#~What Are We Doing? ~#

This week we're talking about land and acknowledging the gifts the lithosphere provides. Well, my question for the week is : How has our lithosphere been destroyed or in other words what are some things that effect our lithosphere negatively.

~**The Importance of the Hydrosphere**~

75% of our Earth contains water. The Hydrosphere plays an important role in our lives that we seem to take for granted.  What would we drink?, How would we have the advantage to eat seafood?, How would farmers be able to support the lives of crops?
These are questions we don't really acknowledge. Name something the hydrosphere has done for you, why does it matter?, If we didn't have the advantage of the hydrosphere what would be your main regret about it?

Burrrr!

The Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978 was a catastrophic and historic nor'easter that brought blizzard conditions to the New England region of the United States and the New York metropolitan area. The Blizzard of 1978 formed on February 5, 1978 and broke up on February 7, 1978.  Snowfall occurred primarily between Monday morning, February 6 and the evening of Tuesday, February 7. Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts were particularly hard hit by this storm.
Boston received a record 27.1 inches (69 cm) of snow, as did Providence, Rhode Island with 27.6 inches (70 cm) of snow. The storm killed approximately 100 people in the Northeast and injured around 4,500. The storm also caused over US$520 million (US$1.75 billion in present terms) in damage.

Express your feelings towards this event as if it had occured to you. How do you think Elizaabeth City would be affected?, Do you think it would have been more intense if it were to occur here?

~Earth We Need You !~

Without the Earth we would have nothing. No water, no shelter, no food, no resources, etc. Life itself may not be that great, but regardless of it all,  we depend on the earth's resources. Ofcoarse we know that Earth is daily experiencing issues, but it hasn't given up the fight to provide for the life that depends on it. Name some resources that the Earth has provided that you would hate to lose, and explain why you feel the way you do about it.
