What is the relationship between the Cryosphere and the Hydrosphere?

Back

The Cryosphere (ice) and Hydrosphere (liquid water) interact; changes in one can affect the other.

Front

What is an example of a component of the Geosphere?

Back

Examples include rocks, soil, and minerals.

Front

What is the significance of the Biosphere?
