Atmosphere

The moisture cools as it rises and condenses into heavy rain, often much more than a typical low pressure system

the air is particularly warm and can hold a tremendous amount of moisture

the atmosphere influences the geosphere by promoting erosion and weathering, surface processes that slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones

Hurricane Ida

Port Fourchon, Louisiana August 29, 2021

strong winds, storm surge flooding, and heavy rainfall that can lead to inland flooding, tornadoes, and rip currents

Before/after

hurricanes most frequently occur off the Southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts

Geosphere

the force of water from a storm surge can cause coastal erosion

source of energy The common source of energy for hurricanes is thermal energy. During times of warm ocean waters and thunderstorms fuel power hungry hurricanes.

when bodies of water or rain cause land formations to erode

hydrosphere

warm, moist air rises and cools, the process of condensation releases heat

When the Sun heats the oceans, water vapor carries energy into the atmosphere

hydrosphere provides water for the biosphere to function, grow, and live

biosphere

can completely change ecosystems and can cause extreme damage to the biosphere

generate strong winds
