Answer:
The lithosphere is a domain concerning land. When land is measured, it is measured by taking sea level as it’s base. The height of the land is also measured by denoting it as either ASL (Above Sea Level) or BSL (Below Sea Level).
Hydrosphere is a domain that contains water or water bodies. If we take the earth into consideration. Only 1/4th (29%) of the earth is covered in soil/land while the rest 3/4th (71%) portion is covered in water. 97% of the earth’s water is found in oceans and is not suitable for use as it is saltwater.
The Atmosphere is a domain that consists of layers which are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere as well as the exosphere. Lifeform sustains on troposphere which is the first layer of the atmosphere. The density of Atmosphere is maximum at sea level and decreases with increasing height. The atmosphere consists of 78% Nitrogen, 21% oxygen and other gases like Argon, Carbon dioxide as well as some other gases comprise 1% of the volume.
