Hydrosphere and lithosphere

Detailed explanation-1: -The atmosphere and the hydrosphere (rivers) are effective conveyors of matter.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lithosphere is the Earth’s outermost layer and is made up of the crust and the mantle. The lithosphere is broken into several large tectonic plates that move around on the Earth’s surface. The hydrosphere is made up of all the water on Earth, including salt water and fresh water.
Detailed explanation-3: -For instance, the pedosphere is part of the lithosphere made of soil and dirt. The pedosphere is created by the interaction of the lithosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -The basic components of the environment are atmosphere or the air, lithosphere or the rocks and soil, hydrosphere or the water, and the living component of the environment or the biosphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -These four subsystems are called “spheres.” Specifically, they are the “lithosphere” (land), “hydrosphere” (water), “biosphere” (living things), and “atmosphere” (air). Each of these four spheres can be further divided into sub-spheres.
