Question

what system facilitates the movement of water between spheres through the process of transpiration?
a. geosphere
b. hydrosphere
c. atmosphere
d. biosphere

please select the best answer from the choices provided

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Transpiration is the process by which plants (part of the biosphere) release water vapor into the atmosphere. The biosphere includes all living organisms, and through transpiration, plants in the biosphere facilitate the movement of water from the hydrosphere (or soil, part of geosphere) into the atmosphere, thus moving water between spheres. The geosphere is the solid Earth, the hydrosphere is water bodies, and the atmosphere is the air layer; none of these perform transpiration.

Answer:

D. biosphere
