Earth as a system — overall type?
A closed system (energy exchange only).
Open systems — exchange?
Exchange both energy and matter.
Closed systems — exchange?
Exchange only energy, not matter.
Isolated systems — exchange?
No exchange of energy or matter.
Earth system subsystems — main?

Geosphere — includes?
Solid surface and interior materials.
Hydrosphere components?
Oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, groundwater, glaciers.
Atmosphere layers — first?
Troposphere.

Sedimentary structures — formed during?
Sedimentation processes.
Parallel stratification — features?
Horizontal layers, formed by sediment changes.
Cross stratification — caused by?
Inclined layers from water or wind currents.
