Question

PLASE ANSWER!!! 15 POINTS!!!! 

Take a walk outside and make observations. Describe one of each type of interaction between spheres that you observe. An example of the biosphere interacting with the geosphere is an animal burrow.

Answer 1

1. interaction between atmosphere and biosphere.

An example of this interaction would be the way in which plants give out carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen from the air. Plants are able to do so directly from the air through their stomata.

2. interaction between atmosphere and geosphere.

The atmosphere provides the geosphere with the energy necessary for the breakdown of rocks and erosion. The geosphere reflects the energy of the sun back to the atmosphere.

3. interaction between hydrosphere and atmosphere.

The water cycle is a good example of this interaction, as well as the weather phenomena that come from it (rain, snow, etc.)

4. interaction between hydrosphere and geosphere.

An example of such an interaction would be the erosion that is caused by water in rivers and waterfalls.

Answer 2

1. interaction between hydrosphere and geosphere

Dam water: Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam for electricity purpose, becoming ground water after passing through turbine (geosphere).

2. interaction between atmosphere and biosphere

In nitrogen cycle elemental N (atmosphere) is converted to compounds of nitrogen (biosphere) .

3. interaction between hydrosphere and atmosphere

Cloud (atmosphere) is a best example which is formed from water vapours created by lake water (hydrosphere) .

4. interaction between atmosphere and geosphere

The heat and energy (atmosphere) is provided to rocks (geosphere) which help in break down and erosion.
