Fire Tornado

A three-month drought led to brush fires spreading across the country of Brazil. As it combined with strong, dry winds it created a fire tornado. The whirlwind of fire was several meters high and contains winds over 100mph (161kph). The humidity levels in Sao Paulo were similar to those of the Sahara desert. It burned hundreds of acres, and halted traffic on nearby highway. 

This destruction involves the atmosphere, lithosphere, and the biosphere. The atmosphere in this event would include the dry winds, humidity and the low rainfall. The lithosphere involves the soil and land. These two spheres interact by the wind erosions (atmosphere) causing the burned acres of land (lithosphere). The biosphere involves people, plants, and grasses. As the environment is affected so are humans in it. For example farmers (biosphere) are affected since their land may be burned (lithosphere). The fire tornado kills all grasses, plants, and trees as it whirls around the across the country. The atmosphere interacts with the biosphere in many different ways. Some examples include habitats for birds and insects, smoke and pollution, and the air humans breathe. The biosphere also interacts with the lithosphere as the land (lithosphere) we (biosphere) live on is destroyed or through agriculture. The fire tornado left the country with destruction affecting many of the spheres.
