Abiotic factors refer to non-living physical and chemical elements in the ecosystem. Abiotic resources are usually obtained from the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Examples of abiotic factors are water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem.
Is the lithosphere biotic?
Out of the four spheres, lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere are abiotic spheres. The biotic sphere is the biosphere. Together, these spheres constitute the planet Earth. Land, i.e. the solid outer layer on which we live, is called Lithosphere--it consisting of Rocks and Soils.
