ATMOSPHERE
It is a thin gaseous layer that envelopes the lithosphere.
The present atmosphere is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21%
oxygen, 0.9% argon, and trace amount of other gases.
There is also a constant exchange of heat and moisture between the
atmosphere and the hydrosphere through the hydrologic cycle.

The four layers of the atmosphere are:
1. Troposphere- layer where we live.
2. Stratosphere- layer which
contains the ozone layer.
3. Mesosphere- layer where meteors
burn.
4. Thermosphere-layer where
satellites orbit Earth.

LITHOSPHERE
The lithosphere includes the rocks of the crust and
mantle, the metallic liquid outer core, and the solid
metallic inner core.
It is a solid Earth
Extends from surface to the center of planet.
It is the largest among the four Earth’s spheres.

HYDROSPHERE
Ocean is the most prominent feature of the hydrosphere.
About 70% of the earth is covered with liquid water (hydrosphere)
and much of it is in the form of ocean water.
Only 3% of Earth’s water is fresh: two-thirds are in the form
of ice, and the remaining one-third is present in streams, lakes,
and groundwater.

BIOSPHERE
The biosphere is the set of all life forms on Earth.
It covers all ecosystems- from the soil to the rainforest,
from mangroves to coral reefs, and from the plankton-
rich ocean surface to the deep sea.
