3. Biosphere
Living and non-living organic matter

4. Hydrosphere
Water components

5. Lithosphere
Rocks, minerals and soil

6. Non-living components
Anything that is not alive or have ever been alive.

7. Living components
Anything (a person, animal or plant) that has ever been alive

8. Living things
Anything that is alive

9. Climate
The weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

10. Topography
the arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area

11. Natural vegetation
Plants that have not been grown by humans

12. Soils
The upper layer of earth in which plants grow, consisting of a mixture of organic remains, clay, and rock particles.

13. Natural system
Something that exists in nature, independent of human involvement

14. Inputs
Items or forces that enter the system, such as wind or precipitation

15. Components
The material things that make up a natural system, for example vegetation, rocks, water, air.

16. Processes
The methods of operation or types of actions within the system by which energy or matter are moved into, around or out of the system for example, weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, evaporation, photosynthesis.

17. Outputs
Matter or energy leaving the natural system, such as sediments carried by a river, or water vapour ascending into the atmosphere above the ocean.

18. Geography
Focuses on the distribution of natural phenomena and the interaction of humans with the natural world.

19. The four spheres
Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere

20. Weathering
Physical, chemical or biological breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller sized particles.

21. Erosion
The removal of weathered sediment or rocks by the forces of wind, water, and ice.

22. Transportation
The movement of eroded material in the medium of air, water or ice.

23. Deposition
Laying down of sediment transported by wind, water, or ice.

24. Evaporation
The process by which liquid water is converted into a gaseous state

25. photosynthesis
Is the chemical process where plants and some bacteria can capture and organically fix the energy of the Sun.

26. Ecosystem
A system formed by the interaction of a community or organisms with their physical environment

27. Biome
Largest recognizable assemblage of animals and plants on the Earth. The distribution is controlled mainly by climate.

28. symbiosis
Mutual relationship between two organisms which is necessary for either to survive.
