 WHAT IS
ATMOSPHERE?
THE ATMOSPHERE
Atmosphere is the thin layer of
air that surrounds the earth.

It is made up of various gases

such as oxygen, nitrogen,
carbon dioxides, dust particles
and water vapour.
LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
Exosphere
The final layer stretches into space and houses satellites.

Thermosphere
This is the hottest layer because it absorbs the sun's radiation. Auroras occur in this layer.

Mesosphere
The coldest layer which protects us from meteors because they burn up in this layer.

Stratosphere
The ozone is found in this layer protecting us from UV rays

Troposphere
The layer in which we live and weather occurs.
The atmosphere protects life
on earth by shielding it from
incoming ultraviolet (UV)
radiation, keeping the planet
warm through insulation, and
preventing extremes
between day and night
temperatures.
 WHAT IS
HYDROSPHERE?
 THE HYDROSPHERE
A hydrosphere is the total amount
of water on a planet.

The hydrosphere includes water

that is on the surface of the
planet, underground, and in the
air. A planet's hydrosphere can
be liquid, vapor, or ice.
 WHERE IS THE HYRDOSPHERE?
Anywhere you can find water!

Clouds

Glaciers

Lakes

Oceans Ground Water Rivers

 WHAT IS
LITHOSPHERE?
THE LITHOSPHERE
The lithosphere is the outer layer
of the Earth, made up of the crust
and upper mantle.

These layers provide plants

with the nutrients needed to
grow and contain the different
rocks from the rock cycle.
EARTH PROCESSES
Refer to the various natural forces and
phenomena that shape and change the
Earth's surface over time.

These processes include weathering,

erosion, and deposition.
 WEATHERING EROSION DEPOSITION
The process by which
The transportation of eroded materials are
The process by which weathered materials, dropped or deposited
rocks are broken down such as rock fragments, in new locations. When
and worn away into soil, and sediments, by the energy of wind,
smaller pieces. natural agents like water, or ice decreases,
wind, water, and ice. it can no longer carry
the sediments, causing
them to settle and
accumulate.
ALL ABOUT THE LITHOSPHERE
There are two types of lithosphere:

Continental Oceanic
Lithosphere Lithosphere

The lithosphere is broken into plates and is often known for

it's plate tectonics, the movement that causes earthquakes,
volcanos and create various landmarks.
 WHAT IS
BIOSPHERE?
 THE BIOSPHERE
The biosphere is composed of all the
ecosystems on earth where there is life.

It contains three systems:

The The The

atmosphere hydrosphere lythosphere
 ECOLOGY
A branch of biology which deals with the
relationships of organisms to one another
and to their physical environment.
Basic concepts:
Ecosystem, Biosphere, Organism,
Population, and Community.
ECOSYSTEM
A community of living organisms
interacting with one another and
their non-living environment
within a particular area.

Types of Ecosystems
1. Fresh water Ecosystems
2. Terrestrial Ecosystems
3. Ocean Ecosystems
BALANCED
ECOSYSTEM
• Predators and Prey
• Impact of Human
Activities on Balance in an
Ecosystem
 WHAT IS
HUMAN SPHERE?
THE HUMAN SPHERE
Comprises of human, its various
products and environments of
both natural and artificial
characters.
It now surpasses its biological
limit, affecting inorganic earth
realms.
The human sphere is a huge
player of the spheres.
 At present, humans are putting an estimated 9.5 billion
metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year by
burning fossil fuels, and another 1.5 billion through
deforestation and other land cover changes. Of this human-
produced carbon, forests and other vegetation absorb
around 3.2 billion metric tons per year, while the ocean
absorbs about 2.5 billion metric tons per year. A net 5 billion
metric tons of human-produced carbon remain in the
atmosphere each year, raising the global average carbon
dioxide concentrations by about 2.3 parts per million per
year. Since 1750, humans have increased the abundance of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by nearly 50 percent.

POPULATION GROWTH
The increase in the number of
humans on Earth
Three major factors that
affect population growth:
fertility rate, life expectancy,
and net immigration levels.
 “Appropriate monitoring of the changes of
human sphere together with its interaction
with the other spheres, analyses of the
related data and information, and
enhancement of understanding in human
sphere are essential for global sustainability”
