Step 1

The environment is composed of all living and non-living things. The term is often used to describe the planet or just a part of it. It is formed by the interactions of the sub-systems or spheres of the earth.

The earth's system is sub-divided into 4 other systems, namely the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. The interaction between them is needed for the stability of earth system.
