Select two correct answers. The density of the rocks in the geosphere is much less than the density of the water in the hydrosphere. They interact when heavy rains cause landslides and flooding. They do not interact since the geosphere’s layers are underground. Water can only be found in the hydrosphere. The geosphere includes rocks and minerals while the hydrosphere contains ice and water vapor.
