Describe how much water is available to humans as drinking water, compared with the rest of the water on earth.

Only 1 % of water is availble to humans for drinking water. 97% is salt water, other 2 % is frozen ice caps. Therefore very little water available to humans.

Biodiversity of an area depends on the atmosphere for providing rain for plants and animals, suitable temperature range.

Suppose a hurricane formed in the atmosphere of the Atlantic Ocean and it was heading towards the East Coast of the United States. How would this affect the biosphere of the area that it was hit? Think plants, animals and humans…
