Question

Which of these is a process during which the hydrosphere interacts with the geosphere?

solidification of water into ice
absorption of rainwater by soil
evaporation of rainwater from puddles
condensation of water vapor into water

Answer 1

B. Absorption of rainwater by soil.

Answer 2

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When rainfall occurs, the water either undergoes surface runoff or it percolates deep down into the rocks through the interconnected pore spaces.

The soil plays an important role in the water cycle as it has the ability to store water in them, which is later provided to the plant body through its roots. So, some of the excess water in plants is released into the atmosphere by the process of transpiration and some of the water is percolated through the pore spaces in the rocks and mixes up with the groundwater.

Thus, this is a process that includes the interaction between the geosphere and the hydrosphere.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
