EARTH: LIVING PLANET

the Earth
has characteristics that are necessary to
support life.

EARTH

It is a unique planet in
the solar system where
life is possible. The Earth
is also called as
Goldilocks planet. A "Goldilocks Planet" is the right
distance from its Sun to allow
temperatures for liquid water. Not too
hot, not too cold.
Each layer is responsible
for the formation of our
continents. The system
of plate tectonics can
modulate our
atmosphere at the
longest timescales.
 Scientists believe that water on
Earth came from two possible
sources:
PHOTOSYNTHETIC ORGANISMS
• Water released through volcanism
• Water from the icy meteors of the
outer regions of the Solar System
which bombarded Earth.
 EARTH’S
ATMOSPHERE.
We can survive on Earth because of the following:
• We eat nutritious food to maintain a healthy, strong body that
can help to strengthen our immune system and to fight Corona
Virus.
• We have water for drinking, cooking, bathing and for washing
our clothes
• We have energy coming from the Sun, the heat and light and
this energy is important to life.
• We have air that supplies energy and maintains life on Earth.
• We have Earth's atmosphere that regulates temperature.
• We have a balanced temperature-not so cold or not so hot.
• We have gravity that keeps us on the ground and causes
objects to fall
