In this video, we talked about heat islands. They form around homes with a lot of sunshine and not a lot of trees. This is important because most of Philadelphia itself is a heat island. I picked this topic because of my own experience living in a heat island. During the Summer, without air conditioning, my house can be just as hot as outside. My group members also live in areas of Philadelphia without a lot of tree coverage.

I think something that could have been different if we could have shown where we lived and how little to no trees there are that would make our house overheated during really hot and sunny days. That would have been more visually pleasing to the reader to understand how that works.

The most meaningful part of the video is explaining what things you could do to keep yourself cool.

1. Earth systems affect each other because one natural disaster can lead to another. Like an earthquake making a tsunami. These are 2 different systems basically interacting.
2. By studying natural disasters, we can better understand how they work and the threats they pose.
3. I was surprised that earthquakes can actually cause other natural disasters.
