4 Spheres of the Enviornment

1) On December 1st 2014 the typhoon Hagupit also known as typhoon Ruby became the most intense tropical storm, with high winds of 287 km/hr and lasting 12 days. The storm affected the Caroline Islands, Palau, Vietnam and the Philippines. There was a total damage of $114 million(USD) with 18 dead and 916 injured. 
2)The hydrosphere is involved because it was a hurricane and most of the damage was caused by the water. The biosphere is involved because of the people, buildings, houses, plants on land all impacted by the storm. The lithosphere is affected because of the erosion caused by the storm. Lastly the atmosphere is involved because it is the main cause of the hurricane. 
3) The different spheres are interacting with one another by the atmosphere is affecting the lithosphere after it occurs which form with the hydrosphere and then impacts the biosphere and environment after it hits the land.
