Biosphere Explantion

 Biosphere, Do you know what it is? The earth is made up of 4 main spheres: Biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere and the hydrosphere. Today I will be telling you about the biosphere and how it works.

What is the biosphere? 

The biosphere is all about life. It includes all living things like animals, plants, even us! Geographers use this term biosphere to describe our world. The biosphere goes all the way, Earth up to the upper areas of the atmosphere where birds and insects are found Without the biosphere, Earth will be lifeless.

P2 What are the main components of the biosphere?

There are 4 main components of the biosphere Sunlight, Water, Air and food. Sunlight is a necessity for all living things, as it is the main source of energy. The sun produces heat for animals, plants and us. Secondly, is water, it is an essential part of survival. Water is needed for cells and tissues to work. It is also an environment for animals. Air is next. Air is made up of several gases. Two most important gases of all are oxygen and carbon dioxide. Without oxygen, living things will die and without carbon-dioxide plants won’t survive. Lastly is food. Living things need energy for function. Energy is for growth, reproduction, movement and work.

P3 How does it work?

The biosphere is made of all living things but it includes all four spheres. For example, sea animals live in the ocean and that’s the hydrosphere and birds live in the sky and that’s the atmosphere and insect live underground and that’s the geosphere.

In conclusion, without the biosphere life wouldn’t be possible. The biosphere connects all the spheres together and makes Earth, Earth.

Glossary:

Geographers- A person who studies geography.

Carbon-dioxide- It is a gas at room temperature

Reproduction- A process by which a living organism creates itself

Cells- A cell is the smallest thing in our bodies

The eruption descriptive writing

 

The eruption

Poffitt! The Torrid lava breaks out of its shell. It can’t take it anymore. The lava acts like an exasperated bull. Incandescent lava erupts through the top getting ready to burn anything in its way. Snow blankets the mountain all over. Bushes and trees dance in the light breeze.  Smoke spreads quickly, completely, blackening the lilac sky making it a struggle for people to breathe or see. The odour of the smoke tingles peoples noses when they walk outside. An overwhelming amount of smoke has instantly turned into a dragon ready to attack. Like when a bone in your body cracks lightning appears almost immediately. It looks like the lean veins of a hand.  Faintly pearly white stars twinkle in the background but they are mostly covered up by the lava and smoke. Mountains in the foreground black and bold have no idea what is happening. 

Screams are heard from every direction. Some people say “RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!”

Some people are just analysing the scene and thinking “How did this happen all of a sudden?’’ A few minutes later the whole city is quiet because all the people living inside have locked themselves in their homes. But unfortunately, the lava doesn’t wait for anybody. Seconds turn to minutes, as the selfish lava seeps down the volcano like a liquid avalanche leading the villagers closer to their eternal rest...
