identify one type of resource from each subsystem on which people depend?
is that...
lithospehere- land
hydrosphere- water
biosphere- living things
atmosphere- water
The first three are correct. Please check a dictionary or your text to find what atmosphere is and what it provides us.
Close, but not quite! Here's the correct identification of one type of resource from each subsystem:
Lithosphere (Land): Minerals or natural resources such as coal, oil, and metals that are extracted from the Earth's crust.
Hydrosphere (Water): Freshwater, including rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers, which are essential for drinking, agriculture, and many other human activities.
Biosphere (Living Things): Renewable resources like plants for food, timber, and fibers, as well as animals for food and other materials.
Atmosphere (Air): Oxygen, a vital resource for human breathing, and other gases that play a crucial role in climate regulation and weather patterns.
By understanding these four subsystems and their associated resources, we can better comprehend the complex interactions that sustain life on Earth and the dependency people have on them.
