In the Earth's System, frozen water in the form of snow, floating ice and glaciers is known as __________.

  • A.Biosphere
  • B.Greensphere
  • C.Cryosphere
  • D.Blusphere

Answer: C

It is the cryosphere.

The cryosphere (from the Greek kryos, cold) is the part of the Earth system where water is frozen: snow cover, glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice and floating ice, frozen ground and permafrost.

The biosphere is the zone of life. 'Greensphere' and 'Blusphere' are not terms for any part of the Earth system.

The other spheres of the Earth system are the lithosphere (rock), the hydrosphere (liquid water), the atmosphere (air) and the biosphere (life).
