Tornadoes

Posted by Amir Leaphart-Curry in Environmental Science · Aziz · C on
​Tornadoes impact earth systems in many ways. There is a massive transfer of energy when Tornadoes occur. Most of the time that energy comes from the atmosphere and is stored in the form of potential energy in the water vapor of a supercell storm. Regarding the earth's system, no system is isolated. They all interact with each other and impact each other. In discovering tornadoes and how they form, the connections of each of the earth's systems are observable, especially how the atmosphere impacts the biosphere. If we understand how natural disasters impact the earth, then we can better prepare for them. We know that increased moisture in the air enables the likelihood of Tornadoes.to be more prevalent, so if we do not work to curb global warming, tornadoes will be more likely. We can prepare to be safe from tornadoes by taking elementary steps like staying in cellars or away from windows when they strike. But the broader point is working to slow global working.

Earthquakes Aren't That Bad (joking they're terrible)

Essential Questions: 

1. Events from from Earth system could affect every other Earth system.

2. If you know what environmental science aid is, you can protect yourself and others as well as always be prepared for a natural disaster.

3. I think if we get everyone at least semi ready for things like natural disasters as well as other things, the world will be a safer place and it will make our future seem less grim. 

My reaction to this project is that it was pretty fun. At first I felt as though we weren't prepared but after getting it done and submitting, I think it was a cool project and I learned things I haven't learned before.

​1. How do the earth systems affect each other?
The movements of materials or energy going through each system

2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? 
It helps in protecting yourself and people and also not starting any yourself

3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?
Take better care of the O Zone layer and our environment in general and don't start any disasters yourself like forest fires

Tornadoes

​The earth's systems interact with each other by the transformation of energy from the different spheres of the earth. For example tornadoes are a mix of energies such as; kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, and chemical energy. The understanding of environmental science can aid us during natural disasters by us knowing whats in the air and how to stay safe from the dangerous particles. It also tells us what signs there are which can help us understand the type of natural disaster. I feel as though the changing in the climate due to global warming can help keep a sustainable future, because we will conserve the energy we get so we won't run out.

Volcanic Eruptions

The earth systems affect each other by causing global warming, animals and plants. 
The understanding of the environmental science aid in handling natural disasters will prevent less death and more safety cautions. An effort that we can make to create a sustainable future is treating our environment with better care.

Natural Disasters and Earths Systems Research

Posted by Jadaline Torres in Environmental Science · Aziz · C on

Earth's systems all rely on one another in different ways. Earth's systems include the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. Depending on what it is, these systems can affect each other positively and negatively. Positively would include examples like recycling more or negatively would include natural disasters like wildfires. Wildfires are fires that can be caused naturally based off of natural causes like hot air. With the understanding of environmental science or how these wildfires are caused, we can decreases the chances of a wildfire with options like avoiding smoking, stop throwing trash in forest areas, cleaning up dry plants that could cause fuels etc. With efforts like this and more, we can create a more sustainable future for our earth.

1. How do the earth systems affect each other?

They all depend on each other in some way. The earth needs all the systems work together in order to keep the Earth alive.  

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

It really can't aid in handling natural disasters because they are natural but there are ways we can help when it's going on. We can also have our environment clean. 

3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?

Keep the environment clean. 


Tornadoes in the Hydrosphere

​The hydrosphere is the flow of water, and all the water on the earth’s surface. The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the earth. After researching tornadoes and it's different affects in earth's systems, i found out that tornadoes in the hydrosphere were waterspouts. waterspouts are referred as tornadoes of the sea, because that is essentially what they are. While they hardly have affect on America, I was able to find that they affect Italy, where there are around 71 waterspouts per year. They aren't as serious as a tornado on the geosphere, but they do start chain reactions for whirlwinds, heavy rain, flooding, and hail.

I found waterspouts interesting because they have never directly done a lot of damage, since they take place in the ocean, but there is a beauty to it. Waterspouts can hit peninsulas (like italy), but it is a rare occasion that they do tremendous damage.

there isn't much we can really do to stop a waterspout, as much as we can stop a tornado, it's best to just not be by the shore. They're like a hurricane- tornado hybrid.

For this my group decided to create a tornado with cotton balls, tin foil, and a few miscellaneous objects. After a few glue burns to the fingers, we created a tornado on the geosphere with safety tips, as well as slides with each of our parts describing how tornadoes affect all of earth.

1. How do the earth systems affect each other?

  • All Earth’s systems affect each other by being all closely connected, basically being all tied to keep the earth a living planet.

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

  • If they understand more about natural disasters, they are prepared for what could happen, by knowing signs, or when it does happen, they can help out the best they can.

3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?

  • Help each others understand important things, like natural disasters, so they can benefit as well.


W.A.L.L and Tsunamis

1. Earth systems affect each other because they are constantly transferring energy one way or another. They are interconnected.
2. If someone understands why natural disasters happen they can better prepare for it because they know what causes it and know how to look for the signs.
3.We can build better buildings that can withstand natural disasters and also set up more places for people to go while they occur.
W.A.L.L with the cuties ;)
