High-Level Project Summary
Our "Earth Protectors" project answers the following question: If Earth has a superpower, what would it be ? We think, this power would come from characters. Our characters come from Earth's 4 elements. (air, soil, fire, water) These characters can use this elements and they use these elements for protect the Earth. For example : Land Protector can block earthquakes by reinforcing faultlines or Fire Protector can reduce the squirt power of volcanos by reduce the pressure in magma floor. While making this project we tried to write superpowers that can be real with technology. We made solutions that will both prevent these critical disasters and use them in favor of humanity.

Detailed Project Description
EARTH PROTECTORS
Hello and we are Fearless Astronauts. Our team has 6 members. Every member of our team is 11 years old. Our project, Earth Protectors is about super powers of Earth. In this project we thought these super powers would come from characters. In this project our characters can use 4 diffrent elements. Fire, water, soil and air. These characters use their power to protect the Earth.
In our project, there are some Nasa Natural Disaster Blocking stations. Our characters are using this NDBS (Nasa Disaster Blocking Stations) for block disasters. For example when Water Protector stops floods and tsunamis, she uses backward ramps. When the flood or tsunami come to the ramp, she degrees the ramps to the NDBS and when the flood or tsunami reach to NDBS, the stations take it's energy and uses this energy for favor of humanity.
Here is our characters' powers and why our characters use their powers for :
WEATHER PROTECTOR:
Main power : Using weather conditionals, especially the clouds.
* Protecting the Ozon Layer.
* Controlling temperature.
* Protect Earth by blocking the harmful gasses.
* Controlling the moisture content.
* Blocking tornados.
The Weather Protector balances the harmful gasses in Earth and in this case Ozon Layer gets protected. He protects glaciers by balancing and controlling the weather conditions. He can also control the moisture content to balance rainings. He's immune to air pressure. In that case tornados and places with high air pressures don't effect him. When the Nasa Bases give him the informations about tornados he goes to the place that tornado starts and creates a backwash. After he does that the tornado ends.
SOIL PROTECTOR :
Main power : Controlling earth movements.
* Controlling earthquakes.
* Controlling erosions and landslides.
He blocks earthquakes by reinforcing faultlines. When the Nasa Bases give him information about a faultline is getting weak, he goes there and puts a material that is nature-friendly and this material reinforces the faultline. This material made from hard trees and reinforced soil. He can protect people from landslides by forming sets with using soil.
FIRE PROTECTOR :
* Main power : Controlling pressure and fire.
* She can block the meteors before crush to Earth.
* She can control volcanos erruption.
She can block volcanos with high squirt energy (that can hurt people's life) by balancing pressure in the magma floor. Nasa's thermal cameras can see the pressure in the magma floor and when she takes that information she goes there and scatters the pressure. When she do this, the volcano still errupt, but with low squirt energy. When the artificial satellites locates a meteor inside the atmosphere, she gets this information and she changes the orbit of the meteor and avoid the chances of this meteor to crush to Earth. She doesn't burn from fire because she's immune to fire.
WATER PROTECTOR :
Main power : controlling water.
* Returns tsunami waves to sea.
* Stops current power of floods.
When Nasa Bases give him information about earthquakes inside of the oceans or seas that they saw from their sensitive cameras, she goes there with Soil Protector and they stop the earthquake inside. If the tsunami already started, she rotates the tsunami to Nasa's natural disaster blocking stations with using backward ramps and the stations take the energy from the tsunami. When the NDB(Natural Disaster Blocking) stations take the energy from tsunami, the tsunami ends and they use this huge energy for the things they need.
Space Agency Data

While we were searching about volcanos and magma floor, we noticed something. If this volcanos errupt with high squirt energy, it costs houses or worse, lifes. So we thought of how to block this kind of disaster and we found a solution. If we can detect pressure level in magma floor, the Fire Protector can go and warn people about that, and if she discrease the pressure level inside it, we can block this disaster.

We searched about how bad is a tsunami is, and we promised to ourselves to find a solution to this problem and we found a solution. If we locate pulse waves inside of seas and oceans, the Water Protector can go there and stop the waves. If the tsunami already started, she can built backward ramps and rotate the tsunami waves back to a NDBS(Nasa Disaster Block Station) take the energy from it and use it to favor of humanity.

We were searching about tornados and then we found that this disaster could be very deadly and very powerful. (We are talking about a power that can destroy houses, buildings and even skyscrapers in seconds)
So we thought that if Weather Protector -the most powerful protector- goes there and constitute a backwash that is stronger than the tornado, but tornado stops and humanity use this huge energy for their own.

While we were searching about natural disasters we noticed something that is so useful. If we can reinforce faultlines with completely natural-friendly materials (for example something like pressed hard wood and grass) we wouldn't count earthquake as a natural disaster.
According to the datas that we took from Nasa's website, these solutions are not impossible. We hope that this ideas can be real and protect our Earth.
Hackathon Journey
This was a lot of fun and we learn so many important things. We improved lots of things about working together. I't was exhausting but ıt's worth it. We learned so many important informations about how to continue healtly to the future by working together.
It doesn't matter if we win the competition or not. It is important to know how to continue our world's life and it's important to know how to work together and be happy, and we can proudly say that we are happy.
