Explanation:
The geosphere affects the atmosphere as soil provides nutrients to plants that then release water vapor into the atmosphere.
The atmosphere provides the geosphere with heat and energy needed for rock breakdown and erosion. The geosphere, in turn, reflects the sun's energy back into the atmosphere. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight (energy) from the atmosphere.
The geosphere impacts Earth's climate in a variety of ways. Typically, the geosphere reacts on geologic timescales, affecting climate slowly and over millions of years. However, burning of fossil fuels over the last 150 years has sped the impact of the geosphere on climate.
