Global Science Final Exam:
Question 1:
The geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere all make up the earth. In order to understand why all of these things make up the earth, you first have to understand what they all are individually.
The geosphere is the solid Earth, this includes continental and oceanic crust and various layers of the Earth's interior. The hydrosphere is describes the collective mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet. The atmosphere is layer of gases that may surround a material body of sufficient mass. And the biosphere is the part of the Earth including air land and surface rocks and water , within which life occurs, and which biotic processes in turn alter or transform. All of these systems work in unison to help each other out.
The impact on human activities has greatly disturbed the interactions between these major systems that help our earth. The human activities such as deforestation have greatly impacted out earth, for example when there is deforestation out hydrosphere suffers greatly due to not have enough oxygen to produce H2O. Deforestation is also driving thousands of species each year to extinction and reducing biological diversity. Other human activities such as air pollution also effect our planet. This mainly effects our atmosphere by polluting the air with chemical toxins that our bad for our earth and for humans as well. These toxins are even as bad that they could possibly kill someone. Other human activities such as the pollutions of water also destroy our earth and hurt the hydrosphere. Water is essential for humans to live, and if we continue to pollute it there wont be any healthy water left for us to drink. Water is also important for transport the soluble nutrients that are needed for plant growth, and for transporting the waste products of life's chemical reactions.
The biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and geoshpere all work together. The atmosphere must have a healthy and stable biosphere in order to survive; the hydrosphere must have a healthy atmosphere to survive and so on.
I think knowing this information will greatly help scientist in the future. They will be able to inform others about the human impact on our earth, and help the earth in their own way. I also think that if society knew about our ecological footprint and the importance of keeping our biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geospehre healthy, they would be more prone to reduce their ecological footprint. They might also inform others about this problem.
