The five components of the climate system are the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and

  • A.biosphere
  • B.ionosphere
  • C.magnetosphere
  • D.exosphere

Answer: A

Correct answer: biosphere

The five are the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the lithosphere and the biosphere. The biosphere belongs among them because living matter exchanges carbon, water and energy with the others on climatically important timescales - through photosynthesis and respiration, through transpiration, and through the albedo and roughness of vegetated surfaces. The ionosphere, magnetosphere and exosphere lie outside the system as usually defined.
