Final exam
Number 1
The systems in earths atmospere effect each other when pollution is put out by humans. All of the systems are balanced and when one gets nocked of balance the others start messing up and that effects everything. People are putting a bunch of pollution into the atmospere and it is messing up the other systems called the geosphere, hydrosphere, and the biosphere. All the environmental activities that people have on earth such as deforestation, pollution, and forest fires that are happening all over the world and they are putting smoke and other things in the air. The coral reef is also being messed up and can effect the other systems.
In the future i think people will realise what their doing to the systems and won't do it anymore. I think science and society both do things together and help each other out too. The scientists make things and the people go out and buy them. People are helping scientists and don't even know it. A core demacratic value that goes with this is patriotism because if we liked our country, we wouldn't be in such a hurry to destroy it. Another value is the pursuit of happiness because people won't be happy if they don't have a nice place to live in.

Differences in the energy we use are where they are found and how we use them. The solar wind comes the wind. Gas comes out of the ground. Water comes out of the air and the oceans. Nuclear power is nonrenewable and so we have to make it. Energy changes through earths systems because of different energies that are there. Renewable energy sources that humans could use is water, ethinol, and things that we can make. Water would be a good choice because there is so much of it or corn because we can grow it. These things won't harm the environment much at all because they don't release toxins.
Two nonrenewable resouces humans use are oil, and gas. There used to be a lot of it around but we are running out. Both of these release chemicals into the atmosphere and are dangerous to the environment. Oil and gas are running out and the prices are going way up. Water and ethinol are going to be cheap because theres so much of it. In the future I'm going to take these things into consideration and use things that isn't going to harm the environment.
Coal Nonrenewable, Water Renewable

Number 6
Three types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent and transform. The divergent boundary, the plates move away from each other. In the convergent boundary, the plates go up over top of another. The third boundary is tansform and the plates just slide past each other.
The reason there are earthquakes is because the plates are moving and they crash into each other. The volcanic eruptions happen because the plates move and mess the volcanoe up and then the volcano erupts. The volcanoes form because the plates crash into each other and then the ground gets pushed up. The three types of volcanoes are shield, strato and cinder cone volcanoes. Cinder cone volcanoes look like a cone. The shield volcanoes have low angled slopes and they look like a warriors shield. Stratovolcanoes are the most violent volcanoes.
In the future I think i'm not going to live next to volcano. The earthquakes would cause it to blow up.
