There seems to be a correlation between lead poisoning and poverty. And lead poisoning prevention agencies lack the funding required to help children. This problem is similar to segregation. Though black and white communities can live together now. Most choose not to. The white flight, which started near the 1960s, is still happening now. Apparently, the neighborhood is too "dangerous"; however, these people are just racist. The tax money goes to another neighborhood. And the poor, who are left behind, have less money to spend on housing and schools.

                    In this unit, we learned about how many people are affected by the lead posing and how traumatic it is for their families. kids as little as 6 years old are getting this posing and the saddest thing about research this topic is knowing that there cant do much after the effect which is so sad. Families are being affected in the low-class areas and lawyers that need to be hired for apartments that have this posing have a tendency to be to late to sue because the patient that had this toxic is desert or in medical attention. This is is sad also because it seems like there is no solution and also it doesn't seem to have a end for this traumatic era

Typhoon

Posted by Jhakur Hall in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on

My group and I choose to learn more about typhoons because we did not know much about the tropical cyclone. I never knew how typhoons affected out earth systems but after doing research I learned a lot and that helps me a lot cause I know how dangerous a typhoon can really be. For example how Typhoons affect the geosphere how can it create large gust of wind and how it can damage things like buildings.

Natural Disasters and Earth Systems- Earthquakes

Posted by Nahja Lewis in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on

Learning about earthquakes helped me understand how earth systems affect each other and how one natural disaster can cause another. An example was earthquakes. Once the tectonic plates move, they can possibly cause a tsunami. Learning about these disasters can help us know what we should if they should occur. It can help us what we can look forward to and what could possibly happen. To ensure we are safe, we should always have a safety plan.

We realized since the atmospheres on earth are interlinked with one another sharing the same global systems. May contribute a cause on one atmosphere but affecting another For example , geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and hydrosphere which we recently researched this project. Coming to a conclusion that one cause has the ability to affect different environments in various processes.

​My group worked on the affect of wildfires to the ecosystem, in my group I worked on how the wildfires affect the geosphere. The geosphere is considered the inner portion of the Earth system including, rocks, minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. 
It causes the interior structure to catch on fire and things be burned down into ashes, such as trees and lands. 
Positive way the burnt ashes of the trees, has minerals and vitamins in it to make the ground even richer.


Extreme heat from the sun and humid heat coming together and cause fires to start. Also lightning strikes hitting trees causing fires to start. According to pacific bio “Approximately 90% of fires in the last decade have been human-caused, either through negligence, accident or intentional arson. Some of the fires caused by accidents and negligent acts are through unattended campfires, sparks, irresponsibly discarded cigarettes and burning debris. The remaining 10% of fires are caused by lightning strikes, which are especially prevalent in the Western United States and Alaska.”
We can prevent it by being more careful when we are in the wilderness with fire, make sure you put out your fires. Be careful with extreme heat or any campfire, makes sure we don't have it catch anything flammable on fire. Don't throw away any waste that cause an instant combustion.

“Fire regime refers to the patterns of fire that occur over long periods of time, and the immediate effects of fire in the ecosystem in which it occurs.”
