Earth Systems Interactions Simulator

Investigate how human activities modify the relationships between Earth's Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere over time. (NGSS HS-ESS3-6)

Human Activities (Inputs)

Gigatonnes of Carbon per year added to the atmosphere.

Carbon released via land-use change & reduced biomass sink.

Simulation Controls

Investigative Task:
  • Observe the baseline relationships (Year 0) between the systems.
  • Adjust human inputs and run the simulation.
  • How does increasing atmospheric CO₂ affect Ocean pH (Hydrosphere) and Land Biomass (Biosphere)?

Current Concentration

Hydrosphere (Ocean pH)
