This is a mid-sized city with a big plan. They have decided to add lots of bike paths to reduce the number of cars on the road.

This is good because it will help the air be lot fresher and it’s sort of a push to help people be a bit more welcoming to ideas like this to help the environment. This links with physical geography because it’s helping the world around us.]]> 2021-09-16 16:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746487856 21wil46 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746490819 This article is a form of physical geography

Associate Professor Martin Danišík, lead Australian author from the John de Laeter Centre based at Curtin University, said supervolcanoes often erupted several times with intervals of tens of thousands of years between the big eruptions but it was not known what happened during the dormant periods."Gaining an understanding of those lengthy dormant periods will determine what we look for in young active supervolcanoes to help us predict future eruptions," Associate Professor Danišík said. 21yua52 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746528811 2021-09-16 16:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746528811 21sha54 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746564595 This could be classified as physical geography because droughts are caused by unusually dry weather with no rain, and weather is part of physical geography]]> 2021-09-16 17:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746564595 Welsh family’s asked to plant more trees 21tou28 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746636793 Family’s with gardens should plant trees according to the deputy climate change minister. The Welsh government want 86 million trees by the end of the decade. Most would be planted in the woodlands. Experts have urged authorities to prioritise trees in urban areas.

It’s  unusually large for this stage in season and growing. Scientists accept that the depletion in the ozone layer is caused by man-made gases called CFCs, which were first developed in the 1930s for use in refrigeration systems and were then deployed as propellants in aerosol spray cans.

This is grouped under human geography because the man made gases are harming the stratospheric layer of ozone that acts as sunscreen, protecting the Earth from the Sun’s ultraviolet rays.]]> 2021-09-16 17:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746664252 21cla24 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746806505 This could be classified as physical geography because droughts are caused by unusually dry weather with no rain, and weather is part of physical geography]]> 2021-09-16 19:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1746806505 21nor88 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1750202964 This is a story about the California fires, over 7,400 wildfires have burned in California this year and it is still going on. More than 2.2 million acres have been burned to a crisp. There is a big fire in Sequoia National Forest that started in August 2021 the fire was started by a lightning strike. The reason this is so important is because the Forest has a big tree called General Sherman and they have now been wrapping fire resistant blankets around it to protect it. This tree is 2,200 years old and it is the biggest tree by volume on earth.

The reason in the past year there has been so many wildfires and why some of them including this one hasn’t stoppered is because it is very dry and hot, this is caused by climate change.

The lightning strike is physical geography and climate change is environmental geography.

Dolawen wants to recycle waste at Cilyrychen quarry. People in  Wales don't like the idea of this  and over 600 people have signed a petition. Dolawens idea has  raised concerns over the environment.  The company claims they have taken the concerns and worries on board. Many species of wildlife have returned to this silent quarry since it stopped operating in 2002. This beautiful quarry includes the only turlough in the 
 UK mainland, the Pantllyn Turlough. This construction will damage Wildlife and increase pollution. Campaigners have claimed they have already started pumping water, and have photos showing it's reduced water levels. A letter was sent from the NRW stating they must have a licence to remove water from the quarry.
I think this is environmental geography.

British Weather Station in danger 21ade02 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1751934451 A giant iceberg has broken off part of Antarctica, the size of Greater London is blocking a British weather stations way out of the cold. Scientists report that this is a natural break and that it does happen. They say that it has nothing to do with Climate Change.  this information it does not mean that we should not be concerned, it could possibly still be Climate Change. The hope is that the researchers at the station can be evacuated before the Antarctic winter with no sun, and the temperature dropping below 50 degrees Celsius.
They hope the iceberg will clip the land near the research station and break part of it of so it floats away quicker and the researchers can be evacuated before the merest hint of winter . This is more the latter but a mix of physical and environmental Geography.

There is lots of investigations and checks happening to other buildings, in the coming weeks and months. people might be reluctant to buy flats as an awareness of climate risk grows. ]]> 2021-09-19 19:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1752241154 COP26 21lan75 https://padlet.com/tlk2/jo2k6iyscwsnigh/wish/1755173217 In November, World leaders will meet in Glasgow to discuss climate change and how to overcome it called COP26. Their decisions will hold the key to our future, so that is why the WWF are taking in young people’s ideas that will help the world and what they want the world leaders to promise. This will also show that young people are ready to fight against climate change, and are ready to step up and do their parts to protect our future.

This is why on the 5th of November 2021, during the Climate Change conference, school all around the world will form a Forrest of promises, displaying leaves that will show their promises to the world to help climate change. 

It links to physical geography, as helping overcome climate change is helping to make our natural world resources thrive and grow again, which links to Geography.

A volcano erupted in LA PALMA on September 19th 2021 at 3:15pm. Spanish authorities began evacuating the near by villages. After nightfall, fountains of lava were seen shooting hundreds of meters into the sky. Surrounding villages where wiped out by the lava with five thousand people evacuating. Fortunately, there have been no injuries. Volcano experts are concerned about the volcano collapsing.

This news story relates to physical geography as it is related to nature. Volcanos are very much apart of are geographical makeup.
Interesting fact, the Canary Islands are formed from a group of volcanos formed under the sea.

Over 5 million people in England and Wales live and work in places that are at a risk of flooding from rivers or the sea. Some places have a higher risk of flooding and therefore may flood more frequently than others. In the future, climate change may make flooding happen more often.

Environment Agency Wales is one of lots of organisations who work to keep us safe. During a flood in Wales, the emergency services (police, fire, ambulance) will work together with local authorities and Environment Agency Wales to make sure that communities are as safe as possible.

Not only does Lake Oroville store water, it helps control flooding elsewhere in the region, assists with the maintenance of water quality and boosts the health of fisheries downstream.
In 2014, more than 80% of California was in the grip of an extreme drought. Against this backdrop, Oroville's capacity fell to 30% - a very low level.


I think this is related to physical geography as it involves a drought which is a natural occurrence but I feel like human geography could be involved as well because, like pollution, though it happens naturally we are involved with it as well.
