In what way do the geosphere and hydrosphere connect? Water provides the moisture and medium for weathering and erosion of rocks in the geosphere. The geosphere, in turn, provides the platform for ice melts and water bodies to flow back into the oceans.
The atmosphere provides the geosphere with heat and energy needed for rock breakdown and erosion. The geosphere, in turn, reflects the sun’s energy back into the atmosphere.
The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight (energy) from the atmosphere. It receives water from the hydrosphere and a living medium from the geosphere.
