  5. Hydrosphere Geosphere Yellowstone Forest Fires Event Biosphere Atmosphere

  6. Event - Hydrosphere • Lack of rain, moisture in soil, plants • Heat from fire removed moisture

  7. Event - Atmosphere • Lightning strike may have started the fires • Pollution (CO2) may have been produced

  8. Event - Geosphere • Heat from the fires may have caused some rocks to break

  9. Event - Biosphere • Dead branches and pine needles on the ground may have provided fuel • Seeds of some plants require that their outer shells be burned before they could sprout

  10. Geosphere - Hydrosphere • Increased erosion of soil increases sediments in water

  11. Geosphere - Biosphere • decrease in plants may have result in increased soil erosion

  12. Geosphere - Atmosphere • Ash particles in the air carried by the wind and dropped on the ground miles away from the forest fires; the ash particles--which have a high pH—can change the pH of the soil

  13. Hydrosphere - Biosphere • Ash particles in the water can clog the gills of fish and other aquatic organisms and choke them

  14. Hydrosphere - Atmosphere • More rain in neighboring areas because ash particles in the air may have become condensation centers that allow raindrops to form • Very dry, windy air can draw moisture out of the living grasses and trees through evaporation

  15. Biosphere - Atmosphere • Smoke in the air can coat the lungs of animals--including people--and affect their ability to breathe
