What is the name of classification of water, air and soil?

Question

The definition of living organisms is all types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth, development and homeostasis. Non-living organisms are inanimate and have stopped displaying capabilities for growth, reproduction, respiration, metabolism and movement. So what do you call air, water, and soil. plus I am writing an assignment about environment protection. So I am talking about how certain chemical affects the air, water(sea, and river) and soil. So how do I classify this three thing, making them be very specific, other than non-living things, as this group is too broad.

Answer 1

When discussing the growth and health of crops or forests -- and the animals that depend on them -- elements such as air, water, and the mineral content of soils are referred to as "abiotic factors". Air (or "atmosphere") has characteristics such as temperature, humidity, and the concentration of various gasses. Water might refer to that which falls from the sky (i.e. "precipitation" such as rain, snow, or hail), or you may be referring to bodies of water. An ecosystem in the ocean or sea is called "marine"; likewise the adjective for a freshwater environment could be "lacustrine" (of a lake). These also have crucial characteristics, such as temperature, salinity, and pH. Soil is a little different because it refers to the combination of nonliving and living things in the matrix that plants drive their roots into. A body of soil is characterized both by its inorganic content (how much clay, etc.) and its microbiota. I'm not sure whether this answers your question.
