The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. The geosphere may be taken as the collective name for the

  • hydrosphere (The hydrosphere is the liquid water component of the Earth. It includes the oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the earth surface)
  • cryosphere (The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system. The Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska. One part of the cryosphere is ice that is found in water),
  • atmosphere( is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body)
  • lithosphere is the substantial, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is further subdivided into tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the most rigid of Earth’s layers.

Describe the ATP molecule and its function within a cell.
geniusboy [140]
ATP stores and transports energy in the cells, usually in the mitochondria. Energy is released by hydrolysis (carbohydrates being broken down into sugar molecules), which eventually results in forming ADP (adenosine diphosphate) that absorbs the energy and recharges the phosphate group and ATP

What do you think can be learned from samples of sediment from the ocean floor?
AlexFokin [52]
Sea floor sediment provide an invaluable key to past climate change. Finely varved sediments from areas of rapid deposition provide a high-resolution record of past climate variation, and volcanic ash layers contribute to the comprehensive study of climate change on relatively short timescales. Oceanographers like to say that we know more about the dark side of the Moon than we do about the oceans. That statement is doubly true of the seafloor. Although modern technology has allowed us to learn more about the seafloor, vast regions remain unexplored. Scuba divers can only dive to about 40 meters and they cannot stay down there for very long. Although this is good for researching the organisms and ecosystems very near a coast, most oceanic research requires accessing greater depths.
