The BIOSPHERE is the set of ALL LIFE FORMS on
earth.
It covers ALL ECOSYSTEMS—from the soil to the
rainforest, from mangroves to coral reefs, and
from the plankton-rich ocean surface to the deep
sea.

For the majority of life on Earth, the base of the

food chain comprises photosynthetic organisms.
During photosynthesis, CO2 is sequestered from
the atmosphere, while oxygen is released as a
byproduct.

The biosphere is a CO2 SINK, and therefore, an

important part of the carbon cycle.

 CAN WE LIVE
WITHOUT WATER?
AT 1 DRIP PER SECOND, A FAUCET CAN LEAK 3000 GALLONS PER YEAR.

THAT IS NEEDED TO PRODUCE 3 GALLONS OF MILK. ONLY 3% OF EARTH'S WATER IS DRINKABLE.

 !
60% of the human body is
water and 75% of a living
tree is water.
 Water is a critical
component of most
organisms that
drying up would
mean dying.

 The HYDROSPHERE is the total
amount of water found on Earth.

Earth Science GRADE 11

 Water covers 70% of the entire
surface of Earth, and most of it
is ocean water.

97.5% 2.5% .4% lakes, 68.7%

saltwater freshwater rivers, etc. glaciers and
30.9% ice caps
groundwater

Earth Science GRADE 11

 Hydrological Water moves through the hydrosphere in a
cycle.
Cycle It describes the continuous movement of
water as it makes a circuit from the oceans to
the atmosphere to the Earth and on again.

The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats

water in the oceans.

Light and heat causes water to evaporate

from oceans, lakes, rivers, and other sources
of surface water.

Hydrological Cycle
 Water is part of a deeply
interconnected system.
What we pour on the
ground ends up in our
water, and what we spew
into the sky ends up in our
water.
