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

Four segments of environment: Biosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere

Abiotic components: Air, Water, Soil, Energy, Radiation

Biotic components: Microbes, Plants, Animals

Primary pollutants: Directly released (e.g., CO, SO₂, NOₓ)
