The answer is lithosphere.
Earthquakes are caused by shifts in the outer layers of Earth—a region called the lithosphere.
Earth is basically from matter, all the matter around the Universe came together to form Earth, the only way for Earth to grow much bigger is if there was an unlimited supply of matter, there isn't and therefore Earth cannot get much bigger than it is now.

The hydrologic cycle describes the continuous movement of water above, on, and below the surface of the Earth. The water on the Earth's surface--surface water--occurs as streams, lakes, and wetlands, as well as bays and oceans. Surface water also includes the solid forms of water-- snow and ice. The water below the surface of the Earth primarily is ground water, but it also includes soil water.
The hydrologic cycle commonly is portrayed by a very simplified diagram that shows only major transfers of water between continents and oceans, as in Figure 1. However, for understanding hydrologic processes and managing water resources, the hydrologic cycle needs to be viewed at a wide range of scales and as having a great deal of variability in time and space. Precipitation, which is the source of virtually all freshwater in the hydrologic cycle, falls nearly everywhere, but its distribution is highly variable. Similarly, evaporation and transpiration return water to the atmosphere nearly everywhere, but evaporation and transpiration rates vary considerably according to climatic conditions. As a result, much of the precipitation never reaches the oceans as surface and subsurface runoff before the water is returned to the atmosphere. The relative magnitudes of the individual components of the hydrologic cycle, such as evapotranspiration, may differ significantly even at small scales, as between an agricultural field and a nearby woodland.
hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere
Explanation:
Katie's experiment most likely represents the interactions between the hydrosphere, geosphere and biosphere. The hydrosphere is the part of the earth that holds water. Geosphere refers to the solid and rocky part of the earth. Biosphere is the domain of life on the earth.
- The water poured represents oceans in the basins of the world which is a part of the hydrosphere.
- The beach sand is the crust which contains the ocean water which is part of the crust.
- The toothpicks on the sand dunes which are the vegetation represents the biosphere.
