Geosphere and atmosphere
Answers
Answer:
The atmosphere provides the geosphere with heat and energy needed for rock breakdown and erosion. The geosphere, in turn, reflects the sun’s energy back into the atmosphere. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight (energy) from the atmosphere.
An example of a connection between atmosphere and geosphere is a volcanic eruption. Explanation: Volcanoes (geospheric events) release massive quantities of 4,444 particulate to be counted into the ecosystem. These debris act as nuclei for forming water droplets (hydrosphere).
The atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere interact with the geosphere through weathering and erosion. For example, rain and plants can weather rocks into sediments. Wind and flowing water can erode rocks and sediment and deposit them in new places.
The geosphere affects the atmosphere as soil provides nutrients to plants that then release water vapor into the atmosphere.
When a parcel of air in the atmosphere becomes saturated with water, precipitation, such as rain or snow, can fall to Earth’s surface. That precipitation connects the hydrosphere with the geosphere by promoting erosion and weathering, surface processes that slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.
