Document Summary
In this normal world most of the world has a tropical or subtropical environment and forests extended into polar regions: about 700 million years ago there is evidence of an entirely glacial world called. Snowball earth : the earth"s geography has also been in a constant state of evolution; the biomes we are familiar with today (boreal forest, prairie lands, tundra) are a recent phenomena. The environmental change of this record is thin for 85% of the earth"s existence (4. 5 billion years). Most of this record is also from marine sediments. Name the characteristics of the atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and. How does each system interact with one another: hydrosphere: the earth"s hydrosphere is unique to the solar system. Water can exist in liquid, solid and gaseous forms and readily changes between these states depending on energy exchanges: lithosphere: the lithosphere has a hot differentiated interior which drives plate.
