Mathematical Models of the Interaction Between the Geological and Ecological Environment

  • Chapter
Geology and Ecosystems

Abstract

The earth is a huge, varying, and complete dynamic system consisting of the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. The human race is a significant component of the biosphere, which is intermedial to the other three spheres. Human activities extend to the range of the biosphere, from the surface of the crust to the surrounding atmosphere. The natural environment on the earth’s surface is vital to the existence and development of mankind. Primarily, the environment includes climate, geology, water and ecology, which interrelate to, interdepend on, and interact with one another. In other words, the natural environment is a complex system.
