Multidisciplinary nature of Environmental Studies
Global Environment :
Consist of three Segments
: 1. Atmosphere
2. Hydrosphere , 3. Lithosphere
Hydrosphere
The hydrosphere consist of oceans, seas, river, Streams, glaciers, lake, reservoirs, polar
icecaps.
Approx. 71% of our earth surface is covered by water. 97 %water present in ocean and
2% Ice caps and glacier and 1% in the form of fresh water i.e. river , groundwater.
Lithosphere
Lithosphere is the top crust of the earth on which continent and ocean basin rest. It is
soil mantle (that wraps the core of the earth )in which all the biological activities take
place.
The atmosphere is blanket of gases and suspended liquids and solid that entirely
envelop the earth , extend upto several thousand km.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is blanket of gases and suspended liquids and solid
that entirely envelop the earth , extend upto several thousand km.
It absorbs most of the cosmic rays from outer space and a major portion of the
electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from the sun and transmit only nearly UV, visible
and near infrared radiation (300 to 2,500 nm) and radiowaves.
