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

Bio Diversity and it’s loss in growth Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given species‚ ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. Biodiversity is a measure of thehealth of ecosystems. Biodiversity is in part a function of climate. In terrestrial habitats‚ tropical regions are typically rich whereas polar regionssupport fewer species. Rapid environmental changes typically cause mass extinctions. One estimate is that less than 1% of the species that have existed on Earth areextant
