The hydrosphere is made up of a variety of gases including oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. The hydrosphere includes water in several forms including in gaseous states.
One is made from gases the other from liquids.
According to Education.com, the hydrosphere is made of oxygen at 86 percent, hydrogen at 11 percent and other elements totalling 3 percent.
The main gases found in the hydrosphere are oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which are dissolved in water. These gases are important for supporting aquatic life and maintaining a balance in the environment. Other gases such as nitrogen (N2) and methane (CH4) can also be present in smaller amounts.
The hydrosphere overlaps with the geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Water in the hydrosphere interacts with the land in the geosphere, supports life in the biosphere, and exchanges gases with the atmosphere.
The hydrosphere is predominantly made out of water, primarily in the form of oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. Water molecules, composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, make up the vast majority of the hydrosphere.
The lithosphere has the highest density among the three Earth layers. The lithosphere is composed of solid rock, while the hydrosphere is made up of water and the atmosphere contains gases. The lithosphere's density is influenced by its composition and the pressure it is under.
Ocean.
The Earth's hydrosphere consists of all liquid and frozen water, including oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, and ice caps. The atmosphere is composed of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other trace gases. Collectively, the hydrosphere and atmosphere make up the Earth's water and air systems.
The atmosphere and hydrosphere are interconnected through processes like evaporation, precipitation, and condensation. The atmosphere regulates the temperature and pressure of the hydrosphere, impacting weather patterns and ocean currents. Similarly, the hydrosphere influences the composition of the atmosphere through processes like the water cycle and exchanges of gases.

liquid water
The hydrosphere is predominantly made up of water, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Water covers about 70% of the Earth's surface, making it the most abundant component of the hydrosphere.
