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?
