With living things, we have found that they all share certain things. They all try to expand to dominate the habitat, as this is reproduction itself, and, that everything is 'alive.' Even rocks need water or they recede into nothing, and, granted water, will grow under the sea, hey? So, water is essential for growth, and, all things need water. On every planet there is a eater cycle and that means that there is always a cycle of rebirth, and, recycling, where there is an attempt to gather more water for more growth. This means there is constant activity, like a human body.
I put this down to the earth naturally being hot, of every planet. That is because the planet is heating up due to activity since it formed, and, when it stops reacting it will cool down. Thing is the planets stay active because there was an intense fire lit that feeds off of rocks, rocks that are full of fuels, like the wood in a fire. These fuels will be present or the planet will not generate water, as, the water in the rocks change the rocks to form the fuels, like liquifying powdered milk, orite?
Thus, biology affects everything, under different terms.
