Exit Ticket: 10/10: Harming the Hydrosphere by Keesha Landis

Harming the Hydrosphere

klandis16 — 2025-10-09 17:50:57 UTC

Both humans and dinosaurs have shaped Earth’s environment — but in very different ways.

Which group do you think has been more destructive to the planet’s environment — humans or dinosaurs — and why?

Use evidence from what you’ve learned about fossils, extinction, and human impact on the hydrosphere or atmosphere to support your reasoning.

I think humans are more destructive because they leave trash everywhere, and some of them even dump trash in the ocean. The reason why I think dinosaurs are not destructive is because they are simply trying to survive.

I think humans are more destructive than dinosaurs because Dinosaurs messed up their local environments, but humans have changed the entire planet's climate and ecosystems.

Humans, because we use all sorts of chemicals and other things that ends up being left in nature and that ends up making animals sick and ill and possibly die, which can also effect our economy.

Humans are more destructive to the environment than dinosaurs. Dinosaurs mostly died out naturally, and they didn’t change the world much after that. But humans have caused a lot of damage by polluting water, cutting down forests, and using too many resources.

I think that humans have a greater impact on the environment in a negative way. Although dinosaurs don't have great reputations towards the environment, humans continue to do more to affect it. Some examples are pollution's, tearing down tree's, starting forest fires, air pollution, and littering the environment with trash and sometimes chemicals.

I would say both because human have caused destruction by littering , constructing , and driving . but dinosaurs have been destructive because they stomp on everything but they lived with what they had.

Humans definently becasue poullution and they are terrible to the world. Dinosaur poop helps plants grow and they are better to the world. Humans caused COVID and all these other viruses that people lost their lives for.

Humans because of trash they throw and the mess they make. dinosaurs are just simply doing what they have to do to survive.

I think humans have been more destructive to the planet's environment because dinosaurs did things to survive, all while humans do things such as leaving trash behind, which can harm the environment, and building things like nuclear power plants, which can release toxins in the air.

Humans has been more destructive. Because dinosaurs were a part of nature. Also humans dump trash on the ground instead of in the trashcan which could have a bad impact on the environment.

I generaly think that humans are more destructive because dinosaurs just be living and they hunt sleep eat and repeat but humans throw stuff in water and cause pollution and other destructive properties humans cause wars they kill other people and every other thing.

I think that humans are more destructive to the environment. Because we have factories that can pollute the water and air that can make animals and humans sick or even death. And because humans leave trash everywhere without any care in the world.

I think humans are more destructive because , we sometimes leave trash in the streets or even the oceans I think humans are more destructive because dinosaurs ,are just trying to live,
