The way the wind blows

The earth is unevenly heated because it spins on its axis.  This means that it will heat up in certain parts and not heat up on the part that is deprived from the sun.  The earths rotation affects the movement of water and wind because if the earth did not rotate on its axis, winds would be blowing  from the north toward the south and from the south toward the north. A straight line, as drawn from the equator towards the northern hemisphere the pole or from the North Pole to the equator, as indicated in the example to the left, models this kind of wind direction.

As you probably already know, the earth rotates on its axis from west to east. This rotation causes both the wind and ocean currents to move from east to west. Thus, the wind movement and ocean currents in the northern hemisphere go clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere.  Global warming could affects the wind patters because when air is hot it rises, and if too much of the air started to rise, then it would make air to dense in some areas and less dense in other throwing off the wind patterns.  

Chemical Reactions

This week we had been studying chemical reactions.  We first placed steel wool over the Bunsen burner and watched as it slowly deteriorated.  That was a single decomposition.  Next we put a steel nail in a cup of copper chloride and the nail turned a brown/red color.

My best work

I feel my and my groups best work would definitely be A beach by another name.  The reason i feel this way is because we all came together and made intelligent decisions as to where everything should be places.  We had the future of our island planned out far ahead.  The turtles and other animals being healthy, a great view of the beach, nice gold course, and even a convenient Police and Fire station. All in all we planned everything out very well and thought ahead for the future wellness of our island, and that's why i feel this is my best work.

Loggerhead Island

On the side of the island with the sea turtle nesting we needed to consider the precautions of the public being a disturbance, also we added free feeding and food for the animals, to keep offspring healthy and alive. We also located the fire and police station right in the center of civilization in case of emergency's. We made a timer on the street lights so that they do not disturb the nesting. We placed our fishing dock on the lagoon side of the island due to the lack of human disturbance and for marine bio studyin.Our golf course could be flooded by the oceanic side of the island but its close tot he lagoon as well so it may not have any issues. We placed a large netting around the sides so that the golf balls don't enter the ocean. The economic benefits are the public housing is mostly on the lagoon side away from the economic stuff. Humans negatively impact the coastal ecosystems with there rowdiness, pollution, and the electricity distributed around the streets. With healthy vegetation and economy we can severely prevent the issues of storms starting. I wish that made the gold course larger, had more public attractions, and more security of sea turtle nesting.
