Answer:

Biological diversity - or biodiversity - is the term given to the variety of life on Earth and the natural patterns it forms. The biodiversity is the fruit of billions of years of evolution, shaped by natural processes and, increasingly, by the influence of humans.

Explanation:

Biodiversity is important to humans for many reasons. ... Ecological life support— biodiversity provides functioning ecosystems that supply oxygen, clean air and water, pollination of plants, pest control, wastewater treatment and many ecosystem services. If no changes are made in the ways humans use resources on earth, there will continue to be a degradation of biodiversity until human lives can no longer be sustained. Humans affect biodiversity by their population numbers, use of land, and their lifestyles, causing damage to habitats for species.

List the atmospheric layers, temperature, altitude and density of those layers, and a unique object found in those layers.
Fiesta28 [93]

Five layers of the atmosphere are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Troposphere is the lowermost layer of the atmosphere which is found in the 0-12 km range. The temperature of the troposphere ranges from 15°C to 51°C.  Aircrafts driven by propellers can access the troposphere only.

Stratosphere is the layer of atmosphere that is second from earth. It is found in the 12-50 km range. Its temperature ranges from -51°C to-15°C. Jet-powered aircraft can access the stratosphere.

Mesosphere is the third atmospheric layer. It is found in the 50-85 km range. Its temperature ranges from -15°C to-120°C. rockets and rocket-powered spacecraft can access the mesosphere.

Thermosphere is the fourth atmospheric layer. It is found in the 500-100 km range. Its temperature ranges to about 2000°C. the International Space Station orbits in the thermosphere.

Exosphere is the topmost atmospheric layer. It extends to 10000 km above earth. Its  temperature is greater than 2000°C. most of the satellites that orbit the earth are found in the exosphere.

The density of atmospheric layers decreases while moving up along the layers. Thus troposphere has the maximum density.
