give two examples of how the earth system's four parts can interact with each other?
Organisms living in a specific environment interact with the environment and also with themselves in very different ways. There are big trees growing along the bank of the stream. Since the trees are very big, they make half of the stream a shady area, and this may make the temperature of the water a bit lower than that in the middle region. It is because the water at the bank side is not directly heated by the sun. Similarly, there are many algae floating in the water freely, and this may reduce the penetration of sunlight. So the light intensity under the water may be decreased. All the organisms living in an environment along with that physical environment form an ecosystem. The organisms living in a fresh water pond, along with the pond, form an aquatic ecosystem. All organisms on land along with their environment form the terrestrial ecosystem.
