Answer 1

hurricanes making landfall and killing local residents

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth. It is a mixture of many gases.

The biosphere is the portion of the earth where lives exists or thrives.

An interaction between atmosphere and biosphere will bring together components of the atmosphere and the living parts.

• Hurricanes are formed by a violent wind that spreads over water.
• So, when they hit the surface of the earth, they are very devastating leading to severe hazards.
• When lives are impacted, then there is an interaction between the two spheres.
