Question

question 5 of 10
which sphere in the earth system is also part of the hydrosphere?
a. cryosphere
b. geosphere
c. atmosphere
d. biosphere

Explanation:

The cryosphere consists of all the frozen water on Earth, such as ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice. Since it is made of water (in solid form), it is part of the hydrosphere (which includes all water on Earth, in liquid, solid, and gaseous states). The geosphere is the solid Earth (rocks, minerals, etc.), the atmosphere is the air around Earth, and the biosphere is the living organisms. None of these are primarily water like the cryosphere.

Answer:

A. Cryosphere
