Answer:
The biosphere is influenced by other spheres and also influences other spheres.
Explanation:
The biosphere comes into contact with several other spheres such as the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere.
Contact with the atmosphere is a two way street since the biosphere can alter the composition of the atmosphere. However, many members of the biosphere like mammals and birds depend on the mix of gases in the atmosphere to survive, and weather is an important agent of change.
The lithosphere is another sphere that can impact the biosphere through geologic activity both underground and on the surface. The impact of the biosphere on the lithosphere can be observed through the altering and transformation of terrains and through biochemical weathering of rocks.
On Caribbean islands with mountains, the windward slopes facing the trade winds force air upward, causing rainfall. As a result, areas immediately to the leeward of the mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation. This is termed as the rain shadow. It is the dry area located at the lee side of the mountain. The air in the mountains that is being left with little to no moisture, moves behind the mountain and bringing back a drier side which is popularly called as the “rain shadow”.
Similar fossils were found on different continents.
The two tectonic plates meet at point one. One is moving under the other, shown by the two arrows on the top pointing towards each other. The denser plate (left side) is subducted. This means the denser plate begins to go under the less dense plate. The lithosphere (crust/tectonic plate) is mainly solid rock. As it begins to go into the mantle it will begin to heat up as the mantle is hotter than the surface. The solid surface becomes a molten rock, known as magma. It melts as it goes down.
