The Biosphere Environments Where Life Exists

The Biosphere Environments Where Life Exists

The biosphere is the part of Earth where life exists. It includes all living organisms (plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms) and the environments they live in—land, water, and air.

The biosphere:

Extends from the deepest parts of the ocean to the highest points where life can survive in the atmosphere

Includes ecosystems like forests, deserts, wetlands, and coral reefs

Interacts with the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), and atmosphere (air)

Think of the biosphere as Earth’s “life zone”—a thin layer around the planet that supports all life.
