How flooding affects the biosphere
There are 2 main different ways that flooding can affect an environment.On this site, I will show you how these changes affect an environment or a city.
One way is that it can overfeed plants with too much water. This causes many plants to die. One effect of all the plants dying is the farmers wont be able to grow their crops. This is bad because those simple crops are humans main food and if we don't have them, many people will starve in that area in which the flood happened. As you can probably tell, this is very bad for a community or an environment.
The next way mainly focuses on what happens in an community. The flooding would make transportation very hard. This would obviously make commute and traffic very very slow. This would stop people from getting to their jobs on time. Also, driving would not only be dangerous, but it could make your car stop working! You may not even be able to go out and see if friends and family are okay! This is how floods affect transportation in a community.

How Oil Spills affect the biosphere
Oil spills effect the biosphere, even when it happens in the hydrosphere. One way is the oil finds its way onto shores and the oil gets on animals such as birds and their wings get caught together and they cant move, like the picture below
Other animals that live near water can also be affected. They can get sick and even die!(As we will show you in the video.) As you can see, the animals environment was greatly affected and these animals live in the biosphere. The shoreline will be stained black because of the oil,ruining the beach. The oil spill in the video was the Exxon Valdez Oil spill. This spill happened in Alaska's Prince William Sound in Alaska, as shown in the picture below.
As you can see, things that cause problems in the hydrosphere can also cause trouble in the biosphere.
