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

Seas and oceans provide various types of resources to human beings and habitats to numerous species of plants and animals. They play very important roles in the economy of a nation and its people. Still‚ the marine and coastal ecosystems are under severe stress due to human activities. Ocean Resources The ocean is one of Earth ’s most valuable natural resources. It provides food in the form of fish and shellfish—about 200 billion pounds are caught each year. It ’s used for transportation—both travel

no seasonality migration and aggregation of the poles would be mythical; also would be too cold for reproduction hence no “annual flush of productivity.” In the desert there would be now wet season which is an absolute requirement for terrestrial life in this biome. The earth’s sustainability would be minimal if the axial tilt were nil. Ratification of all earth’s species (besides extremists) would be embedded between approximately 20°N-60°N latitude; temperatures in these areas as follows 20°N
