Natural Disasters & Earth System: Flood in Sierra Leone

Natural Disasters & Earth Systems
Reflection:

The Earth is made up of four spheres. The systems are Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere. The Atmosphere is the mass of air that is around the Earth to protect it. Biosphere is responsible for maintaining life. Geosphere is the Earth's crust and matter/land. Lastly, hydrosphere is all water that makes up the Earth.

Each system plays a role in Natural Disasters. When researching about Sierra Leone I found out that when system is affected by climate change it can trigger another system to react. For example, the heavy rains (hydrosphere) in Sierra Leone caused over saturated grounds which triggered a mudslide. Understanding environmental science can cause awareness to what human activities effects our Earth systems. To create a sustainable future I think that it can be possible reduce all the human activities (i.e. mining, construction) then that can benefit the systems.
