Definition of hydrosphere in English English dictionary: All the waters of the Earth, as distinguished from the land and the gases of the atmosphere; Discontinuous layer of water at or near the Earth's surface. It includes all liquid and frozen surface waters, groundwater held in soil and rock, and atmospheric water vapour. Virtually all of these waters are in constant circulation through the hydrologic cycle. Although the components of the hydrosphere are undergoing continuous change of state and location, the total water budget remains in balance. The components of the hydrosphere have been seriously affected by the water-polluting activities of modern society; one of three traditional subdivisions of the physical environment of the Earth that is composed of water; The part of the Earth composed of water including clouds, oceans, seas, ice caps, glaciers, lakes, rivers, underground water supplies, and atmospheric water vapor; The Earth's water; The aqueous envelope of the earth, including the ocean, all lakes, streams, and underground waters, and the aqueous vapor in the atmosphere; The whole body of water that exists on or close to the surface of the Earth This includes the oceans, seas, lakes, and the water in the atmosphere; The totality of water encompassing the Earth, comprising all the bodies of water, ice, and water vapor in the atmosphere; the water realm of Earth, which includes water contained in the oceans, lakes, rivers, ground, glaciers, and water vapor in the atmosphere; The water portion of the earth as distinguished from the solid part, called the lithosphere, and from the gaseous outer envelope, called the atmosphere; water held in oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers, ground water, plants, animals, soil, and air List of Glossary Terms; Encompasses the oceans and other bodies of water as well as the water which permeates the geosphere; All the earth's liquid water (oceans, smaller bodies of fresh water, and underground aquifers), frozen water (polar ice caps, floating ice and frozen upper layer of soil known as permafrost), and small amounts of water vapor in the atmosphere back; The aqueous vapor of the entire atmosphere; the watery layer of the earth's surface; includes water vapor; The component of the climate system comprising liquid surface and subterranean water, such as: oceans, seas, rivers, fresh water lakes, underground water etc; Considered as the water portion of the earth's surface Part of the geosphere; The aqueous envelope of the Earth, including the oceans, freshwater lakes, rivers, saline lakes and inland seas, soil moisture and vadose water, groundwaters, and atmospheric vapor (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990); {i} waters which cover the surface of the earth; the aqueous envelope of the Earth, including bodies of water (both liquid and solid) and aqueous vapour in the atmosphere; This consists of all water in the liquid phase distributed on the Earth, including the oceans, interior seas, lakes, rivers, and subterranean waters; This is the broad name for the water above, on or in the earth's crust, including oceans, seas, lakes, ground water, and atmospheric moisture; the water realm of Earth, which includes water contained in the oceans, lakes, rivers, ground, glaciers and water vapor in the atmosphere; Layer of the Earth which contains the liquid oceans and accounts for roughly 70 percent of Earth's total surface area; is one of the five interrelated components of the Earth system and consists of all of Earth's waters including the oceans, fresh waters, and water vapor in the atmosphere; The water on or around the surface of a planet; all the components of water present on the Earth, including bodies of water, water vapor, ice, etc; The waters of Earth, as distinguished from the rocks (lithosphere), the air (atmosphere), and living things (biosphere); The liquid and solid water that rests on the lithosphere, including the solid, liquid, and gaseous materials that are suspended or dissolved in the water; the shell of water which nearly envelopes the Earth in the form of oceans and inland seas; that part of the Earth that is made up of water
