all life:
> Physiological Solvent
> Transport (Nutrients and waste)
> Coolant
B. RIGHT ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION
- The Earth atmosphere is capable of
trapping heat and houses the important
atmosphere gases such a carbon dioxide
and oxygen which cause the earth to
warm.
- It shield the surface from harmful radiation
through the ozone layer and earth has the
right size to hold a sufficient sized
atmosphere.
- Earth’s atmosphere is about 100 miles
thick.
1. ENERGY
- Living things use light or chemical energy
to run essential life processes.
2. NUTRIENT
- These are materials that build and
maintain an organism’s body.
- It shields us from the electromagnetic
radiation coming from the sun.
- The magnetic field deflects the radiation
that may destroy the ozone layer.

-The branch of science that deals with
celestial object, space, and the physical
universe as a whole.
3. EARTH SCIENCE
- The branch of science dealing with the
physical constitution or the Earth and it’s

4. ATMOSPHERE
- The envelop of gases surrounding the
Earth or another planet.
5. BIOSPHERE
- The regions of the surface, atmosphere,
and hydrosphere of the Earth.
6. SCIENCE
- The branch of science concerned with
the processes and phenomena.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
- Is defined as a branch of biology
focused on the study of the relationships
of natural world.
8. GEOSPHERE
- Any of the almost spherical concentric
regions of matter that makes up the
Earth and its atmosphere, as the
lithosphere and hydrosphere
9. OCEANOGRAPHY
 - The branch of science that deals with
the physical and biological properties
and phenomena of the sea.
10. GEOLOGY
- The science that deals with the Earth’s D. ROCKS

history, and the process that act on it. - Naturally occurring
- Solid
C. SUBSYSTEM - Inorganic
1. BIOSPHERE - Chemical Composition
- This is the living sphere of the Earth. - Orderly crystalline structure
- It is the totality of all the ecosystems in the
whole planet. MINERALS
- It compels us to interact with other living > Diamond

2. ATMOSPHERE
- A set of layers of gases that blankets the NON-MINERALS
planet held by the planet’s gravity > Sugar – Organic
- It is consisted of 78% nitrogen, 20.95% > Fiber glass – Artificially prepared
oxygen, 0.93% argon and 0.04% water > Charcoal – Organic
vapor including all other gases. > Liquid Mercury – Not a solid

STRESS IN ROCKS:

E. TYPES OF ROCKS
1. IGNEOUS
- (from the Latin word for fire) form when

hot, molten rock crystallizes and

solidifies.
- The melt originates deep within the
Earth near active plate boundaries or
hot spots, then rises toward the
surface

2. SEDIMENTARY
- rock formed at or near Earth's
surface by the accumulation and
lithification
of sediment (detrital rock)
or by the precipitation from solution at

normal surface temperatures

(chemical rock)

3. METAMORPHIC
- Any of a class of rocks that result
from the alteration of
preexisting rocks in response to
