1. MAJOR DOMAINS OF THE EARTH
MADE BY SAUMYA VISHWAKARMA

2. We know that our Earth is the only
planet that is known to support life
Earth is the planet we live on, and it's the third planet
from the sun. It's made up of land, water, and air, and it
orbits the sun.

3. WHAT ARE THE FOUR MAJOR
DOMAINS OF THE EARTH?
 The Four Domains of the Earth are:
• Lithosphere- The outermost part of the Earth which consists of
Upper Mantle and Crust of the Earth is known as Lithosphere.
Tectonic plates are a subdivision of Lithosphere.
• Hydrosphere- The hydrosphere includes water on earth in
Oceans, Seas, Rivers, Lakes and even in frozen forms.
• Atmosphere- The earth is surrounded by a layer of gas called
the atmosphere.
• Biosphere – The region of the earth where life can be found
including the soil, water and air.

4. WHAT IS LITHOSPHERE?
The lithosphere is the solid, outermost shell
of the Earth. The whole lithosphere (land part)
is broken into several plates. The blocks of
landmass are known as lithospheric plates or
tectonic plates. The lithosphere has seven
large plates and several small plates.

5. MT. EVEREST
Mount Everest, mountain on the
crest of the Great Himalayas of
southern Asia that lies on the border
between Nepal and the Tibet
Autonomous Region of China, at 27°59′
N 86°56′ E. Reaching an elevation of
29,032 feet (8,849 meters), Mount
Everest is the highest mountain in the
world.

6. MARINA TRENCH
Mariana Trench, deep-sea trench in the floor
of the western North Pacific Ocean, the deepest
such trench known on Earth, located mostly east
as well as south of the Mariana Islands. It is part
of the western Pacific system of oceanic trenches
coinciding with subduction zones—points where
two adjacent tectonic plates collide, one being
forced below the other. An arcing depression, the
Mariana Trench stretches for more than 1,580
miles (2,540 km) with a mean width of 43 miles
(69 km).

7. THE SEVEN MAJOR CONTINENTS…
Asia called the largest continent on Earth by area and number of
people. It is mainly in the northern hemisphere Asia is connected
to Europe in the west and Africa on the south . Sometimes Asia and
Europe are combined to form a larger continent Eurasia . Some of
the oldest human civilization began in Asia. Asia is separated from
Europe by the Ural mountains.
Europe is a continent in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres. It's
bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the
west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and Asia to the east.
Africa is the world's second-largest continent, after Asia. It's home
to many countries, including Nigeria, South Africa, and
Kenya. Africa is known for its natural resources, including water, oil,
minerals, and wildlife. This is the only continent through which the
Tropic of cancer, the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn passes
World’s largest desert the Sahara desert is located in Africa and the
world’s longest river Nile flows through Africa.
North America is a continent in the Western and Northern
Hemispheres. It's bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the
Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west and south,
and South America and the Caribbean Sea to the southeast.

8. South America is a continent[g]
entirely in the Western Hemisphere[h]
and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller
portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It can also be described as the
southern subregion of the Americas.
South America is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the
north and east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the south by the
Drake Passage; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the
northwest.
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country
comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of
Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. Australia has a total area of
7,688,287 km2
(2,968,464 sq mi), making it the sixth largest country in
the world and the largest in Oceania. It is the world's
oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with some of the least
fertile soils. It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide
variety of landscapes and climates including deserts in the interior and
tropical rainforests along the coast.
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost and least-populated continent.
Situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and surrounded by
the Southern Ocean (also known as the Antarctic Ocean), it contains the
geographic South Pole. Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent, being
about 40% larger than Europe, and has an area of
14,200,000 km2
(5,500,000 sq mi). Most of Antarctica is covered by the
Antarctic ice sheet, with an average thickness of 1.9 km (1.2 mi).

10. WHAT IS HYDROSPHERE
 A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. The
hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the
planet, underground, and in the air. A planet's hydrosphere
can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, liquid water exists on
the surface in the form of oceans, lakes, and rivers.

11. OCEAN
 ocean is the body of salt water that covers approximately
70.8% of Earth the term ocean also refers to any of the large
bodies of water into which the world ocean is conventionally
divided. The following names describe five different areas of
the ocean: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic/Southern, and
Arctic. The ocean contains 97% of Earth's water And is the
primary component of Earth's hydrosphere and is thereby
essential to life on Earth. The ocean influences climate and
weather patterns, the carbon cycle, and the water cycle by
acting as a huge heat reservoir.

12. WHAT IS ATMOSPHERE
One of the main components of Earth’s
interdependent physical systems is the
atmosphere. An atmosphere is made of the
layers of gases surrounding a planet or other
celestial body. Earth’s atmosphere is
composed of about 78% nitrogen, 21%
oxygen, and one percent other gases. These
gases are found in atmospheric layers
(troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere,
thermosphere, and exosphere) defined by
unique features such as temperature and
pressure. The atmosphere protects life on
earth by shielding it from incoming ultraviolet
(UV) radiation, keeping the planet warm
through insulation, and preventing extremes
between day and night temperatures. The sun
heats layers of the atmosphere causing it to
convict driving air movement and weather
patterns around the world.

14. WHAT IS BIOSPHERE
 The biosphere is the part of Earth that supports life,
including all living organisms, their habitats, and the
remains of organisms that have died. It's also known as the
ecosphere.
