Cards (6)

  • Temperature -Influences how quickly atoms and molecules move. Allow liquid water to exist on Earth's surface which is favorable to life.
  • Water -The existence of water in three phases is very essential to Earth's diverse ecosystem
  • Atmosphere
    -Traps heat, shields the surface from harmful radiation, and provides chemicals needed for life. such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide. It regulates the balance of water. oxygen and carbon dioxide.
  • Energy from the Sun -Light or chemical energy is used by organisms to run their life processes such as the process of photosynthesis used by producers like plants.
  • Nutrients -Used to build and maintain an organism's body
  • Magnetic Field -A planet requires a rapidly rotating magnetic field to protect it from flares from nearby stars and harmful radiation
