Introduction:

The Earth is made up of four spheres known as lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. All these spheres are interdependent and affect each other.

Human beings are a component of the biosphere. Therefore, any anthropogenic activity directly or indirectly affects the other spheres of the Earth. Hence, we must take steps to ensure that the environment is not affected by our activities.
