Question

sample response: when there is less rainfall, land, which is part of the geosphere, becomes dry. when there is not enough water, plants will not get the nutrients they need from the soil and animals will not get enough water, and they will die. both plants and animals are part of the biosphere. less precipitation would also mean less water in lakes and groundwater, parts of the hydrosphere, and less evaporation. the atmosphere may also be affected due to less water vapor. which ideas did you include in your answer? check all that apply. droughts can cause the geosphere to be very dry. droughts can affect the survival of organisms in the biosphere. droughts can affect the amount of water in the hydrosphere. droughts can affect the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
