How does the hydrosphere interact with the lithosphere in the biophysical environment?
Answers
For example, rain (hydrosphere) falls from clouds in the atmosphere to the lithosphere and forms streams and rivers that provide drinking water for wildlife and humans as well as water for plant growth (biosphere). River action erodes banks (lithosphere) and uproots plants (biosphere) on the riverbanks.
Answer:
The biophysical Interaction model uses the interactions between the Atmosphere, Lithosphere, Hydrosphere and Biosphere to describe as ecosystem. When an ecosystem is described in this way, then an alteration (either human or natural) will alter the ecosystem.
Fir example
Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (lithosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere). Humans (biosphere) harness energy from the water (hydrosphere) by having it spin turbines (lithosphere) to produce electricity.
