Spheres that were involved in this terrible event was hydrosphere and atmosphere because hydrosphere has to do with water and a hurricane is made up of water, and it affected the land of where the hurricanes take place. I think this because hydrosphere is something that has to do with water and a hurricane is made up of water and is formed on water. Atmosphere in this situation is that the high winds from the hurricane are very strong it can go about 100 mph or more. I think this because atmosphere has to do with wind and hurricanes can blow up to more than 100 mph.

The spheres that were involved in this dreadful event are hydrosphere, biosphere, Atmosphere, and geosphere.The way Hydrosphere has been affected is because a lot of water has been moved onto land flooding some areas there for overflowing.The way the Atmosphere is a part of this is because with all that rain coming down it might have influenced how much water it was.The way that the biosphere has been affected is by people, animals, and plants dying because of high winds or drowning.The geosphere was affected because land was placed in different areas things in the ground could have fallen out.That is how each sphere was affected.

Matthew, I completely agree with you. I think that your comment was very descriptive and you explained why all the spheres are involved. Matthew, I totally agree with you. Biosphere is in a hurricane because it killed or destroyed plants,animals and people. Geosphere is involved because it affected the land. Atmosphere was involved because of the wind and hydrosphere was involved because it flooded the land. Your comment answered all of that. Great job!

Thanks for the information! I agree with that because if hydrosphere was not affected it might just be a tornado.I also agree that the Atmosphere influenced it because atmosphere is things in the air that are not living like gasses.So therefore hen the fact that it had very high winds would mean the Atmosphere was involved.

You did a nice job explaining why you think that hydrosphere and atmosphere are involved in this incident. I do agree with you for the two, but I think that biosphere and geosphere are also involved. If you think of it, biosphere are living things and lots of plants and animals were killed and injured. For geosphere, there are lots of rocks in Florida and most of them were probably cracked and brought back into the ocean. Great job.

In Haiti about 1,000 people died and tens of thousands people didn't have homes after the disaster. Also in the water in the flood caused some cholera. People fear flooding could cause a larger outbreak of the disease. The next place is Florida, some places had the record of flooding, and at least 33 people in the U.S. died. In North Carolina there levee broke and that lead to record flooding.

The sphere's that included this sad event is all 4 of them because for hydrosphere, obviously it is a flood so water is involved. For biosphere the nature and cites were destroyed. For atmosphere nasty gases and pollution are in the air. And finally geosphere because the land is getting destroyed.

You did a really nice job explaining Hurricane Matthew. I do agree with you that all 4 spheres were involved in this terrible event. You can figure them out by thinking about what each one means like biosphere. It means living. A lot of living things were involved in the situation. You did a really nice job. 10/20/2016 03:40:42 pm
I completely agree with you, Bridgit. You did a great job explaining Hurricane Mathew. I feel almost as though I'm there. Nice job!

Nice job Bridget. I think you are right. I think all spheres were affected by the hurricane. Hydrosphere because of the rain, atmosphere because of the winds, biosphere because it affected plants, animals and people. Geosphere because the hurricane destroyed the land.

The spheres that were involved in Hurricane Matthew were hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Hydrosphere is a sphere involved in Hurricane Matthew because hydrosphere is water and the thing that caused the damage was water. The way that hydrosphere affected the land was because all of the water traveled onto the land causing people to be injured and 33 people in the United States were killed. The way that the atmosphere was involved in Hurricane Matthew was because of the rain that had fallen and had probably influenced the land. The high winds were also part of the atmosphere. The high winds got up to 100 mph or more and knocked down many houses and buildings. It also knocked down power lines and trees. The way that biosphere was involved in Hurricane Matthew was because when the hurricane started, it had plants from the ocean and some plants that were on land. It also had animals such as fish. The biosphere was affected because a lot of plants and animals have died during this hurricane by drowning and having high winds. Finally, the way that the geosphere was involved in Hurricane Matthew was because there were rocks on the beach and on land. A geosphere is landscapes or rocks. The way that this terrible event affected the geosphere was because the rocks that were nearby were now gone. Those are the spheres that were involved in this event and how each one was affected.

Kristina, I absolutely agree that all 4 were involved in this unfortunate event. They all had little things that involved them. You also put great detail like how biosphere was the living things and how you used details from the text.Good job!

Kristina, I agree with you that hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere were involved because for hydrosphere rain falled and a hurricane is made from water. For geosphere the hurricane did damage to things like rocks on the beach. I agree with biosphere because it killed living organisms like people, animals, and plants and atmosphere because that is where all the rain fell from.

Kristina, I agree with what you said about how all four spheres were involved. I think that it is true that the hydrosphere was affected by the water because caused the damage. Also, hurricanes form in the water so that is something you could have added. I just think that everything was very detailed and descriptive in your writing.

Very detailed and good reply, Kristina. I agree with your answer. It is very obvious that all 4 spheres were involved. All you have to do is think of the meaning. Hydrosphere has water. There was water included. Atmosphere means wind and weather. Both of those were involved. Geosphere means landforms and land. These were involved in Hurricane Matthew, too. Biosphere has to do with life. Living things were also involved in this mess. Again, very nice job Kristina.

The spheres that Hurricane Matthew caused was a hydrosphere and atmosphere, the hydrosphere was affected during Hurricane Matthew because it rained severely and cause a major flood. Atmosphere was affected during Hurricane Matthew is that big winds as fast as 209 and 250 kph.

The type of spheres that were used in this incident was hydrosphere and atmosphere. The hydrosphere was used when the hurricane was created. Hydrosphere is related to water and a hurricane is created from and on water. Atmosphere was used with the two types of air temperatures mixed together to make the hurricane. Hurricane Matthew destroyed many homes, cut the electricity, and killed many people.

I agree/disagree with you Ajla because the geosphere and biosphere were probably involved. The animals, plants, and people that were hurt or killed are part of the biosphere and floods caused are from the geosphere. I agree with the atmosphere and hydrosphere though! 🤓
Reply
The spheres that were involved in this terrible event are atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere my reasonings why is becuase atmosphere are gases in the air that affect weather which obviously was involved becuase they caused the weather to go wrong and made the hurricane so atmosphere was involved it was affected becuase of all those winds and gases. Geosphere is involved becuase it means different landforms on earth and things underground which was involved becuase hurricane matthew destroyed all those things in the U.S and in haiti it was affected becuase the landforms will never be the same. Next there is hydrosphere which was involved becuase it is water that effect the land around it and that is exactly what hurricane matthew did it was affected becuase all that water was too much for the land so it changed. Finally there's biosphere which is different animals and ecosystems on earth which is involved becuase all of those things where affected when hurricane matthew struck by all the plants and animals dieing. So that are the spheres that were involved.

Those are the spheres that were involved in this event .

The spheres that were involved in this was atmosphere, hydrosphere biosphere and geosphere. Atmosphere was involved in this because the winds that were blowing came from the atmosphere and the rain came from the atmosphere. I know this because since Atmosphere is something that is in the sky and wind comes from the sky so it has to be involved. The other thing that was involved was hydrosphere because there was water involved. I know this because hydrosphere has to do with water and a hurricane is made from water so it has to be involved. That is what made most of the damage. Biosphere was involved in this because all of the humans, plants, and animals that were affected by this because a lot had died. I know this because biosphere involves living organisms and animals, humans and plant are living organisms. The last sphere that was involved was geosphere because a lot of things got damaged and were put of out of place and things that were attached to the ground like hills and mountains could have fell out. That is the spheres that were involved.

The spheres that were involved in hurricane Matthew are Atmosphere and Hydrosphere because the atmosphere has wind and in hurricane Matthew the wind was so high the wind speed was up to 320 kilometers or 200 miles per hour.Hydrosphere has rain and it is water related and in the hurricane it rained so much that in Haiti's coast that water made an overflowing river.Hurricane Matthew had high winds and a lot of rain.

The spheres involved in this horrific event are the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. The atmosphere is involved because the way it did its damage was by creating terrible winds, and rain. I know this because winds and rain come from the atmosphere, and atmosphere means things that are formed or created in the sky. Hydrosphere is involved because hurricanes almost always form in about the middle of the ocean and travel down, and during a hurricane it will most likely start to precipitate. Rain will start pouring down and rain does not only have to be associated with the atmosphere because rain is water, and hydrosphere is basically anything water related in nature. The ocean is also a form of a big body of water, so that can be associated with the hydrosphere too. The reason why this hurricane involves the geosphere is because when hurricane Matthew struck at the U.S and Haiti, it destroyed any landform it possibly could in its path. I know this because the geosphere mostly involves things in or formed on the Earth like hills for example. Finally, the reason why the biosphere associates with hurricane Matthew is because of all the animals, plants, and people killed and or damaged, or even destroyed during this incident. Over 1,000 innocent people were killed in this terrible tragedy that is, hurricane Matthew. I know this because the biosphere pretty much involves any thing, or organism that is a living plant or creature on this Earth. That is why I think that all four spheres are involved in terrible hurricane Matthew. Let's all hope that things don't get worse for the places that were struck.

I think the spheres that were involved in this disaster is the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. I think the hydrosphere is involved because, first of all, hurricanes are created in the ocean with really high winds, and second, it is going across Atlantic Ocean and causing a lot of flooding everywhere. I think that the atmosphere is involved because the wind is what makes the ocean water flow and cause the hurricane and wind is part of the atmosphere. The geosphere is involved because the hurricane effects the land and all the landforms and landforms and land are mostly what makes up the geosphere. Lastly, biosphere is affected because the hurricane affected the people living there and plants and animals by killing some people and things sadly and those are the things that make up the biosphere. That is why I think the biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere were all affected in this disaster.

I think the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, were involved. I think that hydrosphere was involved because without water there would be no hurricane. The water in the hurricane also did the damage like flooding and power loss. The biosphere was involved because there were probably animals and plants in the water when the hurricane struck. Plus 33 people died by Hurricane Matthew including habitats that other animals live in. The geosphere was involved because the hurricane most likely eroded a lot of land that it passed. That is how the geosphere was involved. The atmosphere was involved by creating rain and generating high winds in order to form the hurricane

I think that you comment is absolutely right. Atmosphere was involved because of rain and wind. Hydrosphere was involved because it was flooding the earth. Geosphere is involved because it affected the land. Biosphere was involved because it destoryed plants,animals,and people. Your comment had all that information.

The two spheres that were involved with Hurricane Mathew was the hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. I believe that the hydrosphere was a part of Hurricane Mathew and other hurricanes because it was related to water. The water was a part of the hurricane because it was sweeping water up the coasts causing floods. The hurricane was also bringing in rain. As you can see, the rain and the floods caused from hurricanes and Hurricane Matthew were related to water, and the hydrosphere is a sphere that is supposed to be related to water that would change or affect the land around it. Next is geosphere because the hurricane probably flooded the land and affected it in other ways. Geosphere was part of this because it is supposed to be land that formed. After geosphere is biosphere because Hurricane Matthew probably hurt or killed animals or people while also killing a lot of plants and crops. Biosphere is the sphere that means life on earth or the environments. The last and only is atmosphere because Hurricane Matthew had strong winds that created Matthew and winds that were so powerful caused from Hurricane Matthew that they were at least 200 mph that could push down poles and trees. Atmosphere is supposed to be related to air and weather. This are the spheres that were probably the ones that were involved in Hurricane Matthew.

One sphere that occurred in this horrible event is hydrosphere. Hydrosphere took place because it was flooding the earth killing at least 33 people in Florida, as many as 1,000 in Haiti, This also involves atmosphere because wind is a part of that group and there was a lot of wind in Hurricane Matthew. Winds in hurricanes are so strong that they knock down buildings. Biosphere was part of this hurricane because living things such as people and plants were destroyed. Geosphere was involved in a hurricane because Haiti is a island that got hit which is a geosphere.

I think that the spheres involved in this situation where Geosphere and biosphere because the hurricane destroyed the lands and it also managed to kill people and animals so biosphere and geosphere were involved but I also think that atmosphere and hydrosphere were involved because hydrosphere is involved with water so I am guessing that this was the cause of the floods and atmosphere because their was a lot of wind and gasses which prevented the hurricane. This is what i think.

All the spheres were affected by Hurricane Matthew. The hydrosphere was affected because it rained heavily. The atmosphere was affected because it created the winds and rain. The geosphere was affected because the hurricane destroyed the land. The biosphere was affected because plants and animals' homes were destroyed.

With winds at the level 4 of 5 I can't imagine what it would be like to be in Hurricane Mathew. It continued to go along the coast of Florida all the way into Haiti. Most of the people were killed in Haiti and that really scares me. I have never been present when someone has died. I don't think I could be present when thousands of people die. That would be so painful for me.
Reply
I think that all the spheres were involved because the hydro and the ampnosphere caused the hurricane because the wind from the ampnosphere caused the to swirl around and the hurricane effected the geosphere by destroying the trees and land. Since the land is destroyed the animals and people can't survive there so therefore it effects the biosphere too.

The spheres that Hurricane Matthew affected was the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. The hydrosphere was affected because the hurricane was made of water and it caused flooding. The atmosphere was affected because Hurricane Matthew had winds between 209 and 250 kph. The biosphere was affected because at the most, 1,000 people were killed in Haiti by Hurricane Matthew.

I think that all of the spheres the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere were involved somehow in the devastation whether it was attacked by the hurricane or it was apart of it. The Atmosphere was apart of the hurricane because in the article it states "When Hurricane Matthew struck Haiti, it was a Category 4 storm—the second strongest type with winds between 209 and 250 kph (130 and 156 mph)" So the Atmosphere was apart of the hurricane because of the winds which were 130 to 156 mile per hour. in addition there was lot of rain and thunder storms where the hurricane hit. The Hydrosphere was also in apart of hurricane Matthew because the nation of Haiti was flood a lot, you can see this in the picture above the article with the caption saying "People try to cross an overflowing river in one of Haiti’s coastal towns hit by Hurricane Matthew on October 4." As you can see in the photo the water is very high all the way up to one of the man's waist. Furthermore hurricanes are made up of mostly water and the hydrosphere has to do with a lot of water. I think that the Geosphere was changed because of the hurricane in the following way, the hurricane broke the levee that was built to keep water out of certain parts the country which then lead to more and more water flooding. Finally the biosphere was affected in many ways like when the water flooded the streets it carried a lot of waterborne disease. It also forced people to stay on top of their houses so that they wouldn't drown in the water like the 33 people in Florida died. Hurricane Mathew according to the article's second to last paragraph has also destroyed lots of crops "Officials are worried because the hurricane has destroyed food crops that people in Haiti need to survive." Even though 33 people died in Florida about 1,000 lives wear taken in Haiti. This is why I think all four sphere were had a part in hurricane Mathew.

Hurricanes start when warm, moist air from the ocean surface begins to rise rapidly, where it encounters cooler air that causes the warm water vapor to condense and to form storm clouds and drops of rain. So, i think that the atmosphere and the hydrosphere are involved in a hurricane
Reply
The spheres that I think were involved were atmosphere and hydrosphere because the huricane was made by wind and water. It effected biosphere by killing people and plants. Also destroying homes of people and animals. Another sphere effected was the geosphere because the hurricane destroyed land.
