Question

1. How would you describe the biosphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The Biosphere is a life-supporting stratum of Earth's surface, extending from a few Km into the atmosphere all the way to the deep-sea vents of the ocean. The biosphere is a global ecosystem composed of living organisms (biota) and the abiotic (nonliving) factors from which they derive energy and nutrients

2. Humans burning fossil fuels and growing animal agriculture has led to large amounts of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and methane) in the atmosphere. Higher concentrations of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the biosphere and result in global warming. Humans have caused threats to non-renewable resources, CO2 production& global warming, as well as over-competition for food between native and introduced species.
