Natural Disaster Mini Project: Volcanoes
One of my first reactions to the information I found was all of this seems like common sense. For example, oceans can become more acidic because of the ash that falls in them causing the animals that call the ocean home to die. However, there was one thing that I didn't find common sense. The fact that volcanoes can cause tsunamis. I didn't know that, so I found it interesting. Besides that, there was nothing I scoffed at. To answer the first essential question based off of my research I found out that the volcanoes (geosphere) can affect all of the other systems in many different ways. Like it can cause the wildlife in the hydrosphere to die and fill the atmosphere with ash either cooling or heating the earth. Not all effects are bad though. In the biosphere, volcanic eruptions kill plants, but the volcanic soil is so rich that the plants come back better than ever. The things we know about environmental science could help us in case of a volcanic eruption because it'll let us know what we can to do fix the problems that occur after the eruption. There’s nothing you can really do when it comes creating a sustainable future because they can be so damaging. It’s more just damage control after it happens.
Based off my peers feedback, I don't think we have to change anything about the presentation of the information on it. However, the visual could've been better. Some students said that the drawings weren't up to par, but I disagree. The thing I do agree with though is the fact that we didn't have any labels. Presenting, it was a little hard to know what information was which, so I just went through what I knew.
