Back

The Biosphere is the part of Earth that supports life, including all living organisms and their environments.

Front

How do the Hydrosphere and Geosphere interact?

Back

Water from the Hydrosphere shapes the Geosphere through erosion, sediment deposition, and weathering.

Front

What is an example of a connection between the Atmosphere and Hydrosphere?

Back

Rain is an example of how the Atmosphere and Hydrosphere interact.

Front

Front

What is an example of the Geosphere affecting the Hydrosphere?

Back

Mountains can block rain, affecting river flow and water availability in nearby areas.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water between the Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, and Geosphere through processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
