How do the earth systems affect each other?

Earth’s major systems interact with each other in multiple ways to affect Earth’s surface materials and processes. These systems are all connected. For example, water (Hydrosphere) helps plants grow (Biosphere), and those plants can break down rocks (Geosphere). So, changes in one system can affect the others.

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

Environmental science lets us understand why and how natural disasters happen, which can help us guess when they might happen next. For instance, looking at patterns in the earth’s movement can give us a heads up about earthquakes. In the same way, studying weather patterns can help us know when hurricanes and storms might be coming.
