Earth Science

Second Semester-Quarter 1-Week 1

Module 1: Characteristics of Earth that are necessary to Support Life
What I can do
1. Temperature- it influences how hot or cold the surroundings may be. It provides the ideal
temperature that is suited for a living organism. In earth’s condition, the temperature is just right
to support life.
2. Water- it is needed by living forms on the Earth, specifically humans since our body is made up
of 60% water. Without it, we couldn’t continue with our daily life. other than that, drinking water
provides energy to our body, making it one of the factors that support life.
3. Atmosphere- the atmosphere is an essential protector in all living organisms on earth since it
shields us from the harmful UV radiation that the sun is giving off. It also provides chemicals
needed for life such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
4. Energy- energy is important for the Earth. Earth has available energy that it uses to support life,
like living organisms use light as their energy. The Earth is at the right position from the sun
enabling it to harness enough amount of sunlight.
5. Nutrients- it is an essential factor used to build and maintain organisms’ body structure. On our
planet, there are processes that recycle nutrients. Water, carbon and oxygen, phosphate, and
nitrogen cycles are some of the examples. These nutrients build our bodies and make us healthy.
