Hurricanes

Hurricane affects the earth’s systems in the way that it keeps the global temperature in check (warm and cool air). On the flip side, it can cause coastal erosion (geosphere) due to the surge of water.

Understanding environmental science can help you handle natural disasters by knowing what causes them so you can be aware if one is likely to come. Being informed about your environment can also help you take steps that will aid the community’s recovery after the onset of a natural disaster.
