A. There are six spheres of Earth: biosphere, cryosphere, anthrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Each is a part of the Earth system. The hydrosphere is the water on Earth. Water is found in three states on Earth: liquid, ice (solid) and water vapor (gas). Water moves through these phases in the water cycle, which is powered by the sun. Water is necessary for all living things on Earth. For animals, water is used to carry out processes in the body. Some animals live in water. Plants use water to transport nutrients. Water can cause weathering, a wearing away of the surface of the Earth. Moving water, such as a river, tears away pieces of soil and rock and cuts through the land. Freezing and thawing inside rocks can cause… [cont.]

A. Lithosphere The lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering entire planet. This crust is inorganic and is composed of minerals. It covers the entire surface of the earth from the top of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Hydrosphere The hydrosphere is composed of all of the water on or near the earth. This includes the oceans, rivers, lakes, and even the moisture in the air. Ninety-seven percent of the earth's water is in the oceans. The remaining three percent is fresh water; three-quarters of the fresh water is solid and exists in ice sheets Biosphere The biosphere is composed of all living organisms. Plants, animals, and one-celled organisms are all part of the biosphere. Most of the planet's life is found from… [cont.]

A. If human activity results in pollution of land surfaces, seepage into the underlying soils damages the health of both land and water. The health of the hydrosphere is directly affected by how much water drains from land surfaces into rivers and large bodies of water. The soil through which rain flows acts as a filter, cleaning the water as it flows into rivers and streams. If large amounts of pollutants are present in the soils through which rain flows, the water itself becomes contaminated and life in the rivers and streams becomes stressed. If stressed enough the life forms die. Lake Superior would be a good case study for how this can occur. Fortunately, the case of Lake Superior also illustrates how the health of the hydrosphere… [cont.]

Asked by jerjer09 - Fri Sep 5 01:35:03 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You will need to do some reading for this - I suggest you start with the definitions and then go on to some of the many sites dealing with this. You can think about how the climate (atmosphere) affects weathering and erosion of rocks (Lithosphere) - volcanoes affect the atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere in different ways. The lithosphere - geology - influences the biosphere because it dictates the types and fertility of the soils. Similarly the weather influences what can grow and consequently the whole biome. Birds fly through the atmosphere, fish swim in the sea, people dig in the ground to grow crops - all these are interactions. Just a few examples. Do a search on lithosphere + atmosphere +hydrosphere + biosphere + interactions.

Asked by Elise - Wed Nov 5 21:26:20 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The hydrosphere is the liquid water on Earth. The sun heats the water, causing it to evaporate and to fall to the Earth at some time later as rain or snow. WHen the water is heated quickly, and the heat of the sun on the atmosphere causes strong winds, this can cause storms (hurricanes, typhoons, etc.). The sun also raises tides in the oceans (and to a smaller extent the solid Earth). The only effect the moon has on the hydrosphere is through the tides.

A. If more CO2 is produced more CO2 will be solved in water - namely the sea - and it may well become too acid for many lifeforms with carbonite shells. Water at the ground of oceans is temperatured 4 deg C. If global warming continues, the temperature even at the deeper parts of the sea may rise with yet unknown consequences. Most likely the global streaming of sea water will be disturbed. If global warming continues, the premanent ice in Greenland, Siberia and northern Canada may melt and flood the northen Atlantic with sweet water. Most likely this will destroy the northern "pump" of the Gulf stream with severe consequences for Europe, Africa and Northern America.

A. Hot springs are created when groundwater is heated by the surrounding rocks,particularly in volcanic areas such as Iceland,Rotorua in New Zealand and Yellowstone park.Geysers are fountains of boiling water that erupt.Steams and gas emerge sometimes through the vents of the volcanoes and these vents are called'fumeroles'.Thus water, in the form of gas(steam) or hot water are ejected out by the volcanoes affecting the hydrosphere,though on a small scale.

A. Hydro: Helps in the hydrological cycle of evaporation, condensation & precipitation. This results in a much more even distribution of water over the world. Atmo: Helps in the rising of air masses and air parcels. Also Contributes to the movement of warm air particles from equator to the poles through more intensive heating at the equators. Litho: I dunno... But it sure doesn't help move the plates, nor does it helps volcano eruptions... Bio: Keeps animals and plants from dying of cold, form of energy that provides food for plants and eventually the whole of the food chain, provide light for animals to see, etc etc... even photography and film relys on it, so go figure...

Asked by maria - Fri Sep 11 10:11:21 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In the big picture (geological time scale) Mt St Helens didn't have a big effect on any of these. But don't tell that to the people near the eruption!!! Not much effect on the lithosphere. Locally there would have been a reduction in gas and magma volume, pressure and temperature. A large amount of ash was released. Ash and debris flows (lahars) blocked rivers and changed drainage. The Colombia River had to be dredged. The ash was carried east for hundreds of miles and disrupted life for a short time.

A. courtesy of wikipedia.org Biosphere-The place on earth's surface where life dwells. Atmosphere-Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earth's gravity. It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. This mixture of gases is commonly known as air. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation and reducing temperature extremes between day and night. A hydrosphere (Greek hydro means "water") in physical geography describes the collective mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet.
