Question

You live on the beach, which always seems to be humid, especially on hot, sunny days. But, that's because when the ocean heats up, some of its water evaporates into water vapor, making the air thick and slightly "wet." This interaction is an example of _____.

1. hydrosphere and atmosphere interaction
2. biosphere and lithosphere interaction
3. biosphere and hydrosphere interaction
4. lithosphere and atmosphere interaction

Answer 1

The correct answer is option 1, hydrosphere and atmosphere interaction

Step-by-step explanation:

The hydrosphere of Earth includes all water bodies while the atmosphere include the air parcels and air blanket around the earth. Any process that involves set of activities carried out in two spheres simultaneously/consecutively etc. is called an interaction. In this case water in the ocean (hydrosphere) gets heated up and is then send to the air which is a part of atmosphere thereby causing an interaction between the two spheres.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 1. hydrosphere and atmosphere interaction

That is because the ocean belongs to the hydrosphere while the air belongs to the atmosphere, and the process described is their interaction.
