My friend Alicia, who studies natural sciences, will ask her professor about further aspects which could concern my topic (unpredictable mutations in the animal world, nuclear power plant etc.).

I had some conversations via Face Time with my relatives Ela and Kaan from Turkey, to be more precise Istanbul.
We talked about the topics regarding the work and came to the conclusion that flora and fauna will also be a huge topic.
"On the one hand, it would be better if we didn't exist, but it's sad how our houses are destroyed and we never experience it.
But for that the world would live as it wants without any people who have destroyed nature, so to speak," was Ela's statement.
The question of how the world would be without us will of course be the main topic. Nevertheless, Kaan and Ela want to present another thesis: "What would a big city be like in contrast to a small remote village without people?

This project will be based mostly on documentaries that can be found on Youtube. I already know that there will be no final answer to the question of what the world would look like without us humans. After all, we speculate a lot and how it would actually look, it will only be known if it comes so far that no humans are left in the world.
However, in the context of this project, the individual processes, how the world would look like without us, will be described in more detail. That means, the project will show how it would look like in the first days, in the first weeks and in the first years.
With a planned survey the young people as well as to the old ones are supposed to think about what a big influence we humans have in fact, which animals have already died due to us and whether the future brings something good with it. This evaluation will be a part of this project.
I want to do my project with different people, especially with different age groups.
I can achieve this with a survey via social media. I have to make sure that I include my classmates as well, since I am interested in their opinions as well. In addition, I would like to interview someone who is knowledgeable about the "environment". Possibly a student or even a lecturer at a college.
In summary:
- Interview students and adults by survey or conduct oral interview
- Professionals or students who operate in the field of "environment" and own knowledge in this matter
Effect/impact?
I want to make people aware of what a big impact we humans have on the world. This project is intended to give a deeper insight into how the world would develop without any human influence. What would happen to the houses/cars/streets/animals?
Methods/techniques/tools?
- Survey with the students
- Research on the Internet
- Documentation on Youtube
- Interviews with experts, if possible
What are the required steps for achieving the effect?
By interviewing different people and the surveys of students my project should get a good balance. This project should stimulate the readers to think and eventually some will begin to live more consciously and become aware of what people have done to the world.
Audience?
Teenagers as well as adults
Classification of natural hazards
Natural hazards include all processes and impacts of nature that can be harmful to humans and property. Based on their cause, natural hazards are divided into three different groups:
- Hydrological / meteorological natural hazards
- Floods: inundation, bank erosion, overbank debris flow
- severe weather: thunderstorm, hailstorm, winter storm
- Avalanche (snow and ice avalanche)
- Cyclones
- Tsunami
- Cold spell
- Drought / heat
- Forest fire
Geological natural hazards
Mass movements: Landslide, rock / boulder fall, rock fall, landslide.
Earthquake
Volcanism
Biological natural hazards*
Pests, invasive plant species
Thunderstorms in Switzerland
The most frequent thunderstorms are heat thunderstorms. Frontal thunderstorms are less frequent and less violent.
In Switzerland, heat thunderstorms occur regularly during the hot summer months. The steep topography of the country favors localized heating, followed by an ascent of moist air masses that can form tower-like thunderclouds that rise to high altitudes. The strong updrafts and downdrafts generate electrical voltages that discharge and produce lightning.
Lightning strikes often start fires that can set buildings and forests ablaze. They can also cause severe damage to computers, televisions, telephone systems and other equipment because electronic components are not well suited to withstand power surges. For example, circuit boards or cables melt due to overheating. Every year, lightning kills about a thousand people worldwide - either from the lightning strike itself, from electrocution, or from burns.
