Aquatic Biomes
There are 3 types of Aquatic Biomes. There are Freshwater, Marine, and Eastuary biomes.
Freshwater biomes is obviously freshwater and carries freshwater adapted animals.
Estuary biomes have a type of water that is called Brackish. It's a mix of freshwater and saltwater. There are animals there that are from freshwater rivers and oceans. There are, especially, a lot of sea creatures.
Marine biomes have salt water. The biomes experience low tides and high tides and have intertidal zones. Some creatures get stuck in these biomes because of the low tides and have to wait until they come back to travel back into the ocean. Examples of these trapped sea creatures would be; crabs.

Terrestrial Biomes
Though there are many types of Terrestrial Biomes, there are 6 main ones that is going to be talked about. The 6 biomes are; Grassland, Rainforest, Boreal (Taiga) Forest, Desert, Tundra, and Temperate Deciduous Forest.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety of life. Biodiversity is a key to having a good ecosystem and if said ecosystem is having a hard time, it will survive, because of that good biodiversity. If an Ecosystem has good Biodiversity, then that means there are a lot of different animals. Each Ecosystem has a Carrying Capacity, which is how many animals it can support and hold. Each animal has a Niche, which is their role or job in their Ecosystem.
Resources
The Earth we live in has many resources, especially resources that gives us power. The Resources that Earth provides us with is called Natural Resources. Natural Resources can be renewable, nonrenewable, and even inexhaustible.
Renewable Resources are ones that can be replenished in a human lifetime or can be used wisely so it won't run out as fast. Examples would be Water power, Solar energy, Thermal energy, Timber, Biomass, and Wind energy.
Nonrenewable Resources is the typical fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and uranium. Fossil Fuels take hundreds upon thousands of millions of years, which is why they are classified as nonrenewable.
Inexhaustible Resources are things that can be made from other things such as sand or clay or is virtually impossible to run out of such as air.

Climate Change
Many know that Climate Change is upon us, but some are still in denial. What is Climate Change and what are the risks of it?
Climate Change is basically the changing of our climate through Greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are gases like Carbon Dioxide that get trapped in our atmosphere. These gases contain heat a lot more than before, which is why it's suddenly hotter in the summers, or the winters are not as cold and the ice is melting at the North and South pole. The Greenhouse gases also wear away at our Ozone layer. Our Ozone layer protects against the UV rays of the sun, and in turn reduces the likelyhood of skin cancer.
Natural disasters that used to happen not so very often will be happening a lot sooner if there is not something done. Things like hurricanes and forest fires will be happening every month or every week before you know it.

Sustainability
Sustainibility is the ability to use resources no faster than they can regenerate. There are things like Sustainable Development that helps people out of poverty and protects the environment. Biotechnology is basically technology with life in it. An example of this would be Bacteria. Certain Bacteria can help us clean up oil spills.
Sustainable Agriculture mimic's natural life. This is extremely useful and helpful because so much of Earth's natural life is being destroyed for more businesses and housing. There are practices such as Low Imput Farming and Organic Farming that are also helpful.
For Low Imput Farming you do less work to get more money.
Organic Farming makes you do a little more work. With Organic Farming, you don't use synthetic pesticides or inorganic fertilizer. For fertilizer you use manure or compost. For pesticide, you can use helpful predators to keep away unhelpful pests. You can also use plants that can adapt to non-rich places on your farm. 3 other alternatives for farming includes No-till farming, Contour farming, and Salinization. No-till farming is just as the name implies, you don't till the ground to plant crops. Instead, you plant other crops to keep to ground filled with nutrients until your next major crop. Contour farming is when instead of planting in a straight line on a hill, you plant in a circle on the hill. This gives the maximum amount of area you can plant crops and is for a limited water supply. Salinazation is simply for limited irrigation.
