Basically, the atmosphere gives the geosphere heat and energy so the geosphere gives back the energy given by the atmosphere back to it. The biosphere receives heat, and sunlight from the atmosphere. In which the hydrosphere gets the heat of the energy. An understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters can give us more knowledge of how we are affecting the environment. It's really important to understand what is being damaged and what are ways we can solve this issue. There are many ways we can create a sustainable future. Such as staying away from products that harm nature. Like plastic, paper and etc. Sustainable Arrangements helps eliminate the use of products to create a healthy environment. Typically at normal restaurants, there are plastic straws but in this one there is mental straws to stop using plastic to damage the ocean. With the food, everything is grown in the garden and there is no animal product. When making the restaurant it was fun painting it and learning about how normal restaurants affect the environment. This was fun overall.

The Earth systems all affect each other in a continuous cycle. For example, The hydrosphere provides habitats and nutrition for aquatic life and plants in the biosphere. Next, it can It can evaporate into the atmosphere and can break apart soil in the geosphere which also provides habitats for certain biospheres like plants and animals. The soil in the geosphere also contains air which goes into the atmosphere, while the atmosphere provides air for the biosphere to breath. This air can then precipitate as rain, which sends it back into the hydrosphere. Learning all of this we can help create a sustainable future by learning how to conserve and reuse resources rather than using them all up only to look for more. Take clothing, for example: instead of throwing away all of our old clothes when we don't need them anymore we can learn to recycle clothes so that they can be taken apart and reused to make newer and better clothing, while at the same time sacrificing fewer resources. Doing this has helped me realize that we can still create a sustainable future by simply learning to reuse and recycle.

1. How do the earth systems affect each other? They affect each other by either supporting each other or having other things flow through them. For example, the biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere are all affected by forest fires. Forest fires destroy living plants, release carbon dioxide into the air, and change soil. An example of support is photosynthesis. The atmosphere carries the clouds, the hydrosphere is the reason for water being in those clouds, and the biosphere gets water in order to grow plants. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Understanding environmental science can help because people would be more well-informed, would know why a disaster is happening, and would know what to do when/if one occurs. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Definitely recycle and encourage others to do so. Going on strike for the climate could maybe work but recycling is a more direct defense against climate change. My reactions to researching this topic were pretty predictable. I knew how dangerous tsunamis were and I wanted to portray that in both of the visuals.

The earths systems affect each other because they all work together to make up the world. For example the biosphere gets to stay active from the atmosphere. The biosphere couldn’t survive without most of the spheres. We could have a better understanding just by doing simple research that we are apart of the problem of having natural disasters. My reaction is that we need to find something that can fix natural disasters just like how we find something that fixes every thing else. I was very surprised on how much drought really does happen and how much it affects because if we lived in a dry world we would all end up dead. It was interesting to research.

1. How do earth systems affect each other? - The four spheres of the earth are the Atmosphere (air), Biosphere (life), Hydrosphere (water), and Geosphere (land). They are all connected to each other and when one sphere changes it affects the others as well but it can either be a good change or bad change. An example could be the biosphere and atmosphere, the atmosphere helps provide sunlight to the biosphere which then transforms the sunlight to photosynthesis for the plants to grow. The plants then help provide oxygen that is released into the atmosphere. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? - Getting a better understanding of environmental science gives better insight into how natural disasters happen, this helps know what to be prepared for in case a natural disaster happens. Knowing what different natural disasters do is also a way to learn how to be ready for it. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? - Though we cannot prevent natural disasters we are causing them to happen more often, climate change happens to be a big reason so we can find ways to prevent climate change. Another effort we can make to help us in the future is to have a better alert system for when these natural disasters happen as well as giving our support to those who have been affected by it. My reaction: During my research on Tsunamis I learned a lot more about them and what effect they have. Tsunamis can harm both the atmosphere and hydrosphere because of all the debris and trash it takes which can pollute the air and ocean. They are also caused by earthquakes which occur first. Having a better understanding of this natural disaster helped me know what to do in those situations if it ever happens.

Earth systems are a continuous cycle in which can create natural disasters, each system feeds off each other to either help or hurts the earth. Starting with the atmosphere which is mostly gas elements in the top layers of the earth elements like Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Etc. These elements help other systems like the biosphere in which humans, animals, and plants breathe in oxygen and out carbon. The geosphere which is another system which affects the land meaning rocks, mountains, Etc. The hydrosphere also works with the atmosphere to create rainstorms and water vapor in the air. For the last couple of weeks, we as a class have been looking into Earth’s systems and their effect on nature. My group and I decided that we would do Tornadoes. We had to figure out which systems helped create these big natural disasters. The atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere work together to create tornadoes. First cold dry air mixes with warm wet air which collides and then making an air pocket which a funnel is created and forms a tornado. As a future scientist, it is important to know and understand how we can help when it comes to natural disasters. Although we can not prevent natural disasters there are certain things we can do to take preventative measures to ensure safety for our people.

Essential Questions 1. How do earth systems affect each other? Each earth system provides and takes away something from one another. The atmosphere provides a barrier against ultralight for the biosphere. The hydrosphere takes minerals from the geosphere. The hydrosphere gives water to the biosphere. It's all a big cycle. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Understanding environmental science can give you insight into how natural disasters form so you can be able to prevent and prepare for them. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? We can lessen some effects that we might have on the other spheres to cause less natural disasters. Reaction to my findings I've learned from my research that sinkholes form by water eroding the surface layer rock causing the earth to collapse. Sinkholes are uncommon in a lot of places but in some places like Florida, they can be very frequent.

The earth systems that we were researching are geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. A few ways that they affect or interact with each other; Evaporation from the hydrosphere causes clouds and rain in the atmosphere. The atmosphere brings the rain back to the hydrosphere. The atmosphere provides energy for the biosphere. When a volcano erupts gas and ash is released into the air (atmosphere) which also kills the plants and makes it difficult for the animals in the area to find food (biosphere) when it gets to the water it warms the water up (hydrosphere) also the eruptions are strong enough to change, destroy and create new rocks. An understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters, by giving you a heads up on what to do if one happened. All we can do is stay on high alert of we are ever near any volcanoes. I was so amazed by how much these natural disasters affect the earth systems
