earth's hydrosphere





"the Hydrosphere"
         The largest part of our Earth's surface is the Body of water.Approximately 75% of the surface of the Earth is composed or covered by an area of some 361 million square kilometers (139.5 million square miles) of Ocean. The average salinity or the saltiness of the Earth's oceans is about 35 grams of salt per kg. of sea water (3.5%). We think that it's so easy to take it for granted.
The largest and deepest ocean in the world is the Pacific Ocean. Its deepest point is the Mariana Trench about 11,022 meters in depth. This ocean fills the gap between Asia and Australia on the west and America on the east.


        The importance of the Hydrosphere are it is  the importance source for our food,all the things that come out from the water can be really useful to us. We can get fish, seaweed and such, can be used for food and other sea creatures, it provides habitat for the sea creatures aside from that we can used oceans or seas as our tourist spots destinations, by the use of this our country will be known in terms of Marine Life like the coral reefs, tourist were attracted to them, as well as, we used bodies of water as our to travel from one place to another by using ships.

         Recent studies states that, in every cell in a living organisms is made up of almost 75% of water, and this is why it allows the cell to function normally. In fact, without water, cells would not be able to carry out their normal functions, and life could not exist.

      At the same time, hydrosphere provides an important place for many animals and plants to live.Water takes a long time to heat up, and also a long time to cool down. This is important in helping to regulate temperatures on earth so that they stay within a range that is acceptable for life to exist. 

We used water in a number of ways. Drinking water ,we used it domestically (e.g. for Washing and cleaning the dishes and clothes) and in industry. A while ago, Water can also be used to generate electricity through hydropower. And imagine, How would farmers be able to support the lives of crops?

In addition to, hydrosphere, like the atmosphere, they are always in motion.

Therefore, hydrosphere is composed of all of the water on or near the earth. Including the oceans, rivers, lakes, and even the moisture in the air. Ninety-seven percent of the earth's water is in the oceans.It covers the majority of the earth and also has life in it too.
