Hi,
Lithosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and Biosphere are part of the physical environment.
→ Lithosphere
The lithosphere is the outermost, solid surface layer of the Earth. It is also sometimes called the crust. The word lithosphere is derived from the Greek word lithos, which means 'stones'. The surface of the Earth is not flat. It is uneven with different kinds of landforms like mountains, hills, valleys and plateaus. The crust is covered by a thin layer of soil which is of vital importance for life.
--------------------------
→ Atmosphere
The layer of air that surrounds the Earth is called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a mixture of gases, dust and water vapour. The word atmosphere is derived from the Greek word atmos, which means 'vapour'. The gravitational force of the Earth holds the atmosphere around it.
---------------------------
→ Hydrosphere
Hydrosphere is derived from the Greek word hydor, meaning water. It refers to the water on the Earth. The Earth is called the Blue Planet because 71% of its surface is covered with water and only 29% with land. Water is found as solid ice in glaciers and ice sheet. It is found as liquid water in oceans, rivers etc.
--------------------------
→ Biosphere
The Biosphere is the narrow zone of contact between land, water and air, where life forms exist. It is called the living world or the biological environment. Everything in the biosphere is interconnected and independent.

Lithosphere ---------
The hard top layer of earth, made up of rock and minerals is called the lithosphere. It has uneven surface which is covered by a layer of soil. ''Lithos" comes from a greek word that means stones. It has many mineral deposits also. It has landforms such as mountains, plains, plateaus, valleys etc.These landforms of lithosphere is found over the continents and also on the ocean floors. Lithosphere is the domain that provides us with land for agriculture, human settelment etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hydrosphere ------------
The domain of water on Earth is referred as hydrosphere. The term hydra meaning is water. It comprises various source of water and also different water bodies such as lakes, rivers, seas, oceans etc. This domain of earth is very important for the survival of all living things on Earth. Water is used for various purposes such as agriculture, drinking etc. 70% of Earth consists of water i.e. hydrosphere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atmosphere------
The layer of air that surround the earth is called the atmosphere. The word atmos means vapour The gravitational force of earth holds it by its place. The atmosphere consists of many gases which are essential for survival. It also protects us from The UV rays from sun and also the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere helps maintain earth's temperature. Changes in weather takes place in the atmosphere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biosphere---------
The living world, all living organisms and all the three domains ( hydrosphere,lithosphere and atmosphere) make up the biosphere. It is a zone of contact between the air, water and land with makes like possible on earth.
