Justin Gatewood Natural Disasters

1. How do the earth systems affect each other? They’re all interconnected. When one is affected then another can be affected as well. Such as plants (biosphere) collecting water (hydrosphere) to live and also drawing nutrients from the ground (geosphere). 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Knowing what you’re dealing with and how to deal with it is essential in taking the right steps to safety. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Educating ourselves, cleaning up after ourselves, and being conscious about the decisions we make every day. My reaction: I liked this project. It enlightened me on just how often things like natural disasters happen me how they impact communities, especially smaller ones.
