Are the characteristics of earth interrelated with one another?
Answer. Answer: The earth is a system of interconnected dependencies. For example, the type of weather that we have is dependent upon the energy output of the sun, the radius of the earth’s orbit about the sun, the rate of spin of the earth, and the tilt of the axis of spin.
What will happen if one of spheres will collapse?
When one of the spheres is affected then at least one or more of the others will be affected as well because they all work together. For example, when ground breakage occurs in the lithosphere it creates new lakes in the hydrosphere. Lithosphere: the solid portion of the earth including the crust and the upper mantle.
What would happen if the geosphere disappeared?
Without oceans and land (hydrosphere and geosphere), there would be no wind (as winds are produced by differences of air temperature between the land and oceans). Last of all, without the geosphere, there would be no world to live on!
What would be the overall effects of having no atmosphere?
Eventually (long after surface life had died), solar radiation would break atmospheric water into oxygen, which would react with carbon on the Earth to form carbon dioxide. The air would still be too thin to breathe. The lack of atmosphere would chill the Earth’s surface. Plants and land animals would die.
What will happen if the percentage of oxygen in atmosphere increases?
With the increased levels of oxygen humans would have an increased chance of oxygen toxicity. This happens when humans are exposed to increased oxygen levels than their bodies are normally used to. Over time, this could lead to lung damage, poor eyesight and cells not being able to reproduce.
What percent of oxygen is dangerous?
An oxygen level below 88% can be dangerous for any period of time. An oxygen level below 85% warrants a trip to the hospital. Keep in mind that an oxygen level 80% and lower puts your vital organs in danger, so it is important to keep a blood oxygen level chart handy so you know what levels require immediate treatment.
