Answer:

This question is incomplete, the question is asking to match each activity with the sphere to which it adds carbon or CO2.

ANSWERS:

Geosphere = burying organisms

hydrosphere = respiration of marine life

biosphere = photosynthesis atmosphere = burning things

Step-by-step explanation:

This question describes the types of spheres we have. The respective activities that occur in each sphere that adds CO2 or carbon are as follows:

- Geosphere: This refers to the solid part of the Earth. Dead organisms are buried in the geosphere (soil) where their carbon remains can be deposited.

- Hydrosphere: This constitutes all of the water bodies (sea, river, stream, ocean) on the Earth. When marine organisms respire in water, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released.

- Biosphere: A sphere consisting of all living things (plant, animal, microbes etc.) on Earth. Plants as a living organisms photosynthesize and make use of carbon dioxide to produce glucose, which stores in the plant.

Atmosphere: The gaseous component of the Earth. Burning substances release carbon based gases into the atmosphere.
