Ionic bonds are between metals and are permanent and very strong. They could hardly be called an attraction. This happens when one atom steals another atoms electron. Covalent bonds are strong but occurs between two different atoms they are also permanent to in this bond they share electrons and not take away. Hydrogen bonds are temporary and occur between molecules that have hydrogen and molecules that have elements like oxygen which become attracted to the hydrogen. These are weak but when they build up they can become very strong.

A drought causes a wildfire which destroys a forest. Which Earth systems interact during this process? (1 point) Select one: a.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

It is the biosphere and hydrosphere that interact when a drought causes a wildfire that destroys a forest. 

Explanation:

Hydrosphere consists of all the water bodies of earth like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes etc. a drought occurs due to scarcity of water which affects the hydrosphere. The scarcity of water causes plants and trees to dry up and become more prone to catching fire

Biosphere includes all the living organisms of the earth. It includes plants, trees, birds, insects, animals etc. A drought dries up a whole area and a small fire that starts up somewhere in a forest would then engulf the whole forest.
