Closed Systems: Some systems are effectively selfcontained and therefore isolated from influences outside that system—and so are called closed systems. It is rare to find closed systems in nature. Earth as a whole is essentially a closed system with regard to matter—currently there is no significant increase or decrease in the amount of matter (the “stuff”) of Earth, although relatively small but measurable amounts of meteoric debris arrives from space, and tiny amounts of gas are lost to space from the atmosphere.
Science is often described—although somewhat simplistically—as a process that follows the scientific method: 1. Observe phenomena that stimulate a question or problem. 2. Offer an educated guess—a hypothesis—about the answer. 3. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. 4. Predict the outcome of the experiment if the hypothesis is supported, and if the hypothesis is not supported. 5. Conduct the experiment and observe what actually happens. 6. Draw a conclusion or formulate a simple generalized “rule” based on the results of the experiment.

Any position north of the equator is north latitude, and any position south of the equator is south latitude (the equator itself is simply referred to as having a latitude of 0°). A line connecting all points of the same latitude is called a parallel—because it is parallel to all other lines of latitude (Figure 1-16).
