The Hydrosphere Is A Valuable Natural Resource

by TheChessGym | August 22, 2022 13:46 22 Aug 13:46 | #34894 | #34894

Today we learned that our Hydrosphere is one of our most valuable natural resources. Statistics show that approximately 71% of the earth's surface is comprised of water. The earth's waters is composed of 97% saltwater and only 3% freshwater. This emphasizes the importance of preserving this usable natural resource. The worldometer estimates that at the time of this post 779,000 people have no access o a drinkable water resource in conjunction with over 550,000 people who have died from water related diseases. This is one of the mediums that an organization like Public Lab addresses.

Biomes_General_600.jpg

Biology is the study of life.

Biotic is relating or resulting from living things.

Abiotic is derived from non-living things.

Interdependent is the thing everything that depends or relies on some other living thing for life. For example, the food chain.

Biomes is a large natural community occupying a major habitat.

There are five major types of biomes: aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra.

Tundra is very cold which has an average of -7 Celsius. There are only two seasons which are long dark winters, and short summers.

Another type of biome is hydrosphere, that's part of freshwater. The Hydrosphere consists of 2 different biomes, the Saltwater Biome, and the Freshwater Biome.

Marine biomes cover up about 71% of Earths water. Out of all the water on earth only 3% is drinkable and 97% is undrinkable.

21% of Earth’s atmosphere consist of water.

The current world population is 7969,216,514.

779,744,075 are without safe water.

Sources of water that does not contain unhealthy saltwater is ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands.

Biology is the study of life and the ecosystems that it lives in.

Biotic is all the living factors in an ecosystem.

Abiotic is all the nonliving factors in an ecosystem.

Interdependent: every living organism depends on other living organisms to live. That is called interdependency.

Biomes are large groups of similar ecosystems. All the organisms in a biome live and thrive in a specially balanced environment.

A hydrosphere is the marine ecosystems on earth.

Animals that can survive in salt water cannot survive in fresh water and the same for freshwater animals

There are 7,969,216,506 people on planet earth.

779,744,072 people are without access to a clean drinking water source.

71% of the earth’s surface is water. Only 3% of that water is drinkable.

Biology- the study of living things.

Biotic- living.

Abiotic- nonliving.

Interdependent- every living organism depends on every other living organism.

All living organisms that that are interdependent creates a balance.

Biome is a system of environmental factors.

Hydrosphere- this is what the marine body is mostly made of. The marine biome is mostly made of saltwater, and oceans is the largest biome on earth.

Marine plants provide more than half of the oxygen on earth. (That is more than every forest)

Animals that can survive in fresh water cannot survive in saltwater. Animals that can survive in saltwater cannot survive in fresh water.

The tundra is cold, an average of only 18 degrees F of negative 7 degrees C.

The current world population is 7,969,216,885

There are 779,743,999 people with the access to no drinking water.

Hydro is derived from the Greek word for water

Interdependency is other living organisms that depend on some other organism for life.

Biome: specific ecosystems whereby all the organisms' function, live, and thrive in a special set environment. The environment in a biome is conducive to a life and function of organisms that inhabit it.

Hydrosphere deals with marine biome.

The marine biome, which consists of salt water is the largest biome on Earth? How much drinkable water do have left? Marine plants provide more than half of the oxygen on earth. The freshwater biome is filled with low level of salt. (Three main types of freshwaters: ponds and lake, streams and rivers, and wetlands).

The current world population is 7,969,216,500.

The amount of people with no safe drinking water is 779,744,071.

Only three percent of the earths water is drinkable. There is about 71 percent with water in the hydrosphere. The atmosphere includes 78 percent nitrogon and 21 percent oxygen.

Bio means life and logy means study and biology means the study of life.

Abiotic means non-living things. Biotic means living things. Every plant and animal on earth depends on other living organisms to survive. Interdependent means depending on one another. Living things interact with the sun, air, water, and each other is called an ecosystem.
The organisms work together to establish a balance that allows of all its members to thrive in an ecosystem. Biomes means a large group of similar ecosystems. There are many different biomes on water and in land. The marine biome is made mostly of saltwater oceans and is the largest biome on Earth. It covers about 70 percent of the Earth's surface and is home to more than 230,000 known species.

The current world population is 7,969,216,690.

The current population with people who does not have access to a safe drinking water source is 779,743,996. The Tundra is part of the geosphere and has a temperature of 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The earth is made up of the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. 21 percent of the earth atmosphere is oxygen. 78 percent of the earth atmosphere is nitrogen.

It includes all the water on or below Earth’s surface, frozen water in the ice caps and glaciers, and water vapor. 71% of Earth’s surface is covered with water, 97% being saltwater.

A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. The hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air. The hydrosphere is made mostly of saltwater oceans and seas and is the largest biome on Earth. Its environment consist of biotic organisms such as whales, manatees, and seahorses, and aquatic plants. Marine plants provide more than half the oxygen on earth. Freshwater biomes are filled with water that has extremely low levels of salt. Fish, frogs, otters, turtles, beavers, etc. live in freshwater biomes. About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. However, 97 percent is salt water. This year 538,250 deaths were caused by water related diseases. This is an concern that Public Lab is greatly invested in. -Gianna Williams

Biology is the study of life.

Abiotic: Non-living things

Biotic: living things

Interdependent: every living organism depends on other living organisms to exist. They work together to establish a balance.

A biome is a specific ecosystem where a biotic community thrives and relies on each other. Marine biome is the largest biome on earth, the majority is salt water. Home to 230,00 species. Marine plants are important because they provide more than half of the oxygen on earth. Freshwater has low levels of salt. Saltwater fish cannot live in freshwaters and freshwater fish cannot live in saltwater. Both freshwater and saltwater biomes make the Hydrosphere. Ponds/lakes, streams/rivers, and wetlands make up freshwater biomes.

South of the arctic lies the tundra. It is part of the geosphere.

The current world population is 7,969,216,492.

There are currently 779,744,067 people without safe drinking water. About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. However, 97 percent is salt water. Atmosphere: The word atmosphere is derived from the Greek word for vapor. 21% of the earth's atmosphere is oxygen. Human activity is the reason why all spheres have changed.
