Question
which statement best describes the purpose of earths spheres?
they work together as open systems to cycle matter through ecosystems.
they work independently as closed systems to cycle matter through ecosystems.
they work together as open systems to move matter to living and nonliving parts of earth.
they work independently as closed systems to move nutrients to living and nonliving parts of earth.
Los esferas de la Tierra (atmosfera, hidrosfera, litosfera y biósfera) no funcionan de forma independiente. Son sistemas abiertos que intercambian materia y energía. El ciclo de la materia (por ejemplo, el ciclo del carbono, del agua) es fundamental en los ecosistemas y las esferas trabajan juntas en este proceso. Las opciones que dicen que funcionan independientemente o como sistemas cerrados no son correctas. Además, el enfoque en "mover nutrientes" en la última opción no es tan preciso como "ciclar materia" en el primer enunciado correcto.
