A stream of surface water reaches a crack in the sediment and seeps into the ground. This water eventually joins a large reservoir of water located beneath the Earth's surface.

Question

What type of interaction does this example describe?
A.
the hydrosphere interacting with the geosphere
B.
the atmosphere interacting with the biosphere
C.
the biosphere interacting with the hydrosphere
D.
the geosphere interacting with the atmosphere

Answer 1

The example describes the hydrosphere interacting with the geosphere. The surface water (hydrosphere) is seeping into the sediment and joining a reservoir beneath the Earth's surface (geosphere).

So, the correct answer is:
A. the hydrosphere interacting with the geosphere
