    Earth's Subsystem

    Uploaded by

    Jimwel Diloy
    This document summarizes the structure and layers of Earth, including its four main subsystems - geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. It describes the inner core, outer core, mantle (lower and upper), crust (oceanic and continental), and asthenosphere. It also mentions key scientists and their contributions to understanding continental drift and Earth's layers, such as Lehmann, Barell, Gutenberg, and Mohorovicic. The four subsystems - geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere - interact dynamically.
