The Importance of Mangroves and Coral Reefs in our life.


Coral reefs are another type of living things, it is a marine organism that secretes calcium carbonate over a long period of time, they form a hard outer skeletal covering, and they are the polyps who grow along in large groups. Polyps are tiny cylindrical habitats, like a shellfish, and they are invertebrates and have on internal bone. Coral reefs can also be known as a group of polyps that grow together. Fringing reefs, coral atolls and barrier reefs are the three main types of coral reefs and they are reproducing either sexually or asexually.
 
Coral reefs is important because they are the shelter of the fishes and other marine organism, make their own ecosystem without an ecosystem marine organism can't survive and also the human, they can minimize the sea wave to protect the coastal areas they have been used in the treatment of cancer, HIV, cardiovascular disease, ulcer and other ailments, most pharmaceutical companies have targeted the coral reefs for medicines on other terminal diseases, they are like plants that can reduced the carbon dioxide, they support food chain by  
      being a food for tropical fishes, maintains the 
      balance of ecosystem                                    

 
Mangroves are the backbone of the tropical ocean, mangroves is also finger-like roots are known to protect coastal wetlands against the ocean, they are also the habitats of the fishes. Mangroves are extremely important coastal resources, which are vital to our socio-economic development. It reduces the effect of green house effect by absorbing the carbon dioxide. It is also protecting the coastline against flood.

Hydrosphere in our life

                                                          Hydrosphere in our life



living cells
The planet earth can produce life because of our hydrosphere. All the living things need water. Living things is made up of almost 75% of water. The water makes our cell function normally, and without it life will not exist.




Oceans and atmosphere is the one who help the earth to maintain its temperature. A big body of water like oceans needs a long period of time to change its temperature. 



Water is important in our industry because it can generate electricity, use as drinking water, and use as solvent.





The water cycle:
When water is heated by the energy from the sun or if you boil water, it evaporates and form water vapor and cools again it condenses to form liquid water and returns again to the surface of the earth by precipitation. The water cycle moving through the atmosphere and the energy changes and accompany it that drives our weather pattern on the earth.

In our lithosphere the hydrosphere is also important. Water is the best in weathering agent that helps to break rocks to form into sediments or soil. Weathering and erosion help the earth to shape its surface like cave, the Grand Canyon and others.  As we see the earth is beautiful and natural.

The Good and Bad effects of Science and technology

Science and Technology has both good and bad effects on human life.The major good effect of science and technology is to make our lives easier, for example you can wash your clothes using the
washing machine while you are also doing other things. Doing our work easier because of the invention of computers and machineries in our work place. The major bad effects of science and technology are air pollution and water pollution, because all of the invention of machineries on the factories and automobile pollute our air and water and it is also
harmful to our lives. The bad effects of science and technology are;the climate now is hotter, the fresh air is hardly to get, the water of  the rivers become dark, I seen also the road now are more smoky, and the effects of nuclear energy power plant is hrmful to our lives.Advancements in technology has also increased unemployment.People today have become lazy because of modern technology.
