Jeffery used a stream table as a model to show how water erodes soil. As he sprayed water on the stream table, some of the soil was carried to the end of the table.

Question

Jeffery used his stream table to model an interaction between which two spheres?
A.
geosphere and hydrosphere
B.
biosphere and atmosphere
C.
geosphere and biosphere
D.
hydrosphere and atmosphere

Answer 1

Jeffery used his stream table to model an interaction between the geosphere and the hydrosphere. The geosphere refers to the solid Earth, including soil and rock, while the hydrosphere refers to all water in various forms. In this case, water is eroding soil, demonstrating the interaction between these two spheres.

Therefore, the correct answer is: A. geosphere and hydrosphere.
