Question 16 • TX-Earth Systems A

A volcanic eruption releasing rock, ash, and dust particles into the air is an example of which interaction?

Answer
A
the biosphere interacting with the geosphere
B
the geosphere interacting with the atmosphere
C
the geosphere interacting with the hydrosphere
D
the hydrosphere interacting with the atmosphere

Explanation

A volcanic eruption releases rock, ash, and dust from the solid Earth, which is part of the geosphere, into the air, which is part of the atmosphere. Therefore, it is the geosphere interacting with the atmosphere. The hydrosphere refers to Earth's water, so choices involving it do not fit.
