Which sphere of the Earth and geographic feature are not correctly matched?
  1. Atmosphere: cyclone.
  2. Hydrosphere: alluvial fan.
  3. Biosphere: forest.
  4. Lithosphere: sand dune.
Explanation
Answer: B -An alluvial fan is not part of the hydrosphere. An alluvial fan is a deposit of alluvium in a delta at a point where the river’s velocity decreases. It is part of the lithosphere because it is mineral-based. Only water-based geological features, such as rivers, oceans, snow, and glaciers, are part of the hydrosphere.
