Harmony Smith: Mudslides

Posted by Harmony Smith in Environmental Science · Sasso · A on Friday, October 7, 2022 at 11:18 pm

  1. Earth systems affect each other because they are able to contribute and build off of one another by associating energy and different materials
  2. It will allow people to know why these disasters happen, help get a better understanding of the earth’s systems, and how exactly they work.
  3. To make a more sustainable future we could make the effort to recycle more, use less plastic, limit food waste, and use less energy.

  1. how the earth systems affect each other for mudslides/landslides: mudslides(geosphere) can be fatal to humans and harm trees and other plants(biosphere). since there would be fewer humans, there wouldn’t be many trees being replanted which would lead to more carbon dioxide in the air(atmosphere). the soil(geosphere) from the mudslide would be eroded which would cause the sediment level in the water to increase(hydrosphere).
  2. an understanding of environmental science can aid in handling natural disasters because it can help you know how the earth systems affect different natural disasters to prevent and prepare for if one. for example, planting trees can help to prevent mudslides/landslides because the roots from the trees will soak up additional water that seeps into the ground from the rain, which will make the chance of mudslides less likely.
  3. efforts we can make to help create a sustainable future are using fewer fossil fuels which would cause fewer greenhouse gases to be put in the atmosphere, planting more trees, teaching people how to recycle properly and actually doing it, etc.

i was shocked about most of the info i found out about mudslides/landslides, but overall i found the project to be pretty fun and easy to do. it was easy to work with my group. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rRhArROZa_WvVfmXJ-K4YXwRjSIX4PvFAt0HdkA3FHA/edit#slide=id.g16257e8ee1a_1_0

In many different ways can earth systems be affected by each other. The best example of this is the rain cycle, which shows what happens when the biosphere interacts with the hydrosphere. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? I think by you knowing particular pieces of knowledge about a natural disaster you might be able to keep yourself safe. For example, knowing how to detect when something like a hurricane or a tornado is coming. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Many things are damaging the earth right now but I feel like the increase in gas products releasing unwanted gasses into the air is something we should stop or try to do. Your reaction to your findings and overall project Overall I am not too shocked being as though I knew things about the topic. I am a little caught off guard by some of the damage earthquakes do.

Volcanoes

Earth systems affect each through many different ways. When volcanoes(geosphere) erupt, the molten lava shoots and emits carbon into the atmosphere. The understanding on environmental science allows us to understand why volcanoes erupt and the impact it has on the environment.

Unfortunately we cant do anything to stop volcanoes we just have to stay away from them

Essential Questions:

The earth’s systems affect each other in all different ways. Specifically, in floods, the hydrosphere affects mostly the Geosphere by tearing through typically un-flooded areas and destroying the area. Sometimes the area gets so bad that they are not back to normal for years. The hydrosphere also affects the biosphere because it causes animals to lose their homes and possibly even die. Floods also affect the hydrosphere because the water floods onto land and overfloods rivers and lakes sometimes.

The understanding of environmental sciences helps us understand how the different earth spheres interact with each other instead of studying it as just a disaster. For example, floods interact with the Hydrosphere obviously because of the water but it also affects the Geosphere in ways you might not think about the same Biosphere.

We could start trying to stop climate change and taking it more seriously because while climate change decreases the frequency of regular floods it largely increases the number of huge floods and makes the floods so much worse.

My reaction to my findings and overall project:

This project was fun and the stuff I found was not that surprising. What did surprise me was the information about global warming which was global warming caused more huge floods and less normal floods. Most of the information I feel was obvious.

How do the earth systems affect each other?

Depending on the cause of the wildfire. So if wildfires is cause natrually by lightning the earth systems affected are atmosphere and biosphere.

How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters?

You have better knowledge in case one of these natrual disasters occur

https://youtu.be/eVoQB7Om2rM 1. How do the earth systems affect each other? They are connected by the energy and materials. They all use the atmosphere, and geosphere in a way. The earth system 2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? It gives us a better understanding, for example with wildfires , i didn’t understand why it happened but now i do. 3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Try our best not to use so much coal. Submiss

  1. How do the earth systems affect each other? Water erodes rock and nourishes plants, and water vapor is a greenhouse gas which affects the atmosphere.

  2. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters? We gotta know where they’re coming from.

  3. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? Solar energy ftw

Overall this project was fun. Waited til last minute, still pulled through cuz I’m him. Himothy. Himmy Neutron. Invader Him. Always been always will be him.

Earth systems affect each other because when something such as a natural disaster gets worse due to human activities all systems are also affected by it. An understanding of environmental science can aid in handling natural disasters by gathering an understanding of what’s going on and why, and how you can prepare for it, etc. To create a sustainable future we can recycle more, reduce greenhouse gasses by walking, taking public transportation, etc and more.

How do the earth systems affect each other?
All of Earth’s systems work with each other, mudslides are an example of this. It starts with the hydrosphere with heavy rainfall which builds up in the ground, the biosphere. Earth systems work hand in hand with different processes and disasters. Without one system, another wouldn’t be able to function fully or properly.

How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling disasters?
Having an understanding of environmental science allows you to know how and why a disaster starts. This knowledge can help prevent a disaster from occurring and how to deal with the disaster and its aftermath.

What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?
To create a sustainable future the first thing we need to do is educate. Environmental science gives people the background and understanding of why the Earth is in the state that it is today. Us putting in the effort to spread knowledge and being able to listen will put us on the path to a sustainable future.

Overall Reaction: It was interesting to learn about how mudslides start, it was something new I learned. I enjoyed creating a short creative video to go with the information me and my group put together.
