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.
An example of carbon moving from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere is when carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere dissolves into the oceans. This process, known as carbon sequestration, helps regulate the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and directly impacts the ocean's acidity levels.
Carbon is found in the hydrosphere in dissolved form as bicarbonate, carbonate, and gaseous CO2. It is an essential component of the carbon cycle, moving between the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms. Carbon in the hydrosphere plays a critical role in regulating pH levels and influencing the ocean's capacity to absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The hydrosphere is the sphere where water constantly circulates on Earth, moving between the atmosphere, surface water bodies like oceans and rivers, and below-ground water sources like aquifers. This continuous movement is known as the water cycle.
The idea that Earth's lithosphere is divided into large moving sections is called the theory of plate tectonics. This theory explains how the Earth's lithosphere is broken into several plates that shift and interact with each other, resulting in various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
Tectonic plates are the moving irregularly shaped slabs that make up the Earth's lithosphere. These plates constantly shift and interact with each other, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.

as it is concentrated on the crust. and the crust is moving due to crustal activity/tectonic activity.
plate tectonics.
The lithosphere is the crust of the Earth. The crust is always moving due to plate tectonics and continental drift. This can cause earthquakes.
One example is the process of respiration in animals, where organic compounds containing carbon are broken down to release carbon dioxide, an inorganic compound, as a byproduct. This carbon dioxide is then released into the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle.
An example of carbon moving from an inorganic compound to an organic compound in the carbon cycle is through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (an inorganic compound) from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose (an organic compound) through a series of chemical reactions using sunlight as an energy source.
