‘TYPHOON PABLO’

The world we live in today is always changing, whether it be technology or the land. As these changes take place, society must adapt to them. Many things begin to change as a result of this and society beings to turn into something completely different. One of the most overlooked changes that takes place is that of the environment and landscape. The landscape is one of the most important parts of our society's culture and has a great effect on how we live. It seems that nowadays, many individuals are taking advantage of the land and nothing appreciating it for every thing that it is worth. Its true that not everyone is going to look at the environment and landscape in the same way, however that is no excuse to disrespect it.
Then again, a whole new argument can start from that, as different individuals are going to have different views on what disrespecting the land. Many positive things have come from taking advantage of the land, and also, there have been many negative things to come as a result of this. It all depends on how you look at it. One thing is for sure though, no matter what the case is, the land and environment we live in plays a huge part in each of our everyday lives.

Our landscape is constantly changing, since the Big Bang Theory to present day. There are many different factors which can a huge impact on the shaping of the land. There are many natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, earthquakes, hurricanes, and even wildfires.

Around 19-25 tropical cyclones enter the Philippines in a typical year. I had encountered a lot of typhoon since I was a child. The typhoon affected living creatures and properties.
People, animals, and plants can be killed during typhoon. First, flooding can be the reasons for humans to get drown because of a high level of water. The bad weather can also give them sickness such as fever, common cold and malaria,

    Many people who live in urban environments are fascinated about the wilderness through television, but never take a step outside to interact with the nature surrounding them. People who alienate themselves from nature, are unaware that the loss of direct contact is one of the greatest causes of ecological crisis. One lesson that Robert Pyle has mentioned in his book The Thunder Tree is that our culture lacks the intimacy with the living world. If we do not have direct contact with nature we lose the importance it holds because we allow ourselves to only imagine what it is like to have direct contact with nature. This lesson is important to Pyle because this mass disaffection in our culture is foreshadowing apathy for the condition of earth. This lesson is important to me personally because I now have a deeper understanding of nature and it helped change my perspective of what I thought was my environment.…

    Hurricanes are also called typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in Australia and the Indian Ocean. Hurricanes form over tropical oceans; they need the warm air and the wind from the ocean to form. When a hurricane finally forms it spins in a circular motion and in the middle of the storm is where you will find the “eye” of the storm, the eye is where you will find the calmest part of the storm. Hurricanes have very low pressure systems. The storms usually have wind speeds of 120 km/h or higher, they can sustain winds up to 350 km/h.Florida’s hurricane seasons usually last between August and October. Every season at least one named storm makes landfall in Florida. Hurricanes can be very dangerous; they kill an averaged number of 17 people per year nationwide. And injure and averaged number of 60 people per year nationwide. Hurricanes also often leave a very big path of destruction behind them; the amount of destruction depends on the category level the hurricane is in. Hurricanes are just like thunderstorms, except with high wind speeds and more rain fall, so they appear like a thunderstorm, so you would prepare the same way you would for a thunderstorm, meaning you find shelter, keep and extra supply of water and non-perishable foods nearby, and avoid the outside as much as possible. During a hurricane you should try and find a room with little to no windows or doors and stay in there until it is safe, a closet or bathroom is advised.…

    The relationship between humans and their environment is a topic that engenders much debate. Humans are intellectual. They can think, reason, feel and make deductions or hypothesis and seek to solve or prove their deductions or theories. The environment on the other hand is inanimate and exists by means of natural laws and principles that govern the universe. It cannot prevent man’s exploitations; it cannot take up arms and fight. However, in its own way, by natural laws, it makes efforts to purge and renew itself from the effects of man’s endeavors. Mangor (2002) argues that like the ocean that shapes coastal landforms, the coasts are dynamic aspects of the environment that are in constant change. Thus, by means of its natural processes such as sea level rise, waves and various phenomenon, erosion, accretion and reshaping of coasts, flooding and the creation of continental shelves it defends itself against man. A specific aspect of the environment that engenders conversation is the coastal landscape: its beauty, its purpose, its abuse, and its future.…

    Two years ago when I was in Oklahoma for summer vacation visiting my aunt and cousins I realized how much different it was from the city. Even upstate, New York is much different than from the city. I am the type of gal that loves nature and I love all animals from a distance and I highly respect Mother Nature. Unlike me others do not, others feel they are allowed to mistreat animals and the earth they stand on. As people continue to destroy and disrespect Mother Nature not only are they destroying the ground they stand on, but they are also destroying homes and changing the climate.…
