Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT an example of an interaction between the hydrosphere andgeosphere?
A
Water drank by people
B
Erosion of soil after the typhoon
C
Landslide after heavy rains
D
Underground water stored in the soil.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correct answer: Plants (biosphere) draw water (hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil and release water vapor into the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The evaporation that occurs in the hydrosphere forms the medium for cloud and rain formation in the atmosphere. The atmosphere brings back this water to the hydrosphere in the form of rain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The four spheres interact. Another example of how the spheres affect each other is through erosion. Erosion happens in the desert when wind (atmosphere) shapes the sand in the geosphere. Water (hydrosphere) can also shape land, such as in the formation of the Grand Canyon.
