INTRODUCTIONScience is a Latin word taken from the term “scientia”. It refers to a proper assembling ofinformation associated to visible world. Environmental science is a combine study of elementsand processes of world which are natural and some modified by human activity (Lehmann andJoseph, 2015). The surroundings are effected by the changes made by people which effects theenvironment. It is a combination of different sciences that includes zoology, limnology physicallayout etc. The following report will talk about different components of environment in detailthat will help in understanding the emergences of each and their properties in detail. TASK1.1 Explain the geological and historical emergence of oceansIt is not necessary that oceans are only a place which is covered with water. The land areais geographically different in comparison to the continents. The total land area covered by oceansis almost 71% and has 97% of water. The basis of oceans can be understood by studding the timeperiod of six billion years ago. It was the duration when distinct tiny objects joined together andmade planet as whole which was referred as planetesimals. 1.2 Describe Earth components and processes which contributed to ocean formationEarth is a huge concept that consist range of constituents such as the gases, water, ice,living and non-living things. Explanation of each is given below:Atmosphere – It is in a form of gas which covers the earth. Through the process ofevaporation, it receives water which is further converted into moisture and is spread around theland area. Warmth is created by atmosphere as it holds the energy from solar radiation.Geosphere – this is another component of earth which includes rock and minerals.Nutrients are made available through the making of soil layers by this component.Biosphere - –It covers every single living life form and it is directly connected to the nextthree domains: maximum alive creatures need air from the environment, H2O from thehydrosphere and supplements and reserves from the geosphere. Active creatures additionallywant a mode throughout their existence, and are adjusted to occupy at least one of the other threespheres discussed above (Percival and et.al., 2017). Be that as it may, a significant part of thebiosphere is contained inside a light exterior coating incorporating the minor portion of theenvironment, the external layer of geosphere and roughly the higher hundred meters of the sea.3
