Document Summary
Changing all the time which effects the way we interact with the space environment. Our issues in the environment have to do with the nonliving parts of the environment. Sustainability: common sense, the way we interact with the environment: major natural systems: Chemicals from earth, atmosphere, and outer space. We need to make sure natural systems can support us and generations to come. Not all studies are asking hypothesis but if you see a pattern that could be used for the future you ask a hypothesis. Example: if cancer rates are high near high voltage power lines people can propose a hypothesis, they may radiate magnetic fields and cause cancer and then they can do a study. Sustainability: capacity of the earth"s natural systems and our human cultural systems to survive, flourish, and adapt to changing environmental conditions into the long-term future. Four components of life-support system: geosphere (crust, core, mantle, hydrosphere (water, atmosphere (air, biosphere (living things)
