Blog Post #2

1.They plan to use rainwater collections, geothermal A/C, and solar photovoltaic systems.
2. Geothermal A/C uses the Earth's heat to heat and cool the school.
3. I chose climate change.
4. It is causing the air and water to get warmer, which makes icebergs melt, creating higher water levels.
5. Climate change is a huge problem in our world. It is causing animals to loose their homes and even die. Many animals, like polar bears, are becoming extinct! We need to do something! Not only should we cap omissions made by factories, but we should limit the amount of travel we make by motor vehicle. Instead of flying to a buisness meeting in California, have a web confrence. Instead of driving your car to your friends block a few blocks away, ride your bike their. Plus, you'll get exercise; it's a win-win!

Blog Post #1: Hurricane Isabel

1. I chose Hurricane Isabel, which ocurred in 2003.

2. it was a category 4 and category 5 hurricane.

3. It develeoped from a wave off of Africa on September 1, 2003 and was scientifically considered as a hurricane on September 7. It hit the North Carolina and Virginia coasts and killed 1 7 people in total. The damage done by Hurricane Isabel cost more than three billion dollars to fix.

blog # 7

1. My best blog is blog #4 because not only is it very informative, but it is very interesting as well.
2. Since I have done them all and I am almost positive I have done them correctly (sorry though about them not being in order), I believe I deserve a 100. But like last time, some blogs are better than others, so if you would base it on consistancy on how good they are, I think I deserve a 96 or 97.
3. I really liked chapters 14 and 16, but if I had to choose one, I would choose chapter 16 because I love learning about the ocean. I know this chapter doen't deal with actual animals, but I have always been intrested in Marine Biology, so this is the second best thing. I liked learing about different types of tides and how they moved. I learned about how deep they are and what temperature they usually are. What I found extremley interesting was the Moon's affect on our tides. I liked the connection you made to Family Guy with Peter's gravitational pull : ).

blog # 5

1. " It's official: An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs" published by Reuters
2. His thesis is that an asteroid hitting Earth "is the only plausable explanation fr this"
3.I kind of agree with it but yet I also disagree. I believe that the Ice Age, or the mass freezing over a huge part of the world killed the dinosaurs, but the asteroid did cause the Ice Age, so it did infact have a huge part in killing the dinosaurs.
