when all the systems or just some of them all do something. they can create small or large scale natural disaster such as tsunamis or volcano. when there is a tsunami the systems that take part in it are the hydrosphere because it is water, the biosphere because it is an ecosystem where organisms live, and the geosphere because part of the geosphere is the hydrosphere. so when all these work together it creates events.
