amounts of other gases..Animals need the oxygen in the air

to live. In the human body, the lungs give oxygen to the blood,
and give back carbon dioxide to the air. Plants need the
carbon dioxide in the air to live. They give off oxygen that
humans can breathe again.

molecules, and many harmful substances into Earth's
atmosphere, causing diseases, allergies, Death to humans,

According to the 2014 WHO report, air pollution in

An atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding
a planet or other material body. An atmosphere
is more likely to be retained if its gravity is high

Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have
condensed from atmospheric water vapour and then precipitated
, thus become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a
major component of the water cycle and is responsible for
depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides
suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water
for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation.
The major cause of rain production is moisture moving along three-
dimensional zones of temperature and moisture contrasts known as
weather fronts.

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies
(e.g. lakes, rivers). This form of environmental
degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or
indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate
treatment to remove harmful compounds.Water
pollution affects the entire biosphere – plants and

Earth is about 1.4 billion km and about 70%
of the earth is covered in water.

cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species
and population, but also to the natural biological
communities.
Soil is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids, and countless organisms that
together support life on Earth.. Soil is called the Skin of the Earth…

The oxygen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle of oxygen within its two main reservoirs: the atmosphere (air), the total content of biological matter
within the biosphere (the global sum of all ecosystems), and the Earth's crust. The main driving factor of the oxygen cycle is photosynthesis ,
which is responsible for the modern Earth's atmosphere and life on earth
