2. Environment
•They constantly interact with it
and adapt themselves to
conditions in their environment.
•It is combination of various
physical and biological elements
that affect the life of organisms.
•It is the place where different
things are such as a swampy and
hot environment. It can be living
and non-living things. It include
physical, chemical and other
natural forces, living things live in
their environment.

3. Component of Environment
Component
Physical
Atmosphere
Hydrosphere
Lithosphere
Biological
Biotic
Abiotic
cultural
Social
Economical
Political

4. Physical Components
The physical components of environment include soil, water, air,
climate, temperature, light etc.
Physical components of the environment again divided into three
parts.
• Atmosphere
Air
• Hydrosphere
Water
• Lithosphere
Solid

5. Atmosphere
o A layer of gases
o Surrounding a planet
o Other material body of sufficient mass
o That is held in place by the gravity of the body

6. Hydrosphere
Its includes the surface water and its
surrounding interface.

7. Lithosphere
• It’s the outer boundary layer of solid earth
and the discontinuity within the mantle.
• Basically lithosphere is nothing but a crustal
system composed of various layers: Core,
mantle and outer crust.

8. Biological Components
• There are two kind of biological components.
Biological
Abiotic
Biotic

9. Abiotic Components
• Non-living physical and chemical factors in the
environments. Abiotic phenomena underlie all
of biology. Abiotic factors, while generally
downplayed. Can have enormous impact on
evolution. Abiotic components are aspect of
geo diversity. They can also be recognized as
“abiotic pathogens”
E.g. Temperature, light, sun light, pH, soil
components, etc.

10. Biotic Components
• This component consists of all living things
like plants, animal and small micro-organisms
like bacteria.
• All ecosystems consists of three different
types of living organisms.
Biotic
Components
Producer
Consumer
Decomposer

11. Cultural Component
• The cultural environment gives an idea of
learned behavioral traits those are clear and
shared by members of society.
• The most important things about the cultural
environment is that it cannot be physically
represented, but it is there anyway.

12. Environment Engineer
• It is someone who
uses the principle of
engineering, soil
science, biology and
chemistry to develop
solution to
environment problem.

13. Duties of Environment Engineer
1. Prepare, review and update environment investigation report.
2. Design project that leads to environmental protection such as
water reclamation facilities or air pollution control systems.
3. Obtain, update and maintain plans, permits and standard
operation procedure.
4. Provide technical support for environmental remediation
project and for legal action.
5. Analyze scientific data and do quality checks.
6. Monitor the progress of environmental improvement programs
in order to ensure compliance with environmental regulation.
7. Advice corporations and government agencies about
procedures for cleaning up contaminated sites.
