INTRODUCTION
• EVERY ORGANISM IN THIS EARTH IS SURROUNDED BY A LOT OF
THINGS; SAY OTHER ORGANISMS, PLANTS, WATER, AIR, LIGHT, LAND
ETC.
• THESE SURROUNDING OF THE ORGANISM ALL LIVING OR NON
LIVINGS CONSTITUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.

• DEFINITION: ENVIRONMENT IS DEFINED AS THE SOCIAL, CULTURAL

AND THE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT SURROUND, AFFECT AND
INFLUENCE THE SURVIVAL, GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF PEOPLE,
ANIMALS OR PLANTS.
COMPONENTS OF ENVIRONMENT

PHYSICAL
• ATMOSPHERE
• HYDROSPHERE
• LITHOSPHERE

ENVIRONMENT

CULTURAL
BIOLOGICAL • SOCIETY
• ABIOTIC • ECONOMY
• BIOTIC • POLITICS
PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF ENVIRONMENT
• THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDES SOIL,
AIR, WATER, CLIMATE, TEMPRATURE ETC.
• PHYSICAL COMPONETS OF ENVIRONMRNT IS AGAIN DIVIDED INTO
THREE PARTS.
ATMOSPHERE
[GAS]

HYDROSPHERE
THESE ARE : [LIQUID]

LITHOSPHERE
[SOLID]
ATMOSPHERE
• IT IS A LAYER(BLANKET) OF GASES SURROUNDING THE EARTH.
• THIS IS HELD IN ITS PLACE DUE TO THE GRAVITY OF THE EARTH.
• GASES LIKE NITROGEN, OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, ARGON AND
WATER VAPOUR ETC. TOGETHER MAKE UP THE VOLUME OF
ATMOSPHERE.
LAYERS OF EARTH’S
ATMOSPHERE
HYDROSPHERE
• IT INCLUDES THE SURFACE WATER AND ITS SURROUNDING
INTERFACE. 
• LIKE OCEANS, RIVERS. LAKES ETC.
• WATER POSSESSES A NUMBER OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES THAT HELP THE MOLECULE TO ACT AS BEST SUITED
MEDIUM FOR LIFE ACTIVITIES.
LITHOSPHERE

• It is the outer boundary layer of solid earth and the discontinuity

within the mantle.

• Basically lithosphere is nothing but a crustal system composed of

various layers: Core, mantle and outer crust. 
• LAYERS OF EARTH
BIOSPHERE
ATMOSPHERE
• . THE BIOSPHERE IS THE
GLOBAL ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM
INTEGRATING ALL LIVING
BEINGS AND THEIR
RELATIONSHIPS, INCLUDING
THEIR INTERACTION WITH THE
ELEMENTS OF BIOSPHERE
THE LITHOSPHERE, GEOSPHERE, 
HYDROSPHERE,
AND ATMOSPHERE HYDROSPHERE
LITHOSPHERE
BIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF ENVIRONMENT

• THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF BIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS.

BIOTIC
BIOLOGICAL
• THESE ARE : COMPONENT
S
ABIOTIC
ABIOTIC COMPONENTS OF
ENVIRONMENT
• ABIOTIC COMPONENTS ARE NON-LIVING CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL FACTORS IN
THE ENVIRONMENT.
• THIS COMPONENT INTERACTS WITH BIOTIC COMPONENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
• THIS INTERACTION OF TWO COMPONENTS FORMS VARIOUS ECOSYSTEMS LIKE
POND ECOSYSTEM, MARINE ECOSYSTEM , DESERT ECOSYSTEM ETC.
• EXAMPLES ARE:

TEMPRATURE SUNLIGHT PH SOIL COMPONENTS

BIOTIC COMPONENTS OF
ENVIRONMENT
• THIS COMPONENT CONSISTS OF ALL LIVING THINGS LIKE PLANTS,
ANIMALS AND SMALL-MICRORGANISMS LIKE BACTERIA.
• ALL ECOSYSTEMS CONSITS OFTHREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIVING
ORGANISM.
PRODUCER

CONSUMER
BIOTIC

DECOMPOSER
CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
• THE CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT GIVES AN IDEA OF LEARNED
BEHAVIORAL TRAITS THOSE ARE CLEAR AND SHARED BY SOCIETY
• THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUY CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
IS THAT IT CANNOT BE PHYSICALLY REPRESENTED, BUT IT IS
THERE ANYWAY.
THANK YOU!
