|
|
|
The Earth is composed of subsystems interacting with one another.
|
|
|
These subsystems are close systems that are interwoven and interdependent.
|
|
|
The subsystems are the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere.
|
|
|
The principal subsystems allow entrance and exit of both matter and energy.

Detailed explanation-1: -Everything in Earth’s system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called “spheres.” Specifically, they are the “lithosphere” (land), “hydrosphere” (water), “biosphere” (living things), and “atmosphere” (air).
Detailed explanation-2: -These subsystems are interconnected by processes and cycles, which, over time, intermittently store, transform and/or transfer matter and energy throughout the whole Earth system in ways that are governed by the laws of conservation of matter and energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -The geosphere has four subsystems called the lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere. Because these subsystems interact with each other and the biosphere, they work together to influence the climate, trigger geological processes, and affect life all over the Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asthenosphere. The correct answer is option (d). Explanation: The biosphere is the zone where the lithosphere, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere interact with each other.
