The environment comprises both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components:
1. **Abiotic Components:** These include the atmosphere (gases surrounding Earth), hydrosphere (water bodies), lithosphere (solid surface), geomorphology (landforms), and climate (long-term weather patterns).
2. **Biotic Components:** These encompass flora (plants), fauna (animals), microorganisms, and human influence (human activities).
These components interact to create a dynamic system that shapes ecosystems and influences life on Earth. Understanding these elements is crucial for effective environmental management and conservation.
