Detailed explanation-1: -The hydrosphere is simply the total of all the water in Earth’s atmosphere. A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. The hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air. A planet’s hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrosphere. One of the main components of Earth’s interdependent physical systems is the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is the sum of Earth’s water, in the ocean, the ground, on the surface, and in the air. Approximately 71 percent of Earth’s surface is covered in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ocean holds about 97 percent of the Earth’s water; the remaining three percent is distributed in many different places, including glaciers and ice, below the ground, in rivers and lakes, and in the atmosphere. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are over 332, 519, 000 cubic miles of water on the planet.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hydrosphere is made up of all the water on Earth’s surface, from oceans and seas to lakes and rivers. Earth’s water came from the rocks that formed the earth and from the comets and asteroids that hit the earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -These five oceans are the Atlantic ocean, Pacific Ocean, Antarctic/Southern ocean, the Arctic ocean, and the Indian ocean. These five oceans together constitute approximately 71% of the world’s water bodies. They officially contribute to the majority of our hydrosphere.
