Vincent Coleman Natural Disaster Project
1. How do the earth systems affect each other? The volcano mainly affects the geosphere, but the eruption causes smoke to enter the Atmosphere as well. The magma is a danger to the biosphere. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? It can allow us to educate ourselves on what different natural disasters do and how to avoid the damage they cause. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Do our best to keep the Earth clean and educate each other on how it works.
Sammed Monk-Tornadoes
1. How do the earth systems affect each other? The atmosphere is the primary factor in a tornado. A zone of humid moist air colliding with dry cold air forms a funnel that will spiral down to the ground to create a tornado. This is an example of the interaction between the geosphere and atmosphere because this typically only happens over flat land. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? People can better prepare for tornadoes by looking to the skies to see if there is a funnel forming near them. Another tip to avoid a tornado is if you are running from one and it seems like it isn't moving that means it is getting closer to you slowly. They do only last around 10 minutes so anyone one that hides in a bunker will most likely be safe. THERE ARE NO SAFE ZONES IN A TORNADO AND THE INSIDE IS MORE TURBULANT THAN THE OUTSIDE!! 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Clean energy is one of the things that can help us become a more sustainable country. The Paris accords are a promise to reduce greenhouse gases produced and create clean energy but former president trump pulled us out and president biden has chosen not to sign back into it. Your reaction to your findings and overall project I knew most of the things about tornadoes that we did this in this project so I don't know what to say what to say in this section but the model was pretty fun.
Michael Goren - Tornadoes
How do the earth systems affect each other? The earth systems affect each other by cause and effect. The atmosphere causes warm and dry cold air to meet. The Hydrosphere provides a thunderstorm that leads to prime conditions of a tornado. Water droplets from the mesocyclones moist air form a funnel cloud. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? An understanding in environmental science can aid in handling natural disasters by knowing how to take safety ,how to use it to prevent them, and being able to predict them. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? The efforts we can make to create a sustainable future are being aware of what affects our environment in bad ways. We need to make sure we have the right technology to protect ourselves and being able to predict the outcomes of our actions.
Aliou Sow- VOLCANOES
1. How do the earth systems affect each other?- The atmosphere provides the hydrosphere with rainwater, and with that, the atmosphere also provides the geosphere with the energy needed for rock breakdown, and last but not least the biosphere which receives heat, gases, and sunlight it needs from the atmosphere. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? - It can aid in handling natural disasters by helping you learn how to prepare for what will happen. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?- We could prepare for natural disasters to then create a sustainable future.
Justin Gatewood Natural Disasters
1. How do the earth systems affect each other? They’re all interconnected. When one is affected then another can be affected as well. Such as plants (biosphere) collecting water (hydrosphere) to live and also drawing nutrients from the ground (geosphere). 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Knowing what you’re dealing with and how to deal with it is essential in taking the right steps to safety. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Educating ourselves, cleaning up after ourselves, and being conscious about the decisions we make every day. My reaction: I liked this project. It enlightened me on just how often things like natural disasters happen me how they impact communities, especially smaller ones.
Patrick Hannon
1. How do the earth systems affect each other? The atmosphere supplies the geosphere with the heat and energy needed for rock extraction and erosion. The geosphere, in turn, reflects solar energy back into the atmosphere. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight energy from the atmosphere. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? It can help you with natural disasters cause you will learn what affects the disaster. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? We can help with these natural disasters by being able to prepare for them when they happened.
Gabriel Gunter- Tsunamis
1. How do the earth systems affect each other? The earth systems affect each other because earthquakes can lead to tsunamis and then tsunamis which is the hydrosphere and also earthquakes can lead to the destruction of life which is the biosphere and earthquakes which started it all in the Geosphere. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? It can aid because having an understanding of these natural disasters is a good way for us to know how to get away or survive one if they ever occur. It gives us the knowledge to know what to do. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Things that we can do are keep our world safe. It's really the simple things sometimes that matter. Keeping things clean, not polluting the air using fossil fuels global warming, and if we can do those things we can keep our world safe.
Janae- Earthquakes
1. How do the earth systems affect each other? Speaking of the effect on earth systems in terms of earthquakes they can lead to other natural disasters like landslides, tsunami’s, etc. Landslides affect the lithosphere and tsunamis affect the hydrosphere. Landslides have an impact on the surface shape of the lithosphere and causes it to change. Tsunami’s have an impact on the hydrosphere because the water becomes polluted. 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? Having an understanding of environmental science can aid in handling natural disasters because we can begin to limit the negative impact that we have on the earth and all of its systems. We can reduce our pollution, carbon emissions, etc. Because the more we know the better we can prepare and get ready for what's soon to come. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? We can reduce, reuse, and recycle.We can also begin to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and reduce our carbon footprint. My Reaction: My initial reaction to this project was that there are more earthquakes that happen on a day to day basis. After doing research I found out that larger earthquakes only occur approximately once a year but there can be several hundred smaller earthquakes daily.
Kylee Natural Disaters
When rainfall is less than normal for a period of weeks to years, streamflows decline, water levels in lakes and reservoirs fall, and the depth of water in wells increases. If dry weather persists and water supply problems develop, the dry period can become a drought An understanding of environmental science can lead to solutions. How can something is fixed if no one knows what's wrong? We can try to get everyone to realize there is a problem. There will also have to be sacrifices made.
