The document discusses the biosphere and biomes. The biosphere consists of three components: the atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. The atmosphere contains gases like nitrogen and oxygen. The lithosphere is made up of rocks and soil. The hydrosphere includes water bodies. Together these components support life. Biomes are large areas with specific climates and contain plant and animal life adapted to those climates. Terrestrial biomes include forests, grasslands, and deserts. Aquatic biomes are freshwater and marine. Biomes are located in different parts of the world based on climate conditions.

Biosphere and biomes Matlolokwe MT
Lesson objectives • The concept of biosphere • Three components of the biosphere • Interconnection between the biosphere • Different types of Biomes
Concept of biosphere Biosphere is part of the earth’s surface where humans and other living organisms are able to live Biosphere extentds about 7-8000 meters above sea and 6-8000 m below sea level. It is made up of three components
The three components of the biosphere Atmosphere Lithosphere hydrosphere
3 Components of the biosphere
Atmosphere • Is the envelope of gasses surrounding the earth. • Mainy made up of 71% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.03 Carbon dioxide, the rest is water vapour and other gases.((joshiaadi, 2014) • It filters the sunlight to protect the living things from the harmful solar radiation
(joshiaadi, 2014)
Hydrosphere Part of earth that consists of water, e.g rivers and oceans. Hydrosphere is made up of 3% fresh water and the remaining 97% is salt water. (Laura Salvador, 2012) Water is needed for survival of living organisms It’s a habitat for many aquatic plants( microscopic Plankton) and animals such as fish and sharks
Lithosphere • It’s the outside crust of the earth • Made up of rocks and soil • It is the source of minerals for living organisms • It is a habitat for many living organisms(Laura Salvador, 2012)
Interconnection of the spheres • All can support life individually. • Use respiration and photosynthesis.
Biomes • Biome is a large area with specific climate(abiotic), it contains specific kinds of plants and animals(biotic component). • It is made up of several ecosystems(Donald Johnson, 2008)
Types of biomes • Terrestrial • Aquatic
Terestrial biomes(Silvia Huber, 2017) Forest Fynbos Grassland Nama Karoo Savannah Succulent karoo Thicket
Aquatic Biomes It divided into two biomes : • Fresh water biome- dams, lakes, lakes and wetland • Marine biome-Sandy shores, Rocky shores, Coral reefs, Mangrove swamps, eustaries, ocean and open seas
Location for different biomes (Donald Johnson, 2008)
