Which describes the hydrosphere?
the land drained by a river and its tributaries
more aquatic life
its temperature and pH
all of the water in Earth’s oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, and glaciers, plus the water in the atmosphere
intertidal
nitrate levels and turbidity
because pollutants are filtered by rock and soil deep within Earth
It is unsafe to drink.
