Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a volcano erupts adding Carbon Dioxide to the air the interaction is between the ____ and ____
A
biosphere and geosphere
B
hydrosphere and biosphere
C
geosphere and atmosphere
D
atmosphere and hydrosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Volcanoes (events of the geosphere) release a large amount of carbon dioxide (atmosphere), the raw material for sugar production in plants (biosphere).

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon storage and exchange For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -3. Atmosphere and Geosphere. The atmosphere provides the required heat and energy for the breakdown and erosion of rock in the geosphere. The geosphere, in turn, reflects the sun’s energy to the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The geosphere interacts with the biosphere by providing a living medium for the earth’s ecosystems to survive and thrive. For instance, it enables humans to build homes, bridges, cultivate the land, and modify their natural habitat in other ways to survive and sustain themselves.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
