The volcano 🌋

Our planet depends on minerals brought up by volcanoes from the earth’s molten core.The lands surrounding volcanoes are among the world’s most fertile.

Volcanoes release carbon dioxide,foundation of life(plants absorb)and its presence in atmosphere has suited life perfectly. Its greenhouse properties have kept our planet’s climate stable and warm.(humans release 100 times more CO2 than all combined)

The vampire finches have become one of the world’s newest species.

A ring-shaped island of coral rock surrounding a lagoon is an atoll.

The sun 🌞

Tiny fig wasp burrows into the undeveloped fig , lays hundreds of eggs within internal flower and unpacks fig pollen then fertilizers the tiny flowers finally dies when finishing laying and fertilizing.

The first to emerge are the golden wingless male wasps ,which then start to mate with their un-hatched sisters. While their now-pregnant sisters are beginning to hatch, the males themselves burrow their way to the outside world. The brothers final act is a chivalrous one that they sacrifice themselves to marauding ants as decoys. The young females loaded with pollen live for just forty-eight hours and then need to do the same as their mothers did.

Wood frog’s(cryogenic) frozen blood is melting and begins to flow through its veins. As its heart begins to beat again. Twelve hours later, it totally thaws and comes back to life as if by magic.(defrosting ability)

Weather 🌪️

The river becomes a magnet for visitors.

A rain frog in a place that gets just 7 centimeters of rain a year eat a termite with 75% water.

Even in the most hostile of places, weather still provides just enough for survival of camels in Gobi desert.

The red crabs on the Christmas Island that cannot swim for lives and reproduction entirely reliant on the return of the monsoon.

Oceans 🌊

Where there are currents, there is life.

The currents sweep scales back up into the sunlit surface waters where it nourishes clouds of phytoplankton: simple microscopic plants that are the pasture of the seas. There are thousands of different kinds and together they produce half of all the oxygen in the atmosphere, more than all our forests and jungles combined. And by absorbing carbon, they are our greatest ally in combating climate change. Plankton are the foundation of almost all life in the ocean for those places where the currents bring nutrients to the surface, they multiply in astonishing numbers, turning the ocean green.

With the ingenious new technique, Eden’s whales have found a way to survive the pressures they now face.

Humans🙅🏻🙅🙅🏾🙅🏿🙅🏻‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏿‍♀️

Humanity is now acting like a super-volcano.

For every one degree that the temperature goes up on this planet because of CO2 emissions, the atmosphere is sucking up 7% more water. So we’re getting more concentrated precipitation in the clouds and more radical, extreme, unpredictable, out of control weather events. More fires, more droughts, more floods.

It’s enabled them to collect over 200 of the most important tree species from across the Amazon. By mixing the seeds together, it allows them to create a super recipe known as a muvuca. In this mixture, there is enough tree variety to jump-start a new jungle. After 6 years, they will have restored an area of forest the size of 30000 football fields.

Phytoplankton are at the base of the food chain on the top of which everything else survives. However, since the start of the industrial revolution, the oceans have absorbed almost half of all our CO2 emissions, which has come at a cost. When water absorbs carbon dioxide, it becomes more acidic. Our increasingly warm, acidic waters are not only destroying coral reefs, but decimating some phytoplankton, the amount of which has fallen by as much as 40% in recent years.
