The hydrosphere is the water on the surface of the Earth as well as the water vapor in the atmosphere (1). It effects things such as climate change. The hydrosphere effects climate change because water absorbs solar and man-made heat (2). Ocean currents move this heat to various places all over the world. For example, Britain has a warmer climate than a place in Canada of the same latitude, because a warm water current goes by Britain.
