Answer 1

atmosphere and hydrosphere is the answer.............

..

Answer 2

A - Atmosphere and hydrosphere are effective transporters of

matter.

Explanation:

• The atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere are the four basic environmental compartments or conceptual spheres in which chemicals are distributed on Earth.
• The atmosphere is best thought of as a transport compartment that transports compounds from atmospheric sources to receptors.
• It has a tiny storage capacity for matter compared to the other spheres, but it has enormous geographical redistribution capabilities.
• The hydrosphere can be divided into two sections: a conveyor (river system) collects chemicals in the watershed and transports them to the oceans, the second hydrologic compartment.
• Thus, the atmosphere and hydrosphere (rivers) are efficient matter conveyors.
