2. Up to how many kms from the earth's surface does the atmosphere extends?
3. What are the parts with large reservoirs in hydrosphere called ?
4. Which gas absorbs the ultraviolet rays of the Sun ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lithosphere (or the Earth's crust) is a collective name for the 1% of the planet layer made of rocks, minerals and other components. The thickness of the lithosphere greatly varies from 0 to 100 kilometers.

Earth's atmosphere stretches from the surface of the planet up to as far as 10,000 kilometers (6,214 miles) above.

These water storage areas are most commonly known as reservoirs. Natural reservoirs include oceans, glaciers and other bodies of ice, groundwater, lakes, soil moisture, wetlands, living organisms, the atmosphere, and rivers. Collectively, all water storage areas make up the hydrosphere.

The ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
