The document discusses the hydrosphere, which is the total amount of water on Earth including oceans, ice, freshwater, and water vapor. It describes the major components of the hydrosphere like oceans, glaciers, freshwater, and atmospheric water vapor. Tables provide data on the volumes and percentages of total water contained in oceans, ice, underground aquifers, lakes, and the atmosphere. The document also outlines the different zones of the oceans from the epipelagic zone at the surface to the deepest hadalpelagic zone, and notes some characteristic animals found in each zone.
The lithosphere is the solid shell of the planet Earth. That means the crust, plus the part of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on long timescales.

Earth's energy budget refers to the tracking of how much energy is flowing into and out of the Earth's climate, where the energy is going, and if the energy coming in balances with the energy going out. The Earth receives energy from the Sun, and it also reflects and radiates energy back into space. All of the energy that warms the atmosphere, oceans and land must be radiated back into space in order to maintain our current climate. If the amount of energy radiating back into space is decreased by even a very small amount, it can lead to warming. It is believed that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has a 'greenhouse effect' of reducing the amount of energy radiated into space.

Marine life, or sea life or ocean life, is the plants, animals and other organisms that live in the salt water of the sea or ocean, or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. At a fundamental level, marine life helps determine the very nature of our planet. Marine organisms produce much of the oxygen we breathe. Shorelines are in part shaped and protected by marine life, and some marine organisms even help create new land.
Temperature, light, Oxygen, salinity, pH are important marine factors which impact the major life and physical properties of the oceans. These factors make the marine environment a dynamic entity and otherwise impacting on the terrestrial ecosystems too.
Biological oceanography gradually grew into a major scientific discipline with all these observations of marine organisms and their environments. In this episode, the following modules are highlighted:1. Nature of marine environment, 2. Classification of Marine environment, 3. Role of abiotic parameters on marine life, 4. Marine Flora , and 5. Marine Fauna.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

The totality of water surrounding the
Earth, comprising all the bodies of
water, ice and water vapor in the
atmosphere i.e. water held in oceans,
rivers, lakes, glaciers, ground water,
soil, and air.

Degasification theory
Water
vapour,CO2,CO,CH,Ammonia,sulphur, HCl,
argon, Hydroden came to Earth during lava
degassification resulting into Water.
Acid rains to underlying water results to alkali Earth.
Collisions with camets 4-40% of water.
17. Epipelagic Zone
The surface layer of the ocean is known as the
epipelagic zone and extends from the surface to 200
meters (656 feet).
It is also known as the sunlight zone because this is
where most of the visible light exists. With the light
come heat.
This heat is responsible for the wide range of
temperatures that occur in this zone.
18. Animals that live in the twilight zone must be able to
survive cold temperatures, an increase in water
pressure and dark waters.
Octopus, squid, and the hatchet fish are some of the
animals that can be found in this zone.
19. Mesopelagic Zone
Below the epipelagic zone is the mesopelagic zone,
extending from 200 meters (656 feet) to 1000 meters
(3281 feet).
The mesopelagic zone is sometimes referred to as the
twilight zone or the midwater zone. The light that
penetrates to this depth is extremely faint.
It is in this zone that we begin to see the twinkling
lights of bioluminescent creatures. A great diversity of
strange and bizarre fishes can be found here.
20. Bathypelagic Zone
It is sometimes referred to as the midnight zone or the dark
zone.
This zone extends from 1000 meters (3281 feet) down to
4000 meters (13,124 feet).
Here the only visible light is that produced by the creatures
themselves. The water pressure at this depth is immense,
reaching 5,850 pounds per square inch. In spite of the
pressure, a surprisingly large number of creatures can be
found here.
Sperm whales can dive down to this level in search of food.
Most of the animals that live at these depths are black or
red in color due to the lack of light.
21. Abyssopelagic Zone
It extends from 4000 meters (13,124 feet) to 6000 meters
(19,686 feet).
The name comes from a Greek word meaning "no bottom".
The water temperature is near freezing, and there is no
light at all. Very few creatures can be found at these
crushing depths.
Most of these are invertebrates such as basket stars and
tiny squids. Three-quarters of the ocean floor lies within
this zone. The deepest fish ever discovered was found in
the Puerto Rico Trench at a depth of 27,460 feet (8,372
meters).
22. Hadalpelagic Zone
This layer extends from 6000 meters (19,686 feet) to
the bottom of the deepest parts of the ocean.
The deepest point in the ocean is located in the
Mariana Trench off the coast of Japan at 35,797 feet
(10,911 meters).
The temperature of the water is just above freezing,
and the pressure is an incredible eight tons per square
inch. In spite of the pressure and temperature, life can
still be found here. Invertebrates such as starfish and
tube worms can thrive at these depths.

28. What is Groundwater?
Groundwater is water that has drained through surface
layers of soil and rock until it reaches a layer of rock
material through which it cannot pass, or can pass only
very slowly.
This results in the accumulation of water in the rock
layers above this impermeable layer. The water is
stored in gaps in the rock, or between the particles of
which the rock is composed. Rock which retains water
in this way is called an aquifer.

30. There are 145 large lakes across the globe with an area
of 100 square km
Holding 168 cubic km of water.
Swamps and bogs are widespread across the Earth
with a total area of about 2.7 million square km or
about 2 % of land area.
The most swampy continent is South America.
The soil moisture is an integral part of the
hydrosphere. This water occurs mainly in the top 2
metres of the soil.
31. Categories of lakes
Dystrophic lakes
low food value
full of soil particles
water is usually brown
Oligotrophic lakes
lake nourishment
very clear water
Eutrophic lakes
well nourished
intense birdlife
lots of plankton
42. The Bacillus stratosphericus - usually found 20 miles above the Earth - is
believed to have been brought to the surface by atmospheric cycling, which
causes evaporated water rise into the stratosphere and then fall again.
43. Pollution:
December 10 - USA = Steller sea lions threatened
Overfishing:
Nature shows that 90 percent of all large fishes have
disappeared from the world's oceans in the past half
century, a result of overfishing.
Climate change:
The Arctic fox is one of nine animals the IUCN says is
threatened by global warming
