NASA studies Earth using satellites. Satellites look toward
Earth from space. They take pictures of, and collect information about, all of
Earth's parts. NASA satellites are especially good for observing clouds,
oceans, land and ice. They also measure gases in the atmosphere, such as ozone
and carbon dioxide. They measure how much energy enters and leaves Earth's
atmosphere. And they monitor wildfires, volcanoes and their smoke.
Information gathered by NASA satellites helps scientists
predict weather and climate. It also helps public health officials track
disease and famine. It helps farmers decide when to plant crops and what kinds
to plant. And it helps emergency workers respond to natural disasters.
The more people know about Earth and its current and
predicted changes, the better decisions they can make.
~*Online Activities:
I watched a video about fascinating facts of earth NASA and a breathtaking view of the world from the space.
~*Online Collaboration:
I participated in this online academy, Eliademy, to broaden
my knowledge about Earth. With this knowledge, I will use it to spread to
others the good and bad things of it and to be aware of what is happening.
