How do the hydrosphere, lithosphere, and atmosphere individually affect the biosphere?
Try not to think of those terms as items, but more as categories that encompass different aspects of the earth. Now, about how those categories affect the biosphere. The hydrosphere, the sphere of influence that deals with water in its various forms (some separate out ice and call that the cryosphere), provides the biosphere with a much needed component….water. Life would not exist as we know it without water. It places in important role for all organisms, alongside playing an important role in various earth processes. The lithosphere deals with the earth itself, or land. Land provides a safe-haven for many organisms, both marine and land-dwelling. It plays an active role in plant development, and in our case, food development through agriculture. The atmosphere is air. We need air to breath. The atmosphere also plays an important role in solar radiation protection and climate, both important to the biosphere. All four spheres interact with each other in a multitude of different ways
