Did you know that the biosphere II is a 7.2 million cubic foot greenhouse? The Biosphere II was made to be a mini- world‚ which was meant to mimic Biosphere I‚ The Earth. The Biosphere II has 7 different biomes including‚ and ocean‚ a desert‚ a savannah‚ a marsh‚ and a tropical rainforest. The biosphere II was originally made for 8 scientists to endure locked inside the Biosphere for two years‚ without any supplies! The plan looked perfect‚ but like everything in life problems quickly appeared

Biosphere MODULE - 5 The domain of Life on the Earth 14 Notes BIOSPHERE We know that our earth is the only planet where life is found. That is why this planet is also known as living planet or ‘sphare’ of ‘life’. This sphere contains those qualities atmosphere‚ lithosphere and hydrosphere. They all enable the life to exist on this planet. But do you know this is a very small portion of the earth where life exists. Beyond this narrow space of the earth‚ there is no life forms found.

Biosphere Lab Report A biosphere can be defined a lot of different ways. Our interpretation of a biosphere is the area in which life can be contained within. In the case of the earth‚ it means as high as a bird can fly and as deep as fish can swim in the ocean. A biosphere is a closed system that has a constant flow of energy between the organisms living within it and it needs nothing outside of itself but sunlight to continue to be sustained. At the University of Arizona‚ they attempted to build

Threats to global food supplies In the twenty-first century‚ with the rapid development of technology‚ living conditions have improved increasingly. However‚ the problem of food security has not yet been addressed‚ especially in some poorer countries. This essay will analyze the reasons‚ provide the solution‚ and evaluate the results to the global food supply problem. There could be two main reasons. The first one is the gap between the food supply and the food to feed the growth of population

There are many threats to global food supplies. Explain the problem‚ identity possible solutions‚ and assess the implications of implementing these solutions. Because of the increasing world population and the growth of the environmental problems such as global warming and acid rain‚ global food supplies meet great challenges to feed so many people especially those in economically richer areas wasting foods. A series of problems following food supply shortage like the competition

There are many threats to global food supplies. Explain the problem‚ identify possible solutions and assess the effectiveness of these solutions. In recent years‚ food security has become one of the most thorniest problems that the world faces.The population explosion and climate change had caused by food security. The essay will show that threats to global food supplies are on people’s health and ecosystems. It is also argued that managing crop productions and matching demand for food may have a
