Climate Systems

Climate System refers to Earth’s interconnected components: the atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), cryosphere (ice and permafrost), lithosphere (Earth’s rocky layer), and biosphere (living organisms). These components interact to determine average weather over decades, transport energy, and cycle elements such as carbon and nitrogen. Natural and human-driven changes can alter the balance of the system.
