1 Every few years, the surface waters along the equator in the Pacific Ocean become uncommonly warm. This event is known as El Niño. El Niño can cause changes in regions that are very far away from the Pacific Ocean. It can increase air pressure over the Indian Ocean and can cause increased rainfall in places like the deserts of Peru. Which of Earth's spheres are interacting when this happens? A. the hydrosphere and the atmosphere B. the atmosphere and the geosphere C. the geosphere and the biosphere D. the biosphere and the hydrosphere

Answer:A. the hydrosphere and the atmosphere

Explanation:

El nino refers to cyclical environmental conditions that causes the Equatorial Pacific Ocean to rise above the normal sea temperature as a result of the natural interactions between the hydrosphere and atmosphere because the atmosphere and the ocean's temperature, rainfall, air pressure, circulation all influence each other and they work together to circulate heat and fresh water across the globe.
