Environment is sum total of water, air, animals,
human man beings and other living organisms
lives. Air, water, and land constitutes our
surrounding and is directly influencing us. Singh
categorized environment into four scopes:
atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere and
the biosphere.
Atmosphere
The Invisible Ocean
According to the National Geographic, we live at the bottom
of an invisible ocean called the atmosphere, a layer of gases
surrounding our planet. Nitrogen and oxygen account for 99
percent of the gases in dry air, with argon, carbon dioxide,
helium, neon, and other gases making up minute portions.
Water vapor and dust are also part of Earth's atmosphere.
Biosphere
Biosphere is the layer of the earth that contains all living organisms. It is
the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their
relationships, including their interaction with other elements( lithosphere,
hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
Hydrosphere
Hydrosphere comprises the total amount of water on a
planet. The abundance of water on Earth clearly distinguishes
our uniqueness from other planets in the solar system. Water
is a basic element of the planet. Water is an important
element of the life support system in which all biochemical
reactions within a living organism and the other forms of
terrestrial life rely. It is vital for self-reproducing life. It is a
universal solvent and carrier of substances.
Lithosphere
Lithosphere is the outer mantle of the solid
earth. It's the earth's outermost rigid rock layer
composed of plates that float on the
asthenosphere. It consists of minerals occurring
in the earth's crust and the soil. Minerals are
metallic and non-metallic elements or
compounds of elements or compounds of
elements that occur naturally on the earth's
crust. Minerals are used in many different ways,
in domestic, agricultural, industrial and
commercial sectors and helps every nation's
economy. Soil is the upper layer of the earth's
crust and supports plants, animals and
microorganisms.

Environmental awareness is being aware of the state of the
environment. The environment refers to all parts of nature, living and
non-living.
