Question 11 • First Semester Biology

Which spheres of Earth are directly influenced when human-caused air pollution leads to acid rain that dissolves limestone rocks?

Answer
A
atmosphere, cryosphere, geosphere
B
cryosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere
C
geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere
D
biosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere

Explanation

Air pollution occurs in the atmosphere. Acid rain is water, so it affects the hydrosphere as it falls. When the acid rain dissolves limestone, it changes rocks in the geosphere. Thus the affected spheres are the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.
