Earth Science (Ecosystems,Geosphere and Hydrosphere)

All things alive exist in a certain place and climate. That is their ecosystem. Think bigger and you have all these things on the planet Earth. GEOsphere. And boy do we all need water. HYDROsphere.

Add all of this together, some minerals, elements, and only 3% of Earth’s water being Fresh (remember fresh is different than clean and 2% of that is frozen) and you’ve got quite a delicate balance that it is incredible and sometimes dangerous
