25
What might be 1 explanation for the arch in the drawing shown below?
Rain in atmosphere was consumed by animals in biosphere
Rain in atmosphere froze to form ice in cryosphere

26
Why does water heat more slowly than land?
Warm water on the surface and cold water below do not mix.
Light is absorbed by the surface of water.
More energy is required to heat water than is needed to heat
The air over water is colder than the air over land.
