Happy Earth Day!
Every year on April 22, we celebrate Earth Day. This day is dedicated to our planet, highlighting the importance of protecting our natural home. It’s a time to be thankful for the world’s natural beauty and to learn more about how we can keep it healthy.
The Wonders of Water
Did you know that Earth is sometimes called the “Water Planet”? That’s because its surface is over 70% water! But, not all this water is drinkable. In fact, only about 2.5% of it is fresh water, and even less is easily accessible to humans and land animals.
Soil: More Than Just Dirt
Soil is not just where plants grow. It’s a living system filled with organisms. One handful of soil can contain billions of microscopic bacteria, fungi, and insects! Soil is very important because it helps clean water, and without it, plants couldn’t grow.
Our Air: Invisible but Vital
The atmosphere is made up of layers with different gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. These gases are crucial for life on Earth. Plants, for example, need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and we need oxygen to breathe.
Earth’s Magnetic Field: Our Protective Shield
The Earth has a magnetic field, which acts like a giant invisible shield, protecting us from solar winds and harmful cosmic rays. This magnetic field is created by the outer core’s molten iron, which moves around the inner core.
Amazing Mountains
Mountains are not just stunning to look at; they’re also home to many plants and animals. Some of the tallest mountains can even affect the weather! The highest point on Earth is Mount Everest, which reaches 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level.
Taking Action for Earth
On Earth Day, we do activities to help protect our environment. This could mean planting a tree, which can absorb carbon dioxide, or cleaning up litter to keep our landscapes beautiful.
