EARTH'S HYDROSPHERE : a relevant one !

            Hydrosphere means the water on the surface of the globe and in the atmosphere surrounding it [ from the Scribner-Bantam English Dictionary ]. It is the liquid part of the earth. It is almost three-fourths of the earth's composition. It is also one of the most important part of the earth for all creations especially living things because they need water for survival. For without it they will surely die. In physical geography describes the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet [ .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrosphere ].

             Water is one of the most basic needs of the living creatures. One concrete example is we humans, we can live for a long period with water than with food but we both need them off course. Another is the plants. Water is the one who gives them life for they are like humans. They need water for them to grow,germinate and reproduce.
             
             It doesn't only stops on that it also gives beautification to the earth. For example the beaches,resorts and other tourist spots that our country is rich for. It is one way of helping the economy of our country to go up, for it invites other people especially those foreigners. It is also a way of transportation. Beside the airplane we can use bodies of water through the ships for us to migrate or just gallivant to the far places we want.
                          
             Though it gives many advantages it has also the negative part, its disadvantage. A very good example are the phenomena's caused or made of water like tsunami,floods etc. Tsunami a large wave produced by an earthquake or volcanic eruption on the ocean bed [ from the Scribner-Bantam English Dictionary ]. Like what happened in Japan just this year million lives and properties of people were lost due to that phenomena. Flood large mass of water overflowing the surface of a place or region [ from the Scribner-Bantam English Dictionary ]. It can also kill thousands of lives and properties.
                        
             Therefore water is powerful. It gives life but if it will take revenge it can destroy or can erase a place or region in the map. All we have to do in order to maintain the peacefulness of the bodies of water is to take good care of it by simply not throwing garbage to it. The change must first start in our own selves.
