Large bodies of water such as oceans, seas, and large lakes affect the climate of an area. Water heats and cools more slowly than land. Therefore, in the summer, the coastal regions will stay cooler and in winter warmer. A more moderate climate with a smaller temperature range is created.

A major concern about increasing global temperatures is that a large portion of polar ice could detach and melt into the ocean.

Andrews [41]

If the large portion of polar ice detached and melted into the ocean due to increasing global temperatures, the two spheres that would interact would be the cryosphere and hydrosphere. All of the choices would interact but the most closely related to melting would be the hydrosphere and it would affect ocean current circulation patterns and sea level.
