GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrosphere and Atmosphere 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-2: -Below are a few examples: •Humans (biosphere) built a dam out of rock materials (lithosphere). Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (lithosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere).

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, water in the hydrosphere can evaporate to become part of the atmosphere. Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater-part of the geosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -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). River action erodes banks (lithosphere) and uproots plants (biosphere) on the riverbanks.
