Explain how Earth’s spheres may be affected by the droughts brought on by El Niño.

Answer:

The droughts caused by El Niño reduce water in the hydrosphere, dry out and damage soil in the geosphere, and affect the biosphere because plants may die and animals may lack food and water. The atmosphere is involved because changes in weather patterns cause the reduced rainfall.
