How do the earth’s systems affect each other? The earth’s system is just like any other world cycle. The ways we affect our earth’s surface, with the things we not only take from it but the things we put into it like oils and chemicals. If one of the earth’s systems becomes disrupted or tampered it can really detriment the earth’s natural cycle.

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

Many National Disasters are caused by some means of environmental science, for example, tsunamis are formed through shifts in tectonic plates which Is a form of matter in kinetic energy. Environmental Science is a great way of getting to know your environment and finding ways to get around certain events.

My Project Reflection:

To reflect on my team’s project, I feel as though we all put our mutual skills together to form a great explanation and visual replica. Our vision was to create a well-put-together explanation of tsunamis and how they were created and I enjoyed having a group with a mutual interest in the science behind Tsunami’s
