4. Technology
a. Using new technology can benefit the earth. British scientist are using Google
Earth to research biomes and species also to track deforestation. By using the satellites they are able to get a quicker and more in depth look at the world with less cost and time.
b. Google has a new technology using its satellites to be able to look at the different biomes of the earth. The name of this is Google Earth and it can do extraordinary things like help us look up endangered species and keep track of them and also help see where deforestation is occurring and bring awareness.

Ch.4
1. Adaptable Planet
a. The Earth is remarkable perfect not only is it the perfect distance from the sun to keep water around it also protects from getting too hot or cold and keeping oxygen in the atmosphere.
b. The Earth is the perfect distance watch keeps life sustainable. If the earth was any farther or closer water would not be possible in the forms that is required for life also there is just the right temperature so that one side is too hot or another is too cold which is maintained through the spinning of the Earth on its axis. Finally the Earth keeps the perfect amount of oxygen, too little would be lethal for life and too much would create a giant fireball.
