Here are some 5 facts I find interesting

-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.

-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.

-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air

-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,

-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.

storchak [24]

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

In the pursuit of acquiring more fresh water, fog harvesting was introduced. It is a way to capture fog which is water vapor that is condensed but close to the surface. Fog has the tendency of reverting to water's liquid form when it comes into contact with objects.

Collecting water from fog involves using a net where the water will collect and fall due to gravity into a conduit such as a trough or gutter that will then take it to a storage tank.
