My group chose to research Tsunamis and created a slideshow in order to inform our audience. I personally knew the general idea of what a Tsunami was and where it usually strikes, however I learned more about how they are formed and how we can prevent them. I also learned a lot more about the different spheres that make up the earth which include; cryosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.  

         ​My group and I decided to research wildfires. While creating the project, I found that there were some things about wildfires that I knew previously, and some things that I had not known. For example, I knew that humans are one of the main causes of wildfires, but I did not realize that a larger percentage of people than I thought started wildfires by committing arson. All in all, the project helped me to further my understanding of how Earth's systems affect each other. Each of the systems has an important role, and they bounce off of each other. For example, a fire can start in the biosphere, but it can cause carbon dioxide to travel to the atmosphere. By knowing this, and by knowing how wildfires are caused, we can take the actions to prevent them. Mostly, this is being careful around fires and flammable objects, being more knowledgeable about them, and spreading that information to others.

  Natural disasters do have an affect on earth systems.  An example specific to our natural disaster would be how a volcanic eruption would take place in the exosphere , but would affect the water in the hydrosphere. such as the ocean. The water cycle would then take place again with the acidic water and intern affect the geosphere. It's like similar to the human body on how depend they are on one another . If you can't walk then you have to use more of the muscles in other parts of your body to keep moving. This would cause stress which is similar to the process earth systems share. 

The earth systems all play a huge part in natural disasters, the topic we chose never happens in my part of the U.S. (Philadelphia) but I had no problem with researching how they affect other parts of the world.
