What to Focus On
- Environment includes both biotic and abiotic components.
- Abiotic components are non-living factors like air, water, soil, and sunlight.
- Biotic components are living organisms such as plants, animals, and microbes.
- The four segments of environment are biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere.
- The biosphere supports life through a balance between biotic and abiotic components.
- The atmosphere protects life from harmful UV rays via the ozone layer.
- Vehicular emissions cause air pollution and acid rain.
- Pesticides like DDT are persistent and toxic to ecosystems.
- Industrial waste contains toxic metals harmful to life.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Acid rain is caused only by sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and not by nitrogen oxides.
CFCs directly heat up the atmosphere, causing global warming.
Pollution means any visible dirt or waste in the environment.
Memory Tips
