Atmospheric and plate activity have affected the distribution and diversity of systems within the biosphere.

Explain the role that the atmosphere has in the distribution of biomes.

Explain how the global climate functions as a system.

Climate can both influence, and be influenced by, terrestrial food production systems.

To what extent can terrestrial food production strategies contribute to a sustainable equilibrium in this relationship?

With reference to processes occurring within the atmospheric system identify two transfers of energy.

With reference to processes occurring within the atmospheric system identify two transformations of matter.

Disturbance of the composition and processes of the atmospheric system through human activity always disturbs the equilibria of marine systems.

Discuss the validity of this statement with reference to named examples.

Outline the evidence that CO₂ acts as a greenhouse gas.
