CONDENSATION

Five examples of condensation and their nuclei are

1. A window : from water vapor in the air


2. a mirror : steam from the shower


3. grass : morning dew


4. water bottle : condensation form being in the fridge

5. glass : when water vapor touches glass

GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is an increase of the average temperature of the atmosphere. I do believe in global warming. I feel that the temperature in the atmosphere is rising and this does cause lots of damage. Pollution contributes to global warming such as cars releasing toxins. Carbon dioxide also leads to global warming. carbon dioxide collects heat from the sun and heat the Earth. Spaying hairspray in a certain can can also cause global warming. Some people may not believe in global warming. This may be because they feel that CO2 has nothing to do with the earth's temperature rising. They also feel that this is a natural process and its just because of the sun.

HURRICANES

I chose hurricane Andrew. This hurricanes occurred in 1992. It was one of the most destructive hurricanes in the U.S. It started as a tropical wave that came from the west coast of Africa. It was the third intense hurricane of record to hit the United States. This hurricanes is responsible for 26 deaths total and 26.5 billion dollars worth of damage. Andrew reached a Category 4 and lowered to a Category 3.

AIR MASSES

The four main types of air masses are mT, mP, cP, and cT. the letter m meaning maritime or wet. The letter T meaning tropical or warm. The letter c meaning continent or dry. The letter P meaning polar or cold. The air mass most likely to bring a hurrincane is a mT. This is because for a hurricane to form it needs warm water. The air mass that brings a drought is a cT. This is because for a drought to form it has to have dry, warm air. The air mass for a lake-effect snowstorm to form is a cT . Two other types of air masses are highland and arctic. Highland air masses occurs in areas with large elevation changes over short distances. an arctic air mass has the same characteristics as a polar mass but the only difference is that it is colder with lower dewpoints.

RADIATION

"IR" radiation is infrared radition that has been released back into the atmosphere. The three main gases that cause the greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide, methane, and water. In my opinion, the greenhouse effect is a bad thing. This is because it threatens the enviornment and causes the Earth to warm.

RECYCLING

We should recycle glass because every ton of glass recycled save about 9 gallons of fuel, at least 30% of glass containers on grocery stores shelves can be recycled and container glass can be recycled repeatedly with no loss of quanity or quality.
Recycling and reusing are the same thing. They are both a good thing to do.
Fayettevilles citizens can recycle by using the blue recycling bins to collect recyclables from the week.
The closest recycling drop off center closest to my home is Camden Site.
9 things plastic can be recycled into are it has been used are bottles, shower stalls, recycling bins, scouring pads, paint brushes, industrial strapping, drainpipes, plastic lumber, and flowerpots.
5 things metal can turn into after it has been melted down are cans, automobile parts, siding, appliances and building materials.
To promote recycling I can help out actually doing it and i could tell my friends and have the mtell their friends to recycle.

I think I deserve an A for my blogs. I have gotten all my blogs completed with the correct spelling and grammar. Even though i missed this day of school i still got my work completed. I have worked hard on gettig them all completed and I hope i get this A.

4 OCEANS

One of the four oceans i choose is the Atlantic Ocean. The five most important resources we get from this ocean include fishing and beautiful stones. It also includes petroleum and gas fields, sand and gravel. Last it has marine mammal that we ship around the world.

GEOLOGIC TIME WEBQUEST

Scientists can tell the age of a tree by how many rings it contains. Each rings represents a year for hoe old the tree is. This could be helpful with finding out how old a fossil could be if it was located within the tree. Also can give a relative date of when the aminal of the fossil became extinct. This is an example of absolute dating because it is giving the exact age of the tree.
