The hydrosphere (from Greek ὕδωρ - hudōr, "water"[1] and σφαῖρα - sphaira, "sphere"[2]) in physical geography describes the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet.
The lithosphere (Ancient Greek: λίθος [lithos] for "rocky", and σφαῖρα [sphaira] for "sphere") is the rigid[1]outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.

Do the atmosphere hydrosphere and the lithosphere interact with each other?
Hydrosphere erodes a part of lithosphere and at the same time the atmosphere is constantly incorporating a part of hydrosphere via evaporation and dumping some of it in lithosphere. From the lithosphere, it is transported back to the hydrosphere and the cycle continues.
