Answer:
The water that is present on Earth in oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs is known as the hydrosphere.
Explanation:
- The entire amount of water on a planet is known as the hydrosphere. Water that is present on the planet's surface, beneath, and in the atmosphere all belong to the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere of a planet can exist as liquid, vapour, or ice. Oceans, lakes, and rivers are the surface forms of liquid water on Earth. In wells and aquifers, it can also be found underground as groundwater. As clouds and fog, water vapour is most easily seen. Ice makes up glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs, which make up the frozen portion of the Earth's hydrosphere. The cryosphere is the name given to the portion of the hydrosphere that is frozen. Within the hydrosphere, water circulates in a cycle. Clouds contain water that eventually falls to Earth as rain or snow.
- Rivers, lakes, and seas are where this water gathers. After that, it evaporates into the atmosphere to restart the cycle. The water cycle refers to this.
- The water that is present on Earth in oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs is known as the hydrosphere. Approximately 71% of the surface of the Earth is covered by water, 96.5 percent of which is in the ocean.
