Arctic sea ice has declined over the past few decades causing water levels to increase. This is an interaction of which two spheres?

Biosphere and geosphere

Cryosphere and hydrosphere

Geosphere and atmosphere H

ydrosphere and geosphere

Answer :

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

The Cryosphere refers to the frozen water bodies on earth. This includes the glaciers, icebergs, ice sheets and the frozen water surrounding the Arctic as well as Antarctica.

The Hydrosphere refers to all the water bodies on earth including the rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds.

The given condition is based on the interaction between the cryosphere and the hydrosphere.

The frozen ice in the Antarctic and Arctic is melting rapidly due to the increase in the global warming effect. This declining ice in the polar region results in the rise in the global sea level. This can be catastrophic as many of the big cities will be flooded because of this increasing height of sea level.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
