Spheres of Earth

Question 11 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 1

Which example best explains the interaction of Earth’s spheres when acid rain affects trees?

Answer
A
The geosphere is interacting with the hydrosphere.
B
The atmosphere is interacting with the hydrosphere.
C
The biosphere is interacting with the hydrosphere and the cryosphere.
D
The atmosphere is interacting with the hydrosphere and the biosphere.

Explanation

Acid rain forms when pollutants in the atmosphere mix with water in the air, and it then falls as rain. When that acidic water affects trees, it interacts with the biosphere. So the example involves the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere; the correct choice is “The atmosphere is interacting with the hydrosphere and the biosphere.”
