Bears dig big holes in the ground to protect their young.

Detailed explanation-1: -In this context, there is an interaction between two spheres: the biosphere and the geosphere, when a bear digs holes in the ground because a living organism that is part of the biosphere is modifying the structure and shape of superficial soil, which is part of the geosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -All the spheres interact with other spheres. For example, rain (hydrosphere) falls from clouds in the atmosphere to the lithosphere and forms streams and rivers that provide drinking water for wildlife and humans as well as water for plant growth (biosphere).
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants (atmosphere) draw water (hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil and release water vapor into the atmosphere. Correct answer: Plants (biosphere) draw water (hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil and release water vapor into the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement describes an interaction between the biosphere and the atmosphere that is related to photosynthesis? During photosynthesis, plant roots take in water from soil. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air.
Detailed explanation-5: -That precipitation connects the hydrosphere with the geosphere by promoting erosion and weathering, surface processes that slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.
