Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. On Earth, liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water is found in oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams, and is stored underground as groundwater. Some amount is trapped in ice. Water also exists in the atmosphere in the form of water vapour. All the water that exists on Earth is known as Hydrosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes where water is stored on Earth and how it moves. Water is stored in the atmosphere, on the land surface, and below the ground.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
