The environment consists of i) Atmosphere, ii) Hydrosphere, and, iii) Biosphere.
A) i&ii
B) ii&iii
C) i&iii
D) i,ii&iii
Solution
In our day-to-day life humans interact with many things and in general interaction happens between biotic and abiotic components. There is a constant transfer of food and energy which provides stability and makes the system dynamic.
Complete step by step answer:
We all know that environment consists of mainly four components, they are,
Atmosphere,
Lithosphere,
Hydrosphere,
Biosphere.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere is a type of protective layer or envelope that surrounds the earth, sustains life on earth, and protects humans from unfriendly environments of outer space. It extends up to the height of about 1600Km from the earth's surface. It also contains oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Hydrosphere:
Hydrosphere covers more than 75% of the earth as fresh water or oceans and it also contains streams, ponds, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans, and etc.
Lithosphere:
It is called a solid component of earth, which includes soil, earth, rocks, mountains, etc. Again, Lithosphere comprises three more layers namely, inner, outer, and crust.
Biosphere:
It contains all other spheres and it influences and supports the entire biotic and abiotic life systems.
Therefore, option B is correct.
Note:
We must know that the atmosphere, Hydrosphere and Biosphere are closely connected. For instance, many birds in the biosphere sly through the air that is the atmosphere whereas water which is present in the hydrosphere flows through the soil that is the lithosphere. There is also interaction among other spheres. For example, if there is a change in the atmosphere, it can cause a change in the hydrosphere.
