Question

Which of these processes describes the effect Earth’s atmosphere has on Earth’s hydrosphere?

A: River overflowing and flooding farmland

B: Glaciers melting and increasing the ocean water levels

C: Warm, moist air increasing ocean temperatures

D: High winds uprooting trees and destroying the habitats of animals

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option C, Warm, moist air increasing ocean temperatures

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth’s atmosphere comprises of air masses while the hydrosphere comprises of water bodies.

When warm air (part of earth’s atmosphere) get in touch with the water in the ocean (part of earth’s hydrosphere), it transfers its excess heat thereby raising the temperature of ocean water.

Option A and B represents interaction of earth’s geosphere (land masses and its components) with the hydrosphere while option D represents the interaction of earth’s atmosphere with earth’s geosphere.

Hence, option C is correct
