EARTH SURFACE REALMS 2And3 We can look at Earth’s surficial "layers" as being comprised of several major realms or "geospheres": the atmosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ biosphere and pedosphere. The reference to "sphere" applies because Earth is spherical‚ and hence layers around it form somewhat spherical shells at the outermost edges of the solid planet. The atmosphere‚ biosphere and lithosphere more completely encircle Earth‚ while the hydrosphere and pedosphere tend to be more discontinuous

How the physical features of the area affected your decisions Near the hills we placed our schools and apartments‚ giving a physical advantage in which there is less wind for the buildings. Our hydropower plant also is relevant in its features as the placement is nearby the splitting of the river into the two. This maximizes the amount of power we can get from the plant. Our sewage treatment plant is near one of the rivers to maximize it’s efficiency as it can take water from the river and use it

Soil properties: Some physical and chemical properties of the soil were measured‚ which are presented in Table 1. The availability of nutrients and even contaminants depends on the degree of soil acidity. The most suitable pH for soil microorganism’ activity is 7‚ as nutrient solubility depends on soil pH changes (Riser-Roberts‚ 1998). The soil used in the present study has neutral pH and therefore does not limit the activity of microorganisms or the solubility of nutrients except for phosphorus

It has an equatorial diameter of 7‚654

The definition of weathering is to wear away or change in appearance or texture due to long exposure to air. This concept is also applicable to the human body. This is called the weathering hypothesis. The weathering hypothesis was coined by Dr. Geronimus‚ which states that African Americans in the United States experience early health deterioration‚ measured by biological indicators of repeated exposure to and adaptation to stressors (Geronimus‚ Hicken‚ Pearson‚ Seashols‚ Brown‚ & Cruz‚ 2010).

effect resulting especially from pollution. Global warming is melting of ice from poles because of the increase in the extent of carbon dioxide. If due to global warming all the ice from our poles melt into water‚ the water level on earth increases and submerge the land. Another major cause of global warming is deforestation. Less fresh water will be available. Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example‚ plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active
