WES activity A helped me learn about the different flows of water in our biosphere in differnt climates. Water is a very important aspect in our ecosystem, without it, humans, animals, and plants couldn't and wouldn't survive. Water flow in the Earth occurs due to the distribution of energy in on our Earth. In differnet hemispheres and in different climates, water is harvested, used and produced in many different ways.
Places that tend to be more dry have to grow their agriculture in the places that have the most water. Human civilization is dependent on agriculture for food, maintaining livestock and trade. Without water or strategic places for cultivating crop, humans would not and couldn not survive.
Things such as gravity, elevation, and geography affects the natural distrubiton of water in our biosphere. Without the force of gravity, or without elevated areas to accumulate condensing water, precipitation and water flow into lower regions in the world would not be possible.
It is truly amazing to study the symbiotic relationships that exist in our biosphere. If even the slightest climate change or greographical change occured, our entire water system and flow of nutrients could change. If a change was to occur in these important chemical cylces, many things would cohesively change, and cause detrimental changes in our significant biosphere.
