Natural Disasters: Hurricane Irma

Reflection: The earth system is made of four and a half spheres. Atmosphere: The air that surrounds the earth, Geosphere: The Geosphere is the rocks and minerals of the earth. From hot magma to the sandy beaches, this is all part of the Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and cryosphere: Hydrosphere is made up of all the water on earth, cryosphere is the frozen water of the earth system, and Biosphere: it is composed of all of the living organisms on earth. Each of these sphere kind of play a role in each other especially when talking about hurricanes. Besides hurricanes destroying people's homes, community, taking individuals lives away they have an impact on the environment as well. Hurricanes also cause strong wind that can completely defoliate forest and cause changes in wooded ecosystems. Animals can be killed by hurricanes or impacted indirectly through changes in habitat and food availability caused by the high winds, storm and the crazy rainfall.
