How Does An Earthquake Affect The Different Spheres (For Example?
Earthquakes have varied effects, including changes in geologic features, damage to man-made structures, and impact on human and animal life. Most of these effects occur on solid ground, but, since most earthquake foci are actually located under the ocean bottom, severe effects are often observed along the margins of oceans. As Lithosphere is the solid portion of the earth (crust and upper mantle), an earthquake would certainly affect it by Hydrosphere (water on or surrounding the earth, including the ocean): If an earthquake occured under the water, then it could possibly create a tsunami. Atmosphere (the gaseous envelope surrounding the earth known as air): The characteristic changes of the spectrum and phase diagrams of infrasonic fluctuations in the atmosphere change before large earthquakes (see below).
