How do changes in one part of the Earth affect the rest of the planet?

Changes in one part of the Earth affect the rest of the planet because we all share the same atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. This suggests that anything that changes will affect everywhere because every single thing on Earth is part of Earth system. A system is a bunch of parts that work together and depend on each other, but are different individually. So, if parts of the system changes, since they depend on each other, the other parts will be thrown off. An example of how a change in one part of the Earth affects the whole planets is when humans began to burn more coal and fossil fuels. This caused there to be 30% more carbon in the atmosphere. This

    The climate of an area is so impactful that even the smallest changes can have large, serious impacts because everything is connected in some way. The Butterfly Effect theory explains that the power of a butterfly flapping its wings in New Mexico can cause a hurricane in China; that it may take a long time, but there is a connection because if the butterfly hadn’t flapped its wings at the exact point in time and space, the air movement wouldn’t have changed or moved to cause a hurricane. Because we can’t ever know the outcomes of our actions before they happen, so it’s impossible to determine what factors cause certain outcomes, but the fact remains that even slight changes or errors can be amplified dramatically, making significant changes…

    According to the EPA, environmental justice refers to the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Low-income and minority Americans tend to live and work in areas disproportionately exposed to pollution, therefore they suffer disproportionately from the effects of pollution. Often, it is not only the disproportionate amount of pollution that negatively affects the health of low-income and minority Americans but the combination of that pollution layered on top of existing social disparities, such as access to healthcare. African Americans tend to live closer to…

    But what they fail to tell you is that as the carbon increases ever so slightly, the amount of water vapor in the air increases as well, and as harmless as it seems, water vapor has a very similar effect to the environment that carbon does (Glick). Considering all this, it becomes obvious that by upsetting the natural atmospheric balance by emitting carbon, it is making the Earth…

    Imagine having summer all year long, being under the sweltering heat, breathing the stuffy, sick air, and conditions worsening as the day goes by. These harsh conditions are increased by air pollution and climate change through cars and factories; man-made inventions. These innovative technologies have been necessary in order to have a functioning and developing society and economy. However, the belief that humans are the sole cause of climate change is refuted by scientists, advocating that the change in the Earth’s climate is a natural cause. Earth formed over about 4.5 billion years ago, and it has changed ever since then.…

    It has been proven that what caused climate change is not only due to human factors but natural factors as well. As in the article “causes of climate change”, it talked about how the natural and anthropogenic effects are causes of the changes in our climate. Some natural causes are the effects of plate tectonics, volcanoes, the earth’s tilt, and ocean currents. Plate tectonics, where countries and “continents were all part of one large landmass” (Causes of climate change. Retrieved November 23, 2015 ) in the past, at some point in time moved into different positions and drift apart, caused continents around the earth to experience different climate conditions than they used to experience before this shift in their positions.…
