Study Notes
Biosphere
- Biosphere: The zone of life on Earth, encompassing all organisms and their interaction with the environment. It includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere.
- Components of the biosphere: Includes all living things and their interactions. Boundaries and characteristics are defined by the distribution of organisms.
- Photosynthesis: A process that converts light energy into chemical energy, important for the food chain.
- Biosphere cycle: The movement of materials through the biosphere, involving living organisms and non-living components.
- Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere interaction: The biosphere interacts with each of these spheres.
Task 1: Identifying Scientists
- Task 1: Identify scientists from images provided.
Task 2: Biosphere Cycles
- Three sections of the biosphere cycle: Describes the three main parts of the biological cycle in the biosphere.
Task 3: Matching
- Task 3: Matching effects of the biosphere on different spheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere)
Task 4: Graphical Representation
