For the most part, no. Some water is present in the atmosphere in the form of clouds and water vapor, but water and ice are generally considered part of the hydrosphere. Rocks compose the geosphere or lithosphere.

Which part of the cyrosphere comes directly from the atmosphere?
Snow and ice in the cryosphere can originate directly from the atmosphere through processes such as snowfall and deposition of water vapor. This water vapor condenses into ice crystals or snowflakes before accumulating on the ground or other surfaces.
What three states of water can exist in the atmosphere?
Water vapor, liquid water droplets, and ice crystals are the three states of water that can exist in the atmosphere.
Is water vapor a part of the hydrosphere?
Yes, water vapor is considered part of the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere encompasses all the forms of water on Earth, including water vapor in the atmosphere, liquid water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, and frozen water in glaciers and polar ice caps.
What are the six spheres of Earth Science?
The six spheres of Earth science are the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), biosphere (life), cryosphere (ice), and geosphere (rock). Each sphere plays a role in Earth's interconnected systems and processes.
What is the only substance that exists as a solid liquid and gas in the Earth's atmosphere?
water
Is water considered part of the atmosphere?
Bodies of water are not part of the atmosphere, but water vapor and water and ice in clouds are.
What are the three physical states of water in the atmosphere?
Atmospheric water is largely water vapor, the gaseous form of water. When water becomes liquid it forms clouds and fog. It eventually collects and becomes rain (liquid distilled water) or sleet or hail (solid ice) or snow or hoer frost (solid ice crystals of ice).Only water vapor can be considered part of the atmosphere, the others occur as the vapor leaves the atmosphere.
What main materials or gases is Pluto made of?
Pluto is primarily composed of rock and ice, with a substantial amount of water ice, nitrogen, and methane. Its thin atmosphere consists of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide.
What happens to water in a rock as it changes from liquid to ice?
the ice expands the rock

What is fragment of rock ice or metal that glows as it collides atmosphere?
meteor.
What is the solid form of water that breaks rock?
The Solid Form of Water that breaks rock is called "ice".
What is the ice on the moon made of?
There is no ice on the moon because there is no water or atmosphere.
Where is water found as ice?
It is found in the atmosphere.
Does Saturn or mercury have ice?
Hey Cyrstal here Saturn's rings are made of rock and ice but Mercury does not have ice. Cyrstal Comment: Not a bad answer, but it's thought Mercury has some ice, in craters at the poles. Also I think there is a small amount of water ice in the atmosphere of Saturn.
How do ice and water change rock?
