Hey classmates, it is rightly said that heaven is under our feet and over our heads but no

wonder we fail to acknowledge it, so in today's discussion let me tell you about those four
major domains of the earth that make our earth indeed a heaven.

so what are the four domains of earth? the massive universe formed millions of years ago
has infinite undiscovered spaces, trillions of stars, millions of galaxies and the nine planets
in our solar system but the universe blessed planet earth with living beings and to make life
possible. three different components meet so humans can survive and thrive, these are the
elements of land, water and air these are nothing but the domains of the earth namely the
lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere which give rise to the biosphere. let's have a
good look at each of them, starting with the lithosphere and to know about it let's speak a
little beneath the earth's surface, as you can see it is made up of various layers out of which
the crust and the upper layer of the mantle make the lithosphere which is basically the
solid portion of the earth, the lithosphere is further divided into two parts, the continental
crust which is the thick part of the earth's crust which forms the large land masses and the
oceanic crust that could be found deep under the ocean and seas which are denser than the
continental crust. now let us move further to learn about the hydrosphere, you see
although the earth seems hot and burning from inside but when you look at it from space
you'll see one soothing cool planet due to its blue shade as around 71percent of the earth's
surface is covered by water and this water-covered area is called the hydrosphere this 71
percent of the water is found in three different forms that is water located in a liquid state
into the water bodies such as oceans, seas, lakes ponds etc. in a solid state such as ice and
gaseous state such as water vapor. but always remember that out of the 71 of available
water only 2.5 is consumable by humans so it is advisable that you consume water
wisely and not waste or contaminate it. now let us move further and look at the sky i know
you feel that the area between the surface of the earth and space is a vacuum or there is
nothing in between but let me inform you that a lot is happening there as it is covered with
a set of layers of gases we call the atmosphere that surrounds the earth, this invisible shield
of gas performs various duties like keeping us warm providing the oxygen and it is where
the weather changes the atmosphere is further composed of different layers and each layer
has its prominence the first layer is the troposphere the lowest layer of atmosphere that
ranges up to five to nine miles above the earth's surface and is denser than other layers the
troposphere is where all of earth's weather occurs and contains approximately eighty
percent of the total mass of the atmosphere, now as we move ahead up to 31 miles from the
earth's surface we enter the stratosphere, this vital layer absorbs harmful uv rays coming
from the sun towards the earth with the help of the ozone layer present in it the next layer
is mesosphere, where meteors rushing with a high speed gets burnt up and after that
comes the thermosphere, where the solar radiations are absorbed and you can witness the
aurora in the same layer and the last layer is exosphere, which meets space. now coming
back to the fourth domain of earth that brings all the elements such as land water and air
together is our last sphere the biosphere, the biosphere represents every part of earth
where living organisms are found that could be commonly divided into two main parts
the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom this sphere ranges from the vast sky to the base
of the enormous water bodies such as oceans, it is believed to be formed millions of years
ago where the first living organism to be created was bacteria so here we go Classmates
these are the four domains of the earth we need to survive and thrive on this vast universe
and the earth is the only planet to be blessed with it, so cherish it, nourish it and make sure
not to do anything to perish it because this is the only home we have our beloved planet
earth. Thank you guys for listening uhm my throat is already dry, so once again its me yana
