A canyon is formed when rocky ground is eroded by a river is an example of
A
the atmosphere interacting with the biosphere.
B
the biosphere interacting with the hydrosphere.
C
the geosphere interacting with the biosphere.
D
the hydrosphere interacting with the geosphere.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a parcel of air in the atmosphere becomes saturated with water, precipitation, such as rain or snow, can fall to Earth’s surface. That precipitation connects the hydrosphere with the geosphere by promoting erosion and weathering, surface processes that slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hydrosphere includes water storage areas such as oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Answer and Explanation: The hydrosphere interacts with the geosphere when bodies of water or rain cause land formations to erode. Rivers and rainstorms break down rocks into small particles and form new rock patterns as well. The hydrosphere releases snow and ice that make the geosphere hard and cold.
