What will happen if Lithosphere of Earth gets sunk in the Hydrosphere or water?
Siddhu123
Significant portions of the lithosphere are already "sunk in the hydrosphere". Specifically the oceanic crust. Strictly speaking the hydrosphere includes groundwater so any section of the earth's continental crust where groundwater is present and that is located below the water table could also be described as being "sunk in the hydrosphere".
This water, present in pore spaces can have a number of effects, including reducing the effective stress within the rock (which acts to decrease it's strength), cause the leaching or dissolution of various minerals and or the precipitation of minerals.

What are Earth's four major spheres are the?
The four sphere of the earth are the Atmosphere (gaseous envelope), the hydrosphere (water), the lithosphere (crust, mantle), the biosphere (living organisms).
What does the earth's hydrosphere do?
it is earth's water supply
Where is water found in all four spheres of the earth?
in hydrosphere, it is found in the air and or wherever there is water. In the lithosphere, there really, isn't any water in the arenosphere, I'm not sure, and the others, no water to be found unless there is water vapor in atmosphere...
Was is the part of Earth that is composed of liquid water?
I do believe it's known as Hydrosphere. (resource- Earth Science)
What is the name of water falling to the earth?
hydrosphere
What is the meaning of the hydrosphere?
Lithosphere is all the land on earth. And hydrosphere is all the water on earth.
What is the meaning of lithoshpere and hydrosphere?
Lithosphere is all the land on earth. And hydrosphere is all the water on earth.
The sphere on earth that includes water is called the atmosphere lithosphere hydrosphere or mesosphere?
The sphere on earth that contains water, and I believe is the largest on the Earth's surface is the Hydrosphere.
What are the spheres of the earth?
The 5 spheres on the Earth are; 1. Biosphere. 2. Atmosphere. 3. Lithosphere. 4. Hydrosphere. 5. Cryosphere.
Is the lithosphere made up of all of the liquid frozen or gaseous water on Earth?
Not. That is the hydrosphere. The lithosphere is composed of stone.
What is the definition of hydrosphere?
The English term 'hydrosphere' means the watery layer of the earth's surface; the waters of the earth's surface as distinguished from those of the lithosphere and the atmosphere. Hydrosphere also means the water vapor in the earth's atmosphere.
What spheres are part of the water cycle?
1% of the Atmosphere includes water vapor, water vapor is a part of the water cycle. Water covers 71% of the earth, Hydrosphere, the water cycle includes water.Hydrosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and biosphereapex
What three parts of the earth included in the biosphere?
1. atmosphere (air)- the layer of gases that surrounds the earth. 2. lithosphere (earth)-a. the solid portion of the earth b. the crust and upper mantle of the earth 3. hydrosphere (water)- the water on or surrounding the surface of the globe, including the water of the oceans and the water in the atmosphere
How do you distinguish between the biosphere lithosphere hydrosphere and atmosphere?
Biosphere - any part of the earth that contains life. Lithosphere - outer solid part of the earth including crust and upper mantle Hydrosphere - the part of the earth made up of water Atmosphere - the layer of gases surrounding the earth that are contained by gravity
What are the earth's 4 major spheres?
the atmosphere, hydrosphere,geosphere,and biosphere
Is the Earth's surface mostly land?
No. Earth is mostly composed of the hydrosphere (water) with 3/4 of the earth's surface. While lithosphere has 1/4 of earth's surface.
What is a example of carbon moving from the lithosphere to the hydrosphere?
As you probably know, the lithosphere is the ground (the solid Earth) and the hydrosphere is all the water on the planet and in the atmosphere as well. When it rains, the rainfall hits cliff-faces and hills and takes with it some small material that has dissolved in the water. This is now in the hydrosphere and can be taken to the sea or a river leading to an ocean.
