2. P Read and summarize what you should be able to do by the end of the week Earth and space. The student knows that natural events and human activity can impact Earth systems. The student is expected to: (A) predict and describehow different types of catastrophic events impact ecosystems such as floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes;

3. A catastrophic • Horrible natural event

4. A Ecosystem • All the abiotic and biotic factors interacting with each other in a particular area

5. A Catastrophic Event • An event such as a hurricane, flood, or tornado that causes a sudden or dramatic change to the Earth’s surface

6. A Flood • An overflow of water that submerges land

7. A Hurricane A violent tropical cyclone storm with torrential rains and high winds caused by temperature difference of ocean water and air.

8. A salinity • The amount of dissolved salt in a body of water

9. A Storm surge • An abnormal rise of the sea along a shore, caused primarily by the winds of a storm

10. A Tornado • A violent, spiraling cyclone storm seen as a funnel shaped cloud that causes lots of damage.

11. Weathering • The breaking down of rocks into small particles such as sand and pebbles.

12. Erosion • The movement of small rock particles from one location to another by means of water, ice, or wind.

13. Deposition • When particles carried by water, ice, or wind are deposited (dropped) in another location

14. Watershed • the land area that drains into a particular lake, river, or ocean.
