Know your Earth

~*Online Learning:
From the video I’ve watched I learned about how the planet changes. Earth's parts - land, air, water and life - are always changing. Some of the changes are natural and some are caused by humans. Scientists want to understand how Earth has changed in the past and how it is changing now. This information helps them predict how Earth might change in the future.

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.
