NAU England Lithosphere Atmosphere Hydrosphere and Biosphere PPT

 

Each student is responsible to create 3 min. audio or video recordings about assigned

nations. Please refer to the table on the last page of the document to see your assigned

nation. ( my assigned nation is ENGLAND)

Content: You are expected to answer the following research questions regarding

environmental spheres in your video/audio:

1- Lithosphere

  • What is one major geologic feature (can include mountains, desert, plains, coast,

etc.)? Please use visual materials to visualize the geologic feature.

  • How are humans using these features (tourism, nature reserve, sacred lands,

extracting resources, etc.)?

  • Does human use of these features create concern for the future of these features?

If so, explain how, and describe what is being done about it.

2- Atmosphere

  • What is the dominant climate in your country? Please use a “climograph” to

visualize precipitation and temperature changes in your assigned country.

  • How has climate change impacted your assigned nations?
  • What is being done about it?

3- Hydrosphere

  • What is one major body of water found within, or adjacent to, each of your

assigned nations? Give a brief description of where they are found.

  • How are humans using these features (fishing, tourism, wildlife, etc.)?
  • Does human use of these features create environmental concern for the living

organisms found within them? If so, explain how?

  • Describe what is being done about it. 

4- Biosphere / Environmental Sustainability Challenges:

  • What are several of the most common species of wildlife (plants or animals) in

your assigned nations?

  • Which ones are native to your nations, and which ones came from elsewhere

(called “exotic” species)?

  • Are they any species in your study area that went extinct or under the threat of

extinction?

  • If so, what are the reasons for this situation?
