THE REALMS OF THE

EARTH

INTRODUCTION
THE EARTH HAS THE MOST SUITABLE
ENVIRONMENT HAS THREE MAJOR
COMPONENTS THAT WE CAN REALMS OF
THE EARTH-LAND OR LITHOSPHERE, WATER
OR HYDROSPHERE AND AIR OR
ATMOSPHERE. THESE COMPONENT UNDER
SUITABLE CLIMATE MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR
ALL LIFE FORMS TO EXIST IN A NARROW
ZONE OF CONTACT BETWEEN THESE THREE
REALMS. THIS NARROW ZONE IS CALLED
THE BIOSPHERE. THE BIOSPHERE MAKES
THE UNIQUE AS NO OTHER PLANET OR
CELESTIAL BODY, AS WE KNOW TODAY, HAS
LIFE ON IT.

LITHOSPHERE
THE LITHOSPHERE IS THE LAND ON
WHICH WE LIVE. IT IS THE SOLID OUTER
LAYER OF THE EARTHY CONSISTING OF
ROCK AND SOIL. THE UPPERMOST LAYER
OF THE LITHOSPHERE IS CALLED CRUST.
THE CRUST IS MADE UP OF TWO LAYERSTHE UPPER LAYER IS CALLED SIAL AND
THE LOWER LAYER IS CALLED SIMA. SIAL
HAS ROCKS RICH IN SILICON AND
ALUMINIUM WHILE SIMA HAS ROCKS
RICH IN SILICON AND ALUMINIUM.

HYDROSPHERE
THE HYDROSPHERE CONSIST OF WATER
BODIES SUCH AS OCEANS, SEAS AND
LAKES, ICE SHEET'S, UNDERGROUND
WATER AND WATER VAPOUR PRESENT IN
THE ATMOSPHERE.

ATMOSPHERE
THE LAYER OF THE AIR SURROUNDING
THE EARTH IS CALLED ATMOSPHERE.
COMPOSITION OF THE
ATMOSPHERE
(1) NITROGEN
(2) OXYGEN
(3) HYDROGEN, HELIUM AND OTHER
GASES
(4) CARBON DIOXIDE

BIOSPHERE
A NARROW BELT BETWEEN THE
LITHOSPHERE, THE HYDROSPHERE AND
THE ATMOSPHERE IN WHICH ALL FORMS
OF LIFE EXIST IS CALLED BIOSPHERE. IT
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REALMS OF
THE EARTH. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE
BIOSPHERE.
