  1. How do earth systems affect each other? In a natural example, for example, Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (geosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere).

  2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Everyday life can be disturbed by natural disasters it is very important to study them in order to improve their prediction, prevention, to allay their consequences.

  3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? The efforts we can make is to keep putting out safety awareness about natural disasters and to educate everyone about what causes natural disasters.

Environmental Science: Volcanoes

Posted by Chayna Holliday in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at 6:56 pm

The earth systems affect each other because if one is disrupted so is another. For example, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere work together to carry out evaporation and precipitation. With the biosphere and the atmosphere, the biosphere uses energy and gases from the air. Also, the geosphere put oxygen into the atmosphere.the understanding of environmental science can help handling natural disasters because it gives us a better understanding of why they are happening. It can also be helpful by knowing how we can prepare for them. Efforts we can make to create a sustainable future by stop polluting the atmosphere with natural gases, recycle and stop polluting the oceans. My reaction to my finding were shocked. I didn't know all these things worked together.

Environmental Science: Tsunami

Posted by Daniel Hagos in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at 3:11 pm

1. How do the earth systems affect each other? In a natural example, for example, one devastation can trigger another sphere to form. Evaporation brings water into the air and atmosphere brings it back down. Or the biosphere gives off a certain temperature that is crucial for survival. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters by giving out tips to ensure safety and survival. if we know that a tsunami is coming we know that it would have to do with water and in result the atmosphere. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? The efforts we can make keep putting out safety precautions and being updated with the weather https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JnW_iCtsxo&feature=youtu.be

Natural Disasters and Earth Systems Research Project

Posted by Kelly Wiggins in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at 3:50 am

Three of earth systems affect each other inside of a Tornado including the atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), geosphere (land). The way that all four of these systems affect each other is the tornado starts with the first system atmosphere (air) because winds start picking up speed and the tornado starts to form. Then the hydrosphere (water) starts happening because the thunderstorm starts happening, mixing the high-speed winds in the atmosphere with the storm. lastly, the Geosphere (land) starts taking place because once the tornado starts spinning then the tornado starts moving taking over the land. Sadly biosphere (life) is included because people's lives are in danger when tornadoes happen and things in people's daily lives get messed up like cars, houses and even people's lives get taken. Those are the ways that Earth's systems affect each other in a tornado. Honestly, even though you have an understanding of environmental science aid it’s nothing in my opinion that you can do to stop a natural disaster, especially something like a tornado. However, I think if you have an understanding of it you can understand why it’s happening and you can prepare faster because you might know it’s coming. To create a sustainable future we can let others know what’s going on so we can save lives. Maybe if people knew it was coming that would give people prep time. Even telling people what to do such as to get under “get under something sturdy” could save a life. My reaction to my finding is very interesting because I never actually researched tornado, so I think that it was cool to know how a tornado starts. Tornadoes are dangerous but the way that it starts up and the way that all the systems do connect to make the tornado happen is shocking and exciting.

sink holes

Posted by Nya Hardin in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at 11:34 pm

All of the earth systems help one another function. Such as the Atmosphere and Biosphere work together to make photosynthesis using the oxygen from the atmosphere and the plants from the biosphere. The atmosphere is also the main source of transferring radiation and providing the geosphere with heat. The Geosphere has water running through it on several of its layers. Such as rivers and oceans are formed in the ground. The geosphere can also be broken down by organisms in the biosphere. If one knows how each of the systems affect each other, they can find out the weaknesses of each. Such as knowing what to do when a hurricane happens because we know how strong the wind can be on certain parts of the biosphere. In order to create a sustainable future, we can make an effort into living the way we want while trying to make the earth a better place to live on. We could find ways to prevent these natural disasters that are caused by the things we do like our overuse of fossil fuels. Based on what I’ve found, sinkholes are very interesting, yet underrated. I never thought that one could form just by water building up and breaking the surface layer of the Geosphere. I also didn’t know about all the other spheres in could effect. Such as the biosphere through its risk in damaging plants and other living organisms along its way.

Tsunami

Posted by Cristy Perez in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at 11:13 pm

The earth systems are parts that work together as a whole and involves a flow of matter in different parts. The atmosphere (air), the hydrosphere (water), The geosphere (land), and Biosphere (life) all have a connection since they all have their certain role. Whether it’s a positive or negative outcome some may vary depending on the climate and weather. NO, they are no the same thing. Well, environmental science can help to have a better understanding of natural disasters. Such as geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. To be able to learn more about each one and have a better understanding of why each role plays a part in natural disasters. I believe that as a whole we can maintain a healthy future. We just have to take action instead of reposting pictures of the world dying. We clearer see that but by reposting a picture won’t solve the problem. It’s our turn to make a change. Yes, we can start off little by little. My reaction to the finding is very interesting because I already knew how hard Tsunami can hit but I learned how much it can affect the people who receive them. I personally can’t prepare myself mentally and stability because I’ve never been in the situation but for those who have is very hard since it is a process and they don’t know where to go half of the time because it’s such a small community depending on where it is.

Systems impact

Posted by Saniyyah Byrd in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at 11:11 pm

1. How do the earth systems affect each other? All of the Earth systems depend on one another. The hydrosphere and atmosphere carry out evaporation and precipitation. The hydrosphere adds moisture and erosion to rocks, and the geosphere puts the water back into the oceans. The atmosphere gives the geosphere heat and energy then the geosphere puts the energy back into the atmosphere. The biosphere gets gases, heat, and energy from the atmosphere. It receives water from the hydrosphere and a living medium from the geosphere. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? : It will be easier to find solutions about what to do or how to prepare for a natural disaster. By doing this it will cost less money to fix the damage and more people will stay alive. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?: Make people aware of what is still going on. Tell them about the risk this will have on them and help them start to make a change. Reaction to findings: I was shocked to find out that volcanic eruptions cannot be prevented. It is bound to happen no matter the circumstances. https://eschooltoday.com/earth-system/interaction-of-the-earths-sphere.html

Natural Disasters and Earth Systems Research

Posted by Elijah Bey in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at 9:45 pm

A reflection answering the Essential Questions (on canvas home page) 1. How do the earth systems affect each other? The earth systems affect each other because each other and the biosphere, they work together to influence the climate, trigger geological processes, and affect life all over the Earth. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? When getting a better understanding of environmental science aid it help us get a better understanding of what is going on instead of just think what may not be true or half way true. This class helps improve awareness what’s happening on Earth. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Honestly for most of these natural disasters is something we can’t stop. But giving everyone a heads up about these disasters can come a big way. They may save plenty of people. Your reaction to your findings. When me and my group collaborate to find much more information on Tornadoes. It gave me a much understanding of what we may be dealing with in certain places. Some cities get hit by tornadoes twice a year. Never knew that so many places can be affected by this natural disaster.

Natural Disasters: Tsunami

Posted by Catherine Martinez in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · A s1 on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at 11:49 am

The earth systems such as the Hydrosphere, the Geosphere and, the Biosphere affect each other because of how the Tsunami damages the systems. Tsunamis happen because of earthquakes or underwater volcanic eruptions. The amount of salt in the water can get contaminated by groundwater which affects the soil that is on the Geosphere. If the soil in the geosphere is contaminated, it could affect how life will grow or not in the Biosphere. There could be diseases due to the amount of salt in the groundwater and an increase in solubility of water, that can prevent plants from growing. If people don't get to higher ground as well, people can get possibly drown. If people get a better understanding of environmental science then people would understand why natural disasters happen. People can find efficient ways to help recover what was damaged after a natural disaster occurred. Moreover, people can find ways to detect if a natural disaster is about to happen or if one is happening at that moment. We the people can create some sort of emergency hatch so people can go in whenever there is a natural disaster happening. If there are other natural disasters such as forest fires then we can have people on deck to get to the fire and tame it. The plante is where we live, it is very fragile right now and we have to do everything we can to protect it. I honestly think that Tsunamis are insane because they can get very large and terrifying. Since Tsunamis are from the ocean, the ocean is mostly salty. The amount of Salt can really damage an ecosystem since some plants on land need freshwater and salt can dehydrate the plant.

Each earth systems affects each other by each system giving off energy in order for each one to operate correctly. For example, the atmosphere consists of air including with elements such as carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. By the elements being present in the biosphere, they can be absorbed for all the living forms to use such as animals breathing in oxygen and releasing the carbon dioxide back into the air. Then, the biosphere benefits from the hydrosphere of the system consisting of water and water being an essential natural resource that helps make plants grow. By the plants growing the geosphere is healthy by the soil being fertilized. Also, by understanding the earth systems and why they are important benefits our understanding when we face an issue in our environment that could be simply solved by our own knowledge from the environmental science class. For example, in the US we face some seasons in which we get a lot of rain that causes flooding and we could solve this by creating devices that can capture the water for another source to help the environment than flooding homes. Furthermore, to help the future be sustainable we could focus more on climate change in how it’s affecting all living features and we need to create more action plans towards making beneficial changes in our daily routines that cause conflicts. For instance, when our factories are creating objects they are polluting the air and this causes our air quality to be unhealthy and it affects us humans health plus doesn’t benefit the plants that cause them to decay. Then, with humans, we develop health issues. In conclusion, in our findings, we realized that our natural disaster of tornadoes affects most of the earth systems in areas that receive windy and thunderstom conditions.
