 Hydrosphere Event

With less white areas of

ice on the surface, the
darker oceans are
absorbing more heat.

droughts and wildfires
 Event Hydrosphere

Droughts affect the

hydrosphere by drying up
bodies of water in a area
 Atmosphere Event

When trees and plants release

moisture into the atmosphere,
clouds form and return the
moisture to the ground as
rain. When forests and
vegetation disappear, less
[insert
water is available to feed the
water cycle, making entire

regions more vulnerable to
drought

 Event Atmosphere

During drier years the

concentration of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere
rises faster because
stressed ecosystems

The lithosphere doesn't

cause droughts but the

 Event Lithosphere
Droughts affect the
lithospheric crust as it gets
completely dried up due to
water shortage and
hydrological imbalances in
the geosphere.

Interaction Between Spheres During [insert name of event here].

During drier years the atmosphere might produce less water which
can Causes droughts and affects the hydrosphere by drying up
bodies of water. which the affects the geosphere and lithosphere
because it drys up the ground and affect soil quality.
Some other spheres that would be affected is the biosphere. The
biosphere would be affected by the soil is all dried up so no plants
would be able to grow.

GUIDING QUESTIONS (write these in your notebook)

GUIDING QUESTIONS:
1. How may each of the Earth’s four spheres have caused the event to occur?
(Sphere vs. event impacts)

2. What are the effects of the event on each of the Earth’s four spheres?
(event vs. sphere impacts)

3. What are the effects of changes in one of Earth’s four spheres?

(sphere to sphere interactions)

4. Can systems exist alone without interacting with each other? Why or Why not? Support your answer.

5. How does what you learned about these system interactions apply to your own envir onment?
