    Study Notes

    Biosphere

    • Biosphere encompasses all living organisms and their interactions with the environment
    • Includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
    • Consists of organisms and their interactions
    • Consists of living organisms and their surroundings

    Task 1: Identifying Scientists

    • Photos of scientists are included
    • The task requires identifying the scientists from the images

    Task 2: Biosphere Cycles

    • Biosphere has three main cycles:
      • Atmosphere cycle
      • Hydrosphere cycle
      • Lithosphere cycle

    Task 3: Matching

    • Relates biosphere effects to atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
    • Each effect is meticulously listed under the corresponding sphere

    Task 4: Graphing the Biosphere

    • Task involves diagramming the biosphere's upper and lower boundaries
