Question

name the earth system that contains water in the solid form.
a. cryosphere
b. biosphere
c. geosphere
d. hydrosphere

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Cryosphere is the part of the Earth's system that includes water in solid form (like ice, snow, glaciers).
• Option b: Biosphere is the zone of life on Earth, not focused on solid water.
• Option c: Geosphere refers to the solid parts of the Earth (rocks, minerals), not specifically water in solid form.
• Option d: Hydrosphere includes all water on Earth, but not just solid form (it includes liquid and gaseous water too).

So the correct option is a as Cryosphere is defined by water in solid form.

Answer:

a. Cryosphere
