1. Explain how the film shows the interdisciplinary relationship of the sciences.
The film showed the interdisciplinary relationship of the other sciences by relating different sciences to another. The Big Freeze is a film about the climate change that is happening and has happened to the earth. We’ve all been wondering why these things happen and what caused it to happen. These past few years, especially in the Philippines, programs have been implemented like the eco bags, The Reuse, Reduce and Recycle to stop the climate change we have been experiencing. The film entitled The Big Freeze is also close to one of the possible scenarios predicted by scientists in which the Universe may end. It is a direct consequence of an ever expanding universe. The most telling evidences, such as those that indicate an increasing rate of expansion in regions farthest from us, support this theory. As such, it is the most widely accepted model pertaining to our universe’s ultimate fate.
The climate change we’ve been experiencing made lots of theories and stories about the nearing of the end of the world. That is why a lot of Geographers are clearing that some things that people are telling are not true. What is happening to the Earth right now happened through the times. It’s just that we are starting all over again.
Geographers believe that this particular “problem” occurs from time to time, from century to century. This documentary film focuses on the drastic and gradual climate changes since the formation of the earth. The film starts with sky-touching mountains and hills of the northern hemisphere. Geologists believe that these mountains were topped with ice.
However, the climate theories of geologists explain that our planet has undergone severe climate changes ranging from the heart-shivering ice cold to the body piercing scorching heat.
