The Biosphere is made up of the parts of the Earth where life exists. It includes the land, ocean, and atmosphere. Life exists from9.5 km deepin the oceans up to50 km highin the atmosphere. Within the biosphere living things span a range of sizes, from the microscopic (like phytoplankton...
The biosphere is all living components of the earth (humans, plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, protists, and all microscopic organisms on land, in the air, and in the oceans). It also includes all organic matter that has not yet decomposed. This living part is hugely dependent on the oth...
