Interconnectedness of The Atmosphere to the Geosphere, Hydrosphere and Biosphere

**The Interconnectedness of The Atmosphere to the geosphere, hydrosphere, and the biosphere**

The atmosphere forms a blanket around the earth, it holds the clouds, gravity, the ozone layer and the gases that balances the life forms on Earth. There is a connection between the atmosphere and the Earth sphere’s in that; clouds that collect water from water forms that makes up the hydrosphere allows for rain. Without rain the hydrosphere would not exist, therefore each depends on each other to maintain the **Water Cycle.**

Hydrosphere refers to the mass of water above and below the Earth. Atmosphere is the blanket of air that surrounds the Earth. For example, rain (hydrosphere) falls from clouds in the atmosphere to the lithosphere and forms streams and rivers that provide drinking water for wildlife and humans as well as water for plant growth (biosphere) (Ace Brainly.in,2020). Due to this connectedness the biosphere depends on the atmosphere to contribute to the hydrosphere and allow for photosynthesis to occur and the exchange of gases for all plants and human benefits. The biosphere contributes to the life on Earth it establishes our variety and eccentric **ecosystems.** An ecosystem needs balance, water, sunlight and the movement of wind for their survival this simply means that without the atmosphere life on Earth would be limited; since the atmosphere acts as a blanket of air around the earth. That means that the atmosphere holds in the amount of heat needed to keep the earth livable. It also affects that amount of solar energy that reaches the earth and protects it from the sun's more harmful radiation (Everett Public Schools). The geosphere is connected to the atmosphere by allowing the natural occurences such as tsunami, earthquakes and hurricanes. This could be solely due to the movement of winds across the Earth, According to Unaacademy.com weathering, transportation, erosion and deposition of rock materials is not possible without the impact of the atmosphere. The heat energy from the sun is transferred to the geosphere as well as the atmosphere plays an important role in reflecting the heat evolved from this rock cycle back to the sun in outer space.

The atmosphere aids in precipitation, the balance of sunlight, and the natural phenomena.

A scenario adapted from the article Teachers Background

Volcano >> lithosphere >> atmosphere >> hydrosphere >> biosphere Volcanoes (an event in the lithosphere) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). Rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere). Particulate matter in the air (atmosphere) falls out, initially smothering plants (biosphere), but ultimately enriching the soil (lithosphere) and 4 thereby stimulating plant growth (biosphere).

Volcano >> lithosphere >> hydrosphere >> biosphere Volcanoes (events in the lithosphere) may release a substantial amount of hot lava (lithosphere), which causes mountain glaciers (hydrosphere) to melt. Mudflows (lithosphere) and flooding may occur downstream from volcanoes and may inundate streamside communities (biosphere).

Volcano >> lithosphere >> atmosphere >> biosphere >> lithosphere Volcanoes (events of the lithosphere) release a large amount of carbon dioxide (atmosphere), the raw material for sugar production in plants (biosphere). This may increase photosynthetic production and eventually increase the amount of biomass, which, after a very long time, forms coal and oil deposits (lithosphere).
