what does the hydrosphere not include?
oceans
lakes
rivers
glaciers

Explanation:

• Question 1: Earth's major spheres are atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. The ionosphere is a part of the atmosphere and not a major sphere on its own.
• Question 2: The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system and polar ice is part of it. When polar ice melts into the ocean (which is part of the hydrosphere), the cryosphere and hydrosphere interact.
• Question 3: The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth's surface such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Glaciers are part of the cryosphere, not the hydrosphere.

Answer:

Question 1: ionosphere
Question 2: cryosphere and hydrosphere
Question 3: glaciers
