Hydrosphere

• Feature on the surface of Earth such as a mountain, hill, dune, ocean, or river

• All of the water in the air, oceans, rivers, lakes, icecaps, soil, rocks, and organisms of Earth

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

• Plants soak up water from the ground.
