Humans cannot eliminate solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth natural hazards but can take steps to reduce their impacts. processes on humans. 5th Earth ESS2.A Materials and Systems - Earth's major systems 5-ESS2-1 Develop a model using an example to grade Systems are the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and describe the ways the geosphere, biosphere, the biosphere. These systems interact in multiple ways to hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. affect Earth's surface materials and processes. The ocean supports a variety of ecosystems and organisms, shapes landforms, and influences climate. Winds and clouds in the atmosphere interact with landforms to determine patterns of weather. 5th Earth ESS3.C Human Impacts on Earth Systems - human activities 5-ESS3-1 Obtain and combine information about grade Systems in agriculture, industry, and everyday life have had major ways individual communities use science ideas to effects on the land, vegetation, streams, ocean, air, and protect the Earth's resources and environment. even outer space. But individuals and communities are doing things to help protect Earth's resources and environments. Middle Life LS2.A Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems - MS-LS2-1 Analyze and interpret data to provide School Science Organisms, and populations of organisms, are dependent evidence for the effects of resource availability on their environmental interactions both with other living on organisms and populations of organisms in an things and with nonliving factors. In any ecosystem, ecosystem. organisms and populations with similar requirements for food, water, oxygen, or other resources may compete with each other for limited resources, access to which consequently constrains their growth and reproduction.
