Medal & Fan (Plz check my answer) Which of the following correctly describes a way in which Earth's atmosphere interacts with the hydrosphere? (2 points) Living organisms breathe gases in the atmosphere. Water moves between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Gases in the atmosphere trap incoming solar radiation. Carbon cycles between sediment on Earth and the atmosphere.

@AloneS Can one of you plz help me understand? :)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

B. Hydrosphere involves water

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

Well I know the hydrosphere involves water, that doesn't really explain why that would be the best answer.

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Well for one, it is the only answer choice that mentions water....

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

D also mentions water, sediment is matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid; dregs. And the Carbon Cycle includes the hydrosphere. "The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth." @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Good point...Are there more than one correct answer? (it is a 2 point queston)

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

Nope, only 1 answer XD sadly...

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Hmm....I would go with B since it more directly addressed water. Sediment \(\neq\)water, though your point about carbon does relate a bit

OpenStudy (nevillesnetwork):

Ok, thanks! Im going to double check anyways but Im sure your right.
