Components of the natural environment include ecological units, vegetation, microorganisms, soil, rocks, atmosphere, and natural phenomena. Earth science disciplines such as geography, geology, geophysics, and geodesy study the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, and pedosphere. Geological activity involves the Earth’s crust, mantle, plate tectonics, and volcanic activity. Water on Earth is primarily found in oceans, rivers, and seas. Climate and weather are influenced by atmospheric gases, greenhouse gases, the ozone layer, and various factors such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Weather forecasting uses science and technology to predict atmospheric conditions.
