The Earth is NOT an inert lump of rock flying round in space, but a very DYNAMIC system.
The core of the Earth is hot liquid metal ( iron/nickel) mwhich rotates counter-clockwise to Earth's rotation. It also gives the Earth its magnetism *compass points).
Outside the core the mantle, which convects, like water in a kettle, but much more slowly. This convection is driven by the heat of the core.
The convecting mantle in turn moves the tectonic plates, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean currents etc.,
The ocean currents form part of the hydro-sphere, which overlaps with the bio sphere ( all living matter). , which in turn is overlapped by the atmosphere.
Then the stratosphere , and the ionosphere.
From the hydro sphere outwards the Sun through gravity and radiation drives the whole system.
The Sun through radiation gives us light and heat.
The light radiation drives photosynthesis for plants to absorb CO2, and release oxygen. The are similar cycles for carbon and nitrogen.
The Sun's gravitational attraction keeps Earth on its orbital track, otherwise we would 'fly-off' into outer space, and Earth would die, no sunlight.
Also we rotate once a day to give us night and day . Our angle of rotation is angled at about 23 degrees and decreasing, this gives us our seasons.
This axial angle of 23 degrees is currently decreasing to about 21 degrees and will then increas to about 28 degrees; it is called precession. It will affect climate change, and the polar ice caps , currently receding.
Also our orbital track about the Sun is an ellipse which widens to nearly circular and then slims to a very narrow ellipse. This ellipse does not close up every year , but slightly overlaps.
The Moon coupled with the Sun gives us our ocean tides. The mechanics of which are quite complicated, but understood.
There is a lot more going on in/on Earth, that I have not mentioned. I leave you to try and find out for yourself.
I hope from this, you understand that natural events, climate change included, on Earth are driven by many different forces, of which mankind has no control , but is only just beginning to understand.
A lot of these events have been observed on other Solar System planets, the Martian ice caps changing size. The orbit of Mercury overlapping etc., The Earth is no different.
If we lived on an inert lump of rock , no seasons, , no night and day, NOTHING!!!!!
The Earth's crust has layers, the atmosphere has layers, and certain types of cake have layers.
The Earth is typically divided into four layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. These layers have different compositions and physical properties, and they play important roles in shaping the planet's structure and behavior.
The Earth has layers because it is made up of materials of varying density.
The two layers of Earth that are made of rock are the crust and the mantle. The crust is the outermost layer, consisting of solid rock that forms the continents and ocean floors. Beneath the crust, the mantle is composed of semi-solid rock that flows slowly over geological time. Together, these layers play a crucial role in tectonic activity and the Earth's geology.
The Earth is composed of three primary layers: the crust, mantle, and core. If something is not one of these layers, it could be referring to phenomena such as the atmosphere or hydrosphere, which are not considered compositional layers of the Earth. Instead, they represent different components of the Earth's environment.
The layers of the Earth are held together by gravity and the intense pressure from the weight of the overlying layers. This pressure causes the layers to be compacted and stick together, forming a solid structure.
The Earth's atmosphere is divided into five layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has its own unique characteristics based on temperature, composition, and physical properties. These layers work together to protect life on Earth by regulating temperature and filtering harmful radiation.
No, Earth has four main layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. These layers differ in composition, density, and physical properties, and together they make up the structure of the Earth.
Because the earth is held together by gravity and also because if they were not new plates would not form.
The various layers of atmosphere protect us. They protect us from the UV rays, Control the temperature etc.
