Which of these statements best describes an interaction between the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere? A. Strong winds blow over a lake and create ripples. B. A river flows downhill at a very high speed and uproots trees. C. The magma flowing out of a volcano blocks the movement of a river. D. A hurricane carries ocean water across the coast and damages houses of people.

D. A hurricane carries ocean water across the coast and damages houses of people.

Explanation:

This question is looking for a statement that shows the interaction of an atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Firstly, atmosphere refers to the layer of the air that surrounds the earth i.e it pertains to air. Hydrosphere refers to the part of the earth occupied by water bodies e.g sea, river, ocean etc. i.e. it pertains to water.

Biosphere is the part of the earth that has to do with life i.e. it pertains to living organisms e.g plant, animal, human etc.

Based on the definition of each component, option D truly shows the relationship/interaction of the three components mentioned. That is, A hurricane (represent part of the atmosphere because it has to do with air) carries ocean water (represents hydrosphere because it involves water body) across the coast and damages houses of people (represents biosphere because it talks about living humans).
