Biosphere
• a capsule of the Earth, which is populated and is being reorganized by creatures
• a capsule, in which life exists or existed in the past (according to Wernadsky)
Biosphere includes:
• a live substance, which is made of creatures and organisms
• Biogenic substance, which is created and overworked during a process of life (gases of atmosphere, oil…)
• inert substance, which appears without the participation of creatures (meteorites, stones, skeleton…)
• Biological inert substance, which is a result of activities of creatures and biological processes
20th century
• studies of the Biosphere
• settling of people on the whole surface of the Earth
The humanity:
• like one organism – the subject of the evolutionary process
• A little part of the planet substance
but: the power
of humanity – mental abilities, brain and constructive work
• Understanding how to reform the Biosphere for the human beings sake
Noosphere – the new biosphere with the participating of humans
Acknowledgement of the humans constructive role for the
