What is a Natural disaster
A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, and other geologic processes.
What does sustainability define
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.
What is an ecosystem
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with the nonliving components of their environment. These biotic and abiotic factors are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows
What is the definition of a biosphere
The biosphere is a narrow zone of the earth where land, water, air interact with each other to support life. It is in this zone that life exists. There are several species of organisms that vary in size from microbes and bacteria to large mammals.

What is the difference between a biosphere and an ecosystem
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with one another and their non-living environment within a particular area. The biosphere is that part of the earth inhabited by living organisms, including land, ocean and the atmosphere in which life can exist.

Are earthquakes a common natural disaster to occur.

How does sustainability affect the environment
Sustainability is important for many reasons including: Environmental Quality – In order to have healthy communities, we need clean air, natural resources, and a nontoxic environment.
What are they major functions of an ecosystem
There are three classes of ecosystem functions Stocks of energy and materials (ex. biomass, genes), Fluxes of energy or material processing (ex. productivity, decomposition Stability of rates or stocks over time (ex. resilience, predictability).
What is the importance of a biosphere
How do mountains and hills differ
Hills are easier to climb than mountains. They are less steep and not as high.
What was the largest hurricane to occur.

Name 3 things a sustainable city focuses on
Renewable energy, using natural resources, creating less pollution, sustainably managing waste, not wasting water, etc.
What do ecosystems provide us
Ecosystems underpin all human life and activities. The goods and services they provide are vital to sustaining well-being, and to future economic and social development. The benefits ecosystems provide include food, water, timber, air purification, soil formation and pollination.
What are the 3 main types of biospheres
atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere
What is the smallest mountain in the world.
Mount Wycheproof
Why do tsunamis occur
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes on converging tectonic plate boundaries. However, tsunamis can also be caused by landslides, volcanic activity, certain types of weather, and—possibly—near-earth objects (ex., asteroids, comets) colliding with or exploding above the ocean.
What are the 3 major components of sustainability.
Economic development, social responsibility, environmental conversation.
What is definition of ecology
Which of these factors does not limit the success of populations
