Question

How would local residents of a place be affected by changes in the hydrosphere? (please help!!)

Answer 1

The hydrosphere is needed to support human existence. It provides drinking water, water for agricultural purposes, and food and nutrients from fish and plants.
Without hydrosphere the atmosphere will no longer be able to carry up the evaporated water, as well as pour down the water, leaving the biosphere to die.
It will affect all organisms because they won’t be able to survive with water.

— hope it helps!! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Humans have impacted the hydrosphere drastically and will only continue to due so based on population needs. Global climate change, water pollution, damming of rivers, wetland drainage, reduction in stream flow, and irrigation have all exerted pressure on the hydrosphere's existing freshwater systems.

Hope it helps :)
