functioning” An ecosystem is the interaction between biotic and a biotic features. Each element of an ecosystem relies on one another in order to maintain the ecosystem. The interacting biophysical elements include the atmosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere and biosphere. This is shown at the Towra Point Estuarine Wetlands ecosystem‚ located on the southern shores of Botany Bay at Kurnell. Towra point is constructed from sea grass‚ salt marsh vegetation and mangrove. It is a major breeding ground

“Let us give the children a vision of the universe‚” Wrote Maria Montessori in To Educate the Human Potential. “The universe is an imposing reality and the answer to all questions.” Montessori observed firsthand children’s eagerness to understand themselves‚ their world‚ and their place in it. It was her hope that Cosmic Education would allow children to grow into responsible sons and daughters of the great human family with the understanding‚ ethics and self-knowledge needed to transform the

It involves the water cycle‚ distribution of water‚ impact of humans on the hydrosphere and the impact of the hydrosphere on humans. Orographic rainfall is a process that leads to precipitation. Its occurance encompasses the hydrosphere‚ lithosphere and atmosphere. It refers to when mountain ranges or plateaus and interrupts the

and self-regulating system.[1] From the broadest biophysiologicalpoint of view‚ the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships‚ including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved‚ beginning through a process of biogenesis or biopoesis‚ at least some 3.5 billion years ago.[2] In a broader sense; biospheres are any closed‚ self-regulating systems containing ecosystems;
