Question

identifying sphere interactions
read about a process that helps shape earths surface. water on earths surface seeps into rocks. when water in the cracks freezes, it expands and breaks the rocks apart. this process is called frost wedging. which spheres interact when this process occurs?
○ atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere
○ hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere
○ biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere
○ cryosphere, atmosphere, geosphere

Explanation:

1. Hydrosphere: Refers to Earth's surface water involved in the process.
2. Cryosphere: Refers to the frozen water (ice) when the water freezes.
3. Geosphere: Refers to the rocks that are broken apart.

The other options include spheres not involved in frost wedging (atmosphere, biosphere).

Answer:

hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere
