Biosphere and Biome
Biosphere
The earth's four layers.
This is a diagram showing the earth's four layers.

An example of a biosphere is earth and its
atmosphere. The earth has four levels. the
outermost layer is the crust. That is where
people and animals live and is made of solid
rock. The next layer going inwards is the
mantle. The mantle is the largest section of
the earth and is hard rock at the top
and the bottom is soft rock that is melting
away. The next layer is the outer core. The
outer core surrounds the inner core. The
outer core is a liquid layer that is made of
iron and nickel. The last layer and the
innermost layer in called the inner core
and just like the outer core but this layer is
solid. The core is also the hottest layer.

The earth's atmosphere
This shows a diagram of the layers of the atmosphere. http://cnx.org/content/m34374/latest/Picture%204.png
There are five levels of the earth's atmosphere. The first level is the troposhpere. The troposhpere is where weather ocurrs. The next level is the stratosphere and that is where aircrafts like planes fly. the third level of the atmosphere is the mesosphere. In that level, meteors burn up. The fourth layer is the thermosphere and that is where the space shuttle orbits. The last level is the exosphere where it is very thin and that is where the atmoshpere merges into space

Biome
There are many different biomes all around the world. As you can see, a lot of the biomes are the same especially according to which hemisphere it is in. For example, the northern hemisphere . That means the same animals probably live there as well.
