wes D activity

in this activity it shows how the earth changes then the water directions are going to change in directions. before we started this activity i didn't know anything about this and really didn't care! i learned from this activity that the global winds can change the directions of the currents of the water which starts changing everything else i guess. how this connects to my topic is that the winds change the pattern of everything then it could cause a lot of rain to occur then flooding can take place.

our topics

flooding effects people by it could get up to high and make people evacuate their homes and they will lose all of there things they ever had. hurricanes can cause flooding because of the moving water from the body of waters to the island, they also cause storm surges which can produce tornadoes and major flooding. tropical storm Alberto (1994) moved throughout the southeast united states and produced a huge amount of rainfall(21 inches deep).

activity 4

i hated this activity before we even started doing it. in this activity we put dark dirt in a pop bottle(which represented a greenhouse) and put a thermometer in it to measure the temperature for 20 minutes, then we put a heat lamp above it to heat it up. each group had a different item in the bottle or they had a different type of bottle which made everybody's results different. then in this activity we created a graph of everybody's results to see the change over the 20 minutes, and whose heated up the fastest and the slowest. this activity relates to my topic by when every thing starts to warm up it increases the chance of flooding.

activity 2

we learned about precipitation and how it changes in direction and in temperature .

why is nature playing April fools?

Nature is playing April fools because it gives us really warm weather then gives really cold weather like snow. so its like its going to get warm and stay warm then like ha ha nope then it gets really cold. so basically nature is trying to make us think that winter id finally gone and spring is here then it dumps snow on us again. la Nina has to do with this because it brings in cold weather and snow. the strong polar circulation is the circulation of the air. the jet stream brings in cold weather at different points in time depending on la Nina.
