How do the earth systems affect each other? - Earth systems affect each other by not being able to coexist without each other. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? - It can help you understand what is happening when a natural disaster occurs so you can be prepared when it actually happens. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? - We can clean up more often and stop polluting the air.

The earth systems affect each other because it’s a domino effect. For example, plants draw water (hydrosphere) and nutrients from the soil (geosphere) and release vapor into the atmosphere. Tsunamis affect damage the soil (geosphere), and waves cause extreme flooding. Understanding environmental science can help by having us prepared for whatever comes our way. We are able to forecast warnings for incoming natural disasters now with understanding of environmental science. In order to create a sustainable future, we must prepare for all things that may come our way. We have to ensure a healthy environment and in doing so, we must keep our place clean, ensuring to stop polluting and littering.

After researching wildfires, I have discovered the damage that they cause. Before this project, I didn't realize the amount of damage that they do end up causing. The earth's systems play an important role in keeping the earth up and running. Every sphere has a function that is critical to earth. The understanding of environmental science can be very helpful when it comes to handling natural disasters because it is important to know how it damages our systems and how we can resolve it.

1. How do the earth systems affect each other? If you follow the water cycle you can see how the different systems are affected plants take water from the soil and also realize water vapor in the air. so every action you take has a reaction. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Understanding how the different systems work helps us prevent or prepare us for how we disasters in the future if we know that tsunamis bring in lots of water destroying cities then we need to raise the buildings higher 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? we can take measures to react to the natural disasters to keep us safe and make them more efficient for the environment around us. https://create.piktochart.com/output/32487430-earth-system-research

How do the earth systems affect each other? Earth systems play a part in making things work. They combine things so there is a repeated cycle. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Helps prevent someone getting hurt and leaves people prepared. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Recycling, not littering, going green all takes a part in helping with the environment but also keeping other living organisms on track so that the flow of their cycle doesn’t mess up because it helps the earth systems.
