Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth
The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)
The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)
The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)
The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres
The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)
The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere

A I’m pretty sure because it base doesn’t even relate really, and weak acid doesn’t make sense
The leaves because that's what has most green.So they have more pigments to produce chloroplast.

Abiotic variables found in terrestrial ecosystems can include things like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, soil, pollution, nutrients, pH, types of soil, and sunlight. The boundaries of an individual abiotic factor can be just as unclear as the boundaries of an ecosystem.These are often referred to as abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living elements found within an ecosystem. There are six abiotic factors that affect plant growth: air, water, space, temperature, light and soil (nutrients).The two most important abiotic factors affecting plant primary productivity in an ecosystem are temperature and moisture.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE[ edit ]
Identify the abiotic factors that affect plant growth
KEY POINTS[ edit ]
Primary production, on which almost all of life on earth is dependent, occurs through either photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Annual biomass production, used to estimate net primary productivity by plants in an area, is directly influenced by an environment's abiotic factors, which include temperature and moisture.
Warm and wet climates have the greatest amount of plant biomass because they offer conditions in which photosynthesis, plant growth, and the resulting net primary productivity are highest.
TERMS[ edit ]
biomass
the total mass of all living things within a specific area, habitat, etc.
eco-region
a region, smaller than an ecozone, that contains a distinct biodiversity of flora and fauna
chemosynthesis
the production of carbohydrates and other compounds using the oxidation of chemical nutrients as a source of energy rather than sunlight; it is limited to certain bacteria and fungi
