The Biosphere
Def: Layer around the Earth containing all living organisms
made up of 3 parts:
1- Lithosphere (solid layer): Rigid part of the earth.
2- Hydrosphere (water layer): all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.
3- Atmosphere (layer of air): the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.

The Carbon Cycle
def: Recycling of carbon through the environment in an infinite loop allows it to return to its original form.
3 forms of Carbon
CO2 CH4 CaCO3

Carbon Cycle and Global Warming
CO2: Too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the planet.
CH4: Through the process of digestion, when cows burp and fart, methane is produced. Also decomposition from landfills and using manure.
Why CO2 then creating more global warming that CH4?

N2O: Used in fertilizer and created from the use of cars.
