Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer: 

Rain water from the (hydrosphere) which falls from clouds into the (atmosphere) then it reaches to (lithosphere) and eventually it forms river and streams. These river and streams are the important source of drinking water for animals and humans as well as plant growth which is important part of (biosphere). 

Above are the example of the interaction between all the four sphere of Earth.

 

Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic are the main groups of rocks.

Sedimentary rocks can form when the  sediments on the earth become compacted and cemented. 

Igneous rocks can form when the molten rock in the form of magma or lava cools and solidifies.

Metamorphic rocks are the rocks which form as existing rocks can changed through the action of heat, pressure, and solutions.
