Lile would not be possible on Earth without the water that covers much of its surface, and the air that surrounds it. Earth's wa
ter and air affect each other in many ways. Which of the following situations represents an Interaction between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere?
volcanoes erupting
underwater earthquakes
O greenhouse gases forming
evaporation from lakes and rivers
The water cycle is a natural cycle that shows how water moves and circulates within a natural environment. Water usually moves between the hydrosphere and the atmosphere through evaporation and condensation.
When water evaporates from the hydrosphere (the water bodies), it goes up into the atmosphere where it cools to become clouds. As more water evaporates, the clouds formed increase in mass. Once the clouds are too heavy to be held up in the sky, they fall down as precipitation (rain, snow, hail) into the water bodies and surrounding land below.
