Mini Project - Tornado

Posted by Miki Huang in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 8:52 pm

As seen attached to this post, my group and I had decided to create a power point as out visual. From this mini-project, I have learned that the earth systems affect each other in a variety of ways. For example, tornadoes are formed when there is an imbalance of temperature in the atmosphere, during a thunderstorm. The thrashing movement of the wind can toss debris, and other object around from the lithosphere. This can harm the organism in the biosphere and cause pollution in the hydrosphere. Our understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters, by understanding the causes and patterns of these disaster. It can help us better prepare for them in the future. Some efforts we can make moving forward towards a more sustainable future is to minimize climate change, so that these natural disasters remain the way they have been before. Another thing we should do is to minimize the amount of litter. litter can cause our sewage systems to be clogged and during heavy rain it can cause the streets to flood and during storms the wind can blow those object around leading to people getting injured. I though that this was an interesting topic and one of the main things that stuck out to me was that the tornado kept in constant contact with the atmosphere and lithosphere. However this left me thinking about how people got to the eye of the storm if they ever did get caught in the tornado.

Natural Disasters: Floods

Posted by Shaiann Desvignes in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 5:58 pm

​when floods occur you can find a slight change of the humidity as the atmosphere absorbs water from floods making more air mass as well as increase the evaporation in the atmosphere. Floods affect the biosphere too, because when it floods it alters and destroys the environment and habitats. Floods affect the hydrosphere by changing and destroying rivers and lakes. Floods do not affect the lithosphere. If you have knowledge in environmental studies it could you by being able to figure out how to inform people on the subject. We can introduce better systems to prevent floods and other natural disasters.

Natural Disasters

Posted by Ayanna Russell in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 2:55 pm

Earth system affect and interact with each other through the movement of energy. The systems influence climate change if a trigger occurs within the other. Understanding environmental science can help when aiding these disasters because if we comprehend the way atmosphere shifts when it rains then we can prepare ourselves the to have protective mask and other items during storms. Also, if we know the chemical impact of a storm we will be able to use less off compounds or rid of disaster inflicting chemicals. We can create a sustainable future by just being kind to our environment, taking time to learn our environment as well as treating it with care.

Natural Disasters and Earth System Research

Posted by Chelby Elam in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 12:45 am

We created a power point for our visual as we researched our natural disaster. The natural disaster we researched were sinkholes. A sinkhole is a natural disaster where a giant hole forms in the ground. It’s usually caused by collapse in the surface layer, erosion, or underground water. Sinkholes can be natural or man made. Sinkholes affect the hydrosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. From this we learned that all of the Earth systems are connected. If something bad happens to one it probably affects another one in a bad way. Our understanding of environmental science can aid in handling natural disasters because we know how the earth and its systems work and why these things happen. From that we can figure out what to do when these things happen. To create a sustainable future, we should cut down on trash that’s created, we can continue to find different modes of transportation and keep our underground updated by fixing things like water mains.
