Explanation:
In the diagram, the waste management promotes health and sanitation.
The important method of waste management is proper waste disposal.
This includes the 5’rs, recycle, reduce, reuse, recover, and repair. This
practices are very important as it bring positive contribution to the
environment. For example, clean food and fresh air. As a result, people
have a lower risk of disease. Next, can decrease greenhouse gasses
because through proper waste disposal, it will save the ozone layer and
protect humans and other non-living or living things from harmful
ultraviolet rays from the sun and more production of oxygen. If there
will be more oxygen and away from diseases then Biodiversity takes
place, so we can have a better place to live in.

Layers of the Earth and its Composition

Crust
Upper Mantle
Mantle
Outer Core
Inner Core

The earth's structure is broken down into the following components, the crust,
upper mantle, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is divided into two
varieties based on thickness and location: continental crust, which is made up of
granite rocks and located near mountain ranges, and oceanic crust, which is made
up of basalt and found beneath the oceans. The upper mantle, along with the crust,
makes up the lithosphere of earth, which is physically distinct from the layers lying
below due to its low temperature high thickness. The temperature and pressure of
the lower mantle are extraordinarily high due to its location so deep below the
earth. Convection currents in the lower mantle allow heat from the earth's interior
to rise to the surface. The outer core has a very high density and thus always found
to exist in the viscous-liquid state due to not having enough pressure to be
compressed to a solid. The inner core is made mostly metals such as gold,
platinum, palladium, silver, and tungsten. Due to extremely high temperature and
pressure, the metals present in the inner core change their structural conformation
and are found to exist in solid state.

Explain scientifically the basis of common practices, beliefs and phenomena e.g.
not standing beside a tall object in an open field when there is lightning, harvesting
mushroom, right after a lightning strike.

When there is lightning, we should not stand beside a tall object in an


open field because thunder is the result of lighting, lighting is the
product of electrical charges, and lightning is attracted to the tallest tip
of a conductor, according to science. When lightning strikes something
on the ground, the struck object sends a faint channel upward that joins
the downward developing flash and forms the ground connection. The
upward channel is more likely to be produced by taller things than by
shorter objects. Trees, for example, are frequently the tallest objects in a
given environment. Lightning can travel even further via water, metal
fences, electricity lines, or plumbing, according to the National Severe
Storm Laboratory. Lightning can infiltrate a structure, travel through
wiring or plumbing, and cause harm to anything in its path. Similarly, it
may strike a pole or tree in a city, and the current then flows to several
surrounding houses and other structures, entering them through wiring
or plumbing. Therefore, trees make great targets for lighting. this is why
standing under or near a tree is so dangerous. Furthermore, some
mushroom crops can be more than doubled by lightning strikes,
according to current research that jolt fungi with electricity. During a
lightning strike, up to a billion volts of energy can be transmitted into
the earth by naturally occurring lightning. The mushrooms would be
fried by a direct blow with that much energy. Instead, the researchers
have been utilizing milder bursts of electricity since it's more likely that
mushrooms within the impact zone grow after being exposed to a
diminished charge going through the soil. As a result, when mushrooms
detect lightning, they speed up their development and generate fruiting
bodies
