Answer:

Explanation:Biosphere is a part of the Earth where all organisms (plants and animals) live. They live in thin upper part of oceans and everywhere on/within the land mass. In higher altitude, UV radiation and low temperatures disable life to spread. In the deep ocean, life is present in the depth of up to 500 m below oceanic floor.

What are the main elements of biosphere?

Air. The atmosphere contains the gases that surround the terrestrial and maritime biomes within the biosphere. In the atmosphere the main elements are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon. Oxygen is the most prominent element and allows for the organic life, such as humanity, to exist on the Earth.

The five systems of Earth (geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) interact to produce the environments we are familiar with.
