Climate Impact On Mexico's Four Sphere's

Lithosphere-  The Raising of temperatures will cause the soil to dry up and Mexico's deserts will spread.
-  When The soil dries up the soil will turn to sand and farmers will not be able to grow crops because the soil will be infertile.
- The temperatures cause the ice up north to melt and sea levels to raise so the raising water will flood the low level coastal vegetated wetlands and Mexico will lose land mass.
- Semi desert areas will become deserts.

Hydrosphere-  The raising temperatures have killed large regions of coral reef around Mexico and this effects tourism and will hurt Mexico's already struggling economy.
- The death of the carol reefs will kill off many spieces of fish that depend on the reefs for survivol and this hurts the fishing industry and tourism.
- Co2 concentration raises in the sea and kills fish in the sea including fish in Mexico.
- Water inland will dry up so rivers that farmers depend on for cattle will disappear.
- Farmers will not have enough rain fall from raising temperatures to water crops.
- The increasing heat will dry up the soil and decreasing rainfall will leave the land dry and cracked.

Atmosphere- the Increasing amount of Co2 being put in the air and traps sun rays from escaping and causes the air to get hotter.
- The hot air evaporates water from the earth leaving it drier in Mexico then before.
- Hurricanes will become more common and may kill many people as well as crops and buildings which will hurt the economy.
- Draughts will also become more in common and crops will die and farmers will struggle to keep themselves alive let alone their cattle.
- Because the soil gets drier the winds will pick up the thin dirt and sand and creat dust bowls over the desert areas and semi desert areas which could destroy Mexican crops.

Biosphere- Mexican tropical and sub  tropical rain forests will dry up as the desert expands.
- Insect migrating patterns will change.
- Coral reefs die in major parts of Mexico hurting tourism.
- Fish native to the reefs in Mexico that depend on the reefs for survival will die and entire foods chains will be destroyed.
- As the concentration of co2 in the water raises fish in Mexico will die due to the lack of oxygen and this will hurt Mexican economy as well as food supplies for people.
- Animals will starve as the vegetation in the forests and semi deserts die in the heat.
- 60% of Mexican native butterflies are extinct and/or endangered.
- Higher temperatures might increase the amount of heat strokes in Mexicans in desert areas.
-As fish, animals and crops die Mexicans in rural areas will not have enough food or water to sustain themselves.
- Trees will dry up and die and people will be limited to what they can build houses with.
