Question

When a volcano erupts, particles of rock and ash are released into the atmosphere. After this, water droplets form around the rock and ash particles and fall to Earth as rain. The rainwater helps plants grow.

In this scenario, which spheres of Earth interact?

biosphere, cryosphere, hemisphere
cryosphere, geosphere, biosphere
geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere
hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere

Answer 1

In the scenario described, the spheres of Earth that interact are:

**geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere**

- Geosphere: This includes the volcano, rock, and ash that are released during an eruption.
- Hydrosphere: This encompasses the water droplets that form and fall as rain.
- Biosphere: This includes the plants that benefit from the rainwater and grow as a result.

So the correct answer is **geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere**.
