Question 4 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Environmental Science S1

Which of the following is a function of the geosphere?

Answer
A
facilitating the movement of water through spheres through transpiration
B
providing a moderate, livable climate
C
facilitating the process of photosynthesis
D
serving as the interface between the other spheres

Explanation

The geosphere is Earth’s solid parts, including rocks, soil, and land. These provide a surface and boundary where the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere interact, so the geosphere serves as an interface between the other spheres. Transpiration and photosynthesis are biological processes, while climate is mainly associated with the atmosphere.
