What is the hydrosphere's function?

• a recycling planet powered by the flow of solar energy to support a network of life.

• sustains various life forms and plays an important role in ecosystems and regulating heat on earth.

• sustains life forms on the surface of the earth, absorbs and interacts with harmful solar rays.It protects the earth from natural and human-caused space debris.

• controls the distribution of minerals, rocks and soils and generates natural hazards that shape the land and impact humans

How does the water cycle show how the hydrosphere and the atmosphere interact?

• Plants soak up water from the ground. 

• Air evaporates to form water clouds.

• Water filters through the soil into the ground water.

• Heat and wind causes water in the pond to evaporate into thin air.
