Certain tiny bacteria are able to live in extreme conditions, including in boiling hot springs created by molten rock near earth's surface. select all the "spheres" that are interacting in this situation. a. biosphere b. exosphere c. geosphere d. cryosphere e. atmosphere f. hydrosphere

Biosphere

Geosphere

Hydrosphere

Atmosphere

Explanation:

The components of the environment in view here are:

1. The bacteria

2.Boiling hotspring

3. Molten rock

Only the bacteria is the biotic component of the of the environment.

Now let us look more into the different spheres given:

a.biosphere: this where all life forms resides and it is a thin layer of the earth crust. Here, life activities shapes and conditions the environment. All life forms makes up the biosphere.

This is where the bacteria fits in.

b.exosphere: This sphere is a part of the atmosphere and it is the outermost layer or part of the atmosphere.

c.geosphere: this is the solid portion of the earth which is made up of rocks of the earth. Some of the rocks can be in molten form known as magma because they are close to their melting temperature. This is where we have the molten rocks.

d.cryosphere:this is the sphere that contains solid water on the crust. It is made up of polar ice and the ones found in high altitudes.

e.atmosphere: the atmosphere is the sphere of gases. When the molten rocks boils the water, some turns into vapor and they form part of the water vapor in this sphere. Several mixtures of gases makes up the atmosphere.

f.hydrosphere:this is the sphere of water on the earth. Both fresh and salt water falls in this category. This is where the water being boiled by the molten rock originates.

fertilization is the union of an egg and a sperm cell i believe.

wow this is so hard for me im only in elementry school still!
