Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Earth is largely considered a closed system in terms of matter, meaning that no significant amount of matter is added to or lost from the planet. The statement that new resources and matter are being added all the time is incorrect. While Earth is an open system in terms of energy (receiving energy from the sun and radiating energy into space), it does not continuously gain or lose matter in significant amounts under natural circumstances.
