How do the earth systems affect each other?

The Earth’s atmosphere is important in the creation of storms. A hurricane gets its energy from warm ocean water. When sea surface temperatures rise, evaporation occurs and latent heat energy is released into the atmosphere.

How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters?

Understanding environmental science may help in dealing with natural disasters by monitoring natural phenomena such as weather patterns, ocean currents, and river levels in order to predict natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, and, of course, hurricanes. Because of the early warning, communities can prepare and evacuate, decreasing the loss of life and property.
