Final Exam question 1

Geosphere is often used to refer to the densest parts of Earth, which consist mostly of rock and regolith. The dense geosphere is also subdivided into the crust, mantle, and core. The Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earth's gravity. The Earth's hydrosphere consists of water in all forms: the ocean (which is the bulk of the hydrosphere), other surface waters including inland seas, lakes, and rivers; rain; underground water; ice and atmospheric water vapor. The biosphere is the part of the Earth, including air, land, surface rocks, and water, within which life occurs, and which biotic processes alter or transform. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere AND http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrosphere....
When humans do certain things like cause air pollution it affects many things. For one air pollution would affect the geoosphere because all the gases will go into the air and pollute. Then this affects the hydrosphere because the air pollution mixes with the evaporated water and can cause acid rain. The biosphere is then affected because the acid rain and air pollution is absorbed by plants and therefore animals and plants die because of all of the pollution. Again the atmosphere is polluted from all of the gas we burn, the pollution set off from buildings, and certain industries we have.
As you can see everything we do affects the Earth in one way or another. When you do something to hurt one system, all systems are affected. In the future i will remember that everything i do affects everything in tis world. What you do affects the LIFE of the people. Some things cause cancer to others, some things you do affects the Earth so much that people are affected because things die out.
