Natural Disasters and Earth Systems-Earthquakes
- How do earth systems affect each other?-Earth systems are all connected by energy flow or matter. In this case, earthquakes(part of the geosphere) are responsible for the formation of tsunamis.
- How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters?-If we learn more ways to prevent or stop earthquakes we would be able to prevent casualties and millions of dollars to fix damages.
- What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?-Start by avoiding the changes to the geological formation.
My reaction to our findings was surprising, I wouldn’t have ever thought that the hydrosphere and the geosphere would be connected, especially when it comes to natural disasters.
