Earth Day 3-2-1

What are three things you learned?

  • One thing that I learned was that the Earth will become so polluted that the air would be toxic to breathe if we don't go green.
  • The second thing that I learned was that there would be less worrying about not polluting the air we breathe and about things we as people shouldn't worry about.
  • The third thing that I learned was that if people didn't listen then they wouldn't save money or cut any heating costs or energy costs.


What are two things you found interesting?

  • One thing I found interesting was the many things people can do to help with pollution like carpooling, using less electricity and other things like this.
  • The Second thing that I found interesting was that the littlest things can help pollution on.y if people just take the time out to help.


What is one question you still have?

  • How long will it take for the Earth to pollution free?

Air Prussure

1. What is air pressure?
  • Air pressure is pressure that is exerted in all directions.

2. Where is the closest high pressure system to Fayetteville? (city, state)

  • Memphis, TN
3. What is the weather (temperature, precipitation, cloud cover) like there?
  • The weather temperature is about 54 degrees F. There is a 10% chance of precipitation, and some clouds.
4. Where is the closest low pressure system to Fayetteville? (city, state)
  • Dover, New Hampshire
5. What is the weather (temperature, precipitation, cloud cover) like there?
  • The weather temperature is about 42 degrees F. There is a 60% chance of precipitation, and it is pretty cloudy.

FIVE Astronomy Topics

Black Holes -are really just black holes whcih are formed by a star three times as big as the sun.Black holes where discovered in 1916 ny a Greman astronomer Karl Schwarzschild.Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that can pull anything within it radius into the hole.

Pluto -which is a dwarft plante was dicovered in 1930 and from the 1930s to 2006 pluto was a planet. Throught out the years we have benn able to see that pluto is way to small and clod plus tyo fat away from the sun to be a plante. Pluto is still part of our solar system just not cualtified as a planet.

Dwarf plant- there are eight dwarf planets know of in our solar system. Dwarf planets are in orbit around the sun. They also have nearly round bodies which has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium.

Kuiper Belt- is a ring of orbiting celestial bodies. The ring is made of small astronomical objects orbiting through the outer solar system, beyond the farthest planets, Neptune and Pluto. The Kuiper Belt is believed to be the source of comets.

Asteroid Belt- The region of the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, where most of the asteroids are found. The Asteroid Belt or Main Belt, probably contains millions of asteroids ranging widely in size. There are more than 20,000 numbered asteroids in the asteroid belt.

Worst Weather Events

1. Which weather events kill the most Americans?
  • Hurricanes
2. Which weather events kill the most people (in the world)?
  • Flooding
3. Are your answers to those two questions different? Why or why not?
  • Yes my answers are different to the two questions because the two are to different weather conditions that happen in the world.
4. Read this article. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
  • I agree for there to be a week of flood awareness so that Americans can know the dangerous that occur during a flood. With knowing this information you are safe during a flood and know how to react to different problems.
5. For your response to #1, find three weather events. Describe what happened (how severe was the storm, did anyone get hurt or die, how much property damage, include pictures, etc.).
  • On August 28th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the southern coast of the United States with devastating effect. It was reported that more then 1,800 people lost there lives, and more then $81 billion dollars in damages occurred.
  • Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States. It was the ninth named storm, fifth hurricane
  • and third major hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. It was Cape Verde-type hurricane, Ike was blamed for at least 195 deaths.

4 Essential Questions

  1. What, specifically about your topic, are you going to research? How steam pollution affects our great lakes.
  2. What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference? Be specific. This is the main part of your assignment. The conclusion that I came up with was to let citizen know the risk of what will happen in steam pollution dose not stop or any other pollution. The average citizen can make a difference by stopping how much that they litter or to petition against factories that pollute the air and water supply and finding was to make products that will not hurt are water supply. The main part of the assignment is to find information that will help inform people on steam pollution and to find ways to stop or lessen this type of pollution.
  3. What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations? The worst-case scenario if nobody list to my recommendations people will get really sick or the animals that live in are great lakes might die off and with this happening in the water there will be more contamination' in our water supply.
  4. What would happen if, best-case scenario, everybody listened to your recommendations? If everybody listened to my recommendations animals will be saved from sicknesses and are water supply will be safer for everyone.
