What two spheres do the clouds and soil belong?

the cloud in atmmosphere and soil in lithosphere


Are clouds part of atmosphere or hydrosphere?

In a nutshell, yes. They are not a layer of the atmosphere, but since a cloud is humidity in the atmosphere I would call it a component that makes up our atmosphere.


How does radiation work in the lithosphere?

The sunlight enters as UV radiation, it is absorbed by the lithosphere and so drops in energy, therefore it is re-radiated out as the longer-waved infrared radiation. The amount any area absorbs is dependant on the albedo effect, dark areas absorb a lot, while high albedo areas (such as snowy/ icy areas) reflect most of it back away from the Earth as UV. Uv can also be reflected back before reaching the lithosphere by clouds and airborne particles such as sulphur dioxide (hence the drop in global temperatures seen after major volcanic eruptions). Infrared radiation from the lithosphere can leave the Earth or be captured, absorbed then re-radiated back down to the ground by clouds (which is why it's always warmer in the morning after a cloudy night).


what are non examples of lithosphere?

Oceans: Oceans are not made up of solid lithosphere, but rather liquids and gases. Volcanoes: Volcanoes are composed of molten rock, which is not part of the lithosphere. Soil: Soil is composed of organic matter and weathered rocks, and is not part of the lithosphere. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is composed of gases and does not form part of the lithosphere. Subduction Zones: Subduction Zones are areas of Earth's crust where one plate slides beneath another, and are not part of the lithosphere.


Are water ice and rock part of the atmosphere?

For the most part, no. Some water is present in the atmosphere in the form of clouds and water vapor, but water and ice are generally considered part of the hydrosphere. Rocks compose the geosphere or lithosphere.

What are the 8 North American water features?

Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, Glaciers, Waterfalls, Geysers, Underground aquifers, and Rain clouds (including rain, mist and fog).


Does the lithosphere move?

Yes,because the water from the clouds bring down and touches the ground and not all of the trees absorbs that much of water so the rain touches the ground and goes inside the land then ocuppies space in land and makes holes so waters from the ocean going through those holes and occupies much space inside the land and the continents will will move and separate

Is there alcohol in outer space?

Large interstellar clouds of vinegar have been found in space. Alcohol could also be somewhere in the universe.Being the discoverer of interstellar acetic acid (vinegar), I can for certain say that vinegar is a very minor component in these clouds, so the original answer is a bit misleading in that it sounds like vinegar is all these clouds are made of which is quite untrue. In fact, there is only 1 vinegar molecule for every 1 billion diatomic hydrogen molecules in these clouds. In these same clouds both methyl and ethyl alcohol were discovered decades ago. Methanol is actually a relatively abundant molecule in molecular clouds. So short answer, yes.
