How does the water cycle show how the hydrosphere and the atmosphere interact?

• Plants soak up water from the ground. 
• Air evaporates to form water clouds.
• Water filters through the soil into the ground water.
• Heat and wind causes water in the pond to evaporate into thin air.

How do the geosphere and the hydrosphere interact? 

• The geosphere stores parts of the hydrosphere.
• The geosphere erodes (shapes) the hydrosphere.
• The hydrosphere stores parts of the geosphere.
