Hurricane Ike

1.I read the article titled Hurricane Ike Delays cargo for space outpost. The second artice I read about was titles Hurricane Ike Pushes sea onto Texas islands.

2.The first article was about Russian and U.S space aginces postponing the date of when their space cargo shipment will dock. The reason they had to potpone the date is because Hurricane Ike was gaining strength and Texas was evacuted. Houstan, Tecas is where the space station is located.

3. The second article was about Hurricane Ike. Hurricane Ike is already posing a big threat onto Texas. 200,000 residents of Texas have evacuted from low lying areas of metro Houstan. Police offficers will be on stand by until friday night and then the people will be on their own. The military has 43 helicopters by just in case they need to do any search and rescue missions.

4.The article that was most disaterous was the second one. Hurricane Ike Pushes sea onto Texas. This is beacuse the article is saying how the Hurricane is affecting Texas. Many people had to evacuate to stay safe from the storm.

5. Both articles talk about the effect of Hurricane Ike and people evacuating. The first article only talks about how the hurricane will affect the space center and how they had to evacuate. The second artice talks about how many people of Houstan, Texas had to evacuate.

RECENT EARTHQUAKE

1. Earthquakes tend to happen around the pacific ocean, on the borders of asia and america.

2. I think this is because there are alot of faults in those areas for example California hs faults and thats where earthquakes are happening.

3.Earthquakes occur on or near the edges of tectonic plates where stress is most concentrated.

4. The closet earthquake to occur was in Southeastern Missouri.

5. A very strong earthquake had struck off of Canadas Pacific coast near Vancover Island. This earthquake happened at 5:37am local time.(1237 GMT) Natural Resources Canada said it was the largest of "a series of earthquakes occurring in the seismically active region".

In 1985 Deadly Lahras from Nevada del ruiz caused a bad flow. This flow had effected a whole city. Houses were destroyed. Alot of people were traped in their houses. A flow is a mass movement of materials containg a large amount of water and moving downhill as a thick fluid. There are two types mudflow and earthflo. Mudflow is the type of flow that Nevada expiernced.

The six crystal forms are cubic, tetragonal, hexagonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic. A purple flourite specimen is an cubic formed mineral. Zircon is an form of tetragonal mineral. A beryl is an example of an hexagonal mineral. An adimite is an example of an monoclinic mineral. A azurite is an example of an monoclinic mineral. A boleite is an example of a triclinic mineral. MIinerals come in all diffrent shapes, colors, and sizes.

The best renewable energy source is solar energy. Solar energy takes the light from the sun and turns it into energy. The equipment is very expensive but it pays off in the end. In some place you can do net marketing and pay very little if you use electric through your energy company. Net marketing is calculated by how much energy that you used of the energy company and how much you gave to the energy company. For example if your mom is at work and you and your sister at school and no ones home your energy will be put into the power lines of your neighborhood.

Like all resources available solar power has its downfalls. Besides it being very expensive at first, you cannot use it when the sun is not out or cloudy days when the sun doesn't shine alot. In places where they don't get alot of sunshine this may not be a good resource for them.

I think that in a few years there will be a way to store the electricity in some sort of battery that charges during the day and powers on at night.

My favorite map projection depends on what i need the map for. If I had to just choose a map I would pick the gnomic map. By placeing a piece of paper on a globe so that it touches a single point on the globes surface. This map can show the distance between places, even though the distances are a little off it can help people such as sailors, navigators, and travelers. It can easily show how far the one point is from another.
