Answer:

Water from rivers erodes the banks, the ice breaks up rocks, intense rainfall causes mass wasting, water from rainfall flows as runoff and creates ripples.

Explanation:

Earth has several spheres, all of which have their own unique characteristics that define them as such. Despite all of them being very different from each other, they can not exist in the form they are if there is no interaction with the other spheres, thus all of the spheres are interconnected and they depend on one another.

Two of those hydrospheres are the hydrosphere and geosphere, and they interact in many different ways. When there is rainfall, the water that ends on land flows as runoff until it reaches a water body, and while it does so it manages to create ripples in the ground. If there is intense rainfall in an area where there is steep and unstable terrain, it can easily cause mass wasting by oversaturating the soil with water. The water that flows in the rivers with its power is constantly eroding the banks. If water freezes and turns to ice because its volume becomes greater, it is able to break up rocks with the pressure it creates on them.

stars circle daily around north or south celestial pole

Positions of nearby stars shift slightly back and forth each year.

A distance galaxy rises in east, sets in west each day.

We sometimes see a crescent Jupiter.

Explanation:

Mercury it can seen from the Earth but no it phases.

Moon is seen in all parts of the Earth, the only difference is that in north pole the stars moves parallel to the horizon.

By the rotation of Earth the relative position of stars changes a little bit.

In the north pole a galaxy can be observed and in the south pole 2 galaxies.

Jupiter is one of the planets that can be seen from Earth in some seasons and it changes the position due to the rotation of planets around the sun.

A planet beyond Saturn is not possible to be observed from Earth just with the naked eye.
