Combined mass of water found on, under, and above the surface of a planet, minor planet or natural satellite.
1
The water realm is known as the hydrosphere and it is overwhelmingly oceanic.
2
Our increasing water use had started to modify our hydrosphere.
3
The earth sciences aim to unravel how the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere operate-andhow they operate together.
4
As the heat of the interior increased, these gases transpired to the surface and formed the primitive atmosphere and hydrosphere.
5
At that interface between the Earth's interior and the hydrosphere, that chemical exchange has an impact on global climate systems.
6
Next was the hydrosphere, which included all water within and on the lithosphere, in the atmosphere, and in the biosphere.
7
It is only borderline habitable, however, due to the slight hydrosphere and parts of its continental interiors are nearly Martian in their arid beauty.
8
Lack of equilibrium between water and host rock implies that the lithosphere and hydrosphere of the SNC parent body formed two distinct oxygen isotopic reservoirs.
9
Suess believes that "the local invasions and transgressions of the continental areas by the sea" are due to "secular movements of the hydrosphere itself."
10
The two planets had very similar hydrospheres, however, and almost exactly the same axial inclinations, which was pleasantly homey.
