Give an example of how changes in the cryosphere affect the biosphere.

Melting of ice

Explanation:

Cryosphere is the frozen part of the water and biosphere is the surface or atmosphere of earth inhabited by living organisms. Cryosphere affects the biosphere in many ways such as by influencing the habitat of animals, contamination in life essentials and global warming.

Example;

The melting of ICE is main cause of flooding in many areas of globe which affects the habitat of biosphere because water occupy more space when it is in liquid form. It also cause increase in global warming because ice reflects less sunlight compared to water. When sea water freezes some salt also trapped in ice whose melting also cause salt contamination in soil water which affects the farming of vegetable of that area.
