When sedimentary rocks are weathered by wind and waves on the ocean coasts, the spheres involved include:
b. Geosphere - This includes all the solid and molten rock (lithosphere) of the Earth, and sedimentary rocks are a part of this sphere.
e. Atmosphere - Wind is a movement of air, which is a part of the atmosphere. It interacts with the rocks, causing abrasion and weathering.
f. Hydrosphere - Waves are part of the ocean, which belongs to the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere encompasses all the water on Earth, including the oceans, and it contributes to the weathering of rocks along the coasts.
