The forest fires are phenomenon that interacts with all of the spheres at once. With the burning of the plants and the animals the forest fire releases a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere, thus interacting with it. The biosphere is initially damaged as the plants are burnt to the ground while lot of animals end up dead, but later it produces fertilizer for the next generation of plants, thus interaction with the biosphere. The ashes form the burning of the forest fire end up as layers on the geosphere, making its top soil more fertile, thus interaction with the geaosphere. Because of the high temperatures from the fire, the water in the forest will be evaporating very quickly while the fire is on, thus interaction with the hydrosphere.

Answer from: yfgkeyonna

Forest fire affects the geosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere in the following ways.

The geosphere is the part of the earth that includes elements like rocks and minerals. A forest fire can affect them through heat, which may lead to the disintegration of rocks and the disposition of minerals.The atmosphere is otherwise known as the air on earth. It includes the elements such as oxygen, carbon dioxide.A forest fire can affect the atmosphere by polluting these gases and making them acidic.The biosphere is a term that describes living things including plants and animals. A forest fire can affect the biosphere by killing or suffocating them to death through heat.Hydrosphere has to do with water bodies.A forest fire can affect them by causing a chemical reaction which will lead to contamination of water bodies.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is Forest fires can be detrimental to any of the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere.
