HOW HAS LIFE SHAPED EARTH- AND HOW HAS EARTH SHAPED LIFE?

We are inhabitants of the planet Earth. The natural world has provided humanity with all

they have needed to exist and thrive: food, water, medicine, building materials, and even natural

cycles such as climate and nutrition. There are several species in our world, including humans.

But how has life shaped our planet? In the last hundred years, our planet, Earth, has remained

healthy and unpolluted. It is evident that life on Earth is currently rebuilding the globe, as seen

by rerouted rivers and human-made holes visible from space. One influence is also the change in

the composition of the atmosphere, acidification of the oceans, and the global dissemination of

novel materials, which are not apparent to the naked eye. According to my observations, living

things such as humans and animals emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and obtain oxygen

through the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and other human activities contribute to

greenhouse gases that influence our ozone layer as temperatures rise and ice caps melt, but they

also alter weathering and hence mountain formations.

Next, consider how the Earth has shaped life. Because of our reliance on non-living

things like plants, it is apparent that the Earth shapes us humans and other living animals. That is

where we acquire our food and the air we breathe. All living species cannot survive in the

absence of the Earth, but the Earth will survive in the absence of humanity. Our planet contains

everything we require in our daily lives. However, our planet Earth is no longer as it once was

because of human activity. The various weather phenomena that we encounter are the outcome

of human actions. That is why we must take extra care of our earth because our lives rely on it.
