Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

What time of the year do a hurricane occur?
Hurricanes happens during the period of June through November. It happens during this time because this is when in the north it gets hot and in the south its cold. So when a wind from both sides meet neer a warm water ocean  they  rotate on a cycle causing a lot if evaporation, precipitation, high winds and big waves. All at the same time.

How can the timing of the tides effect the divesting of a hurricane?
The tides rice the water witch makes more evaporation and and when the water precipitates the high tides make the water to accumulate and that causes over flows.

If  an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
Yes, Because the  water will not  be able to go away. witch will cause many over flows and mudslides.

How does groundwater saturation affects rivers and streams?
Ground water is when the precipitation of  water is high, the water Will not be able to infiltrate so the water will run off to the rivers and like  hurricane Irene will cause rivers to overflow.

Reflection

What is something that you liked about this mini-project?
Something that i liked about this mini-project is that we all learn one topic and then we teach each other a mini lesson.

What was difficult for you on this project ?
It was a little hard to learn  a lot of a topic in one day but we took notes so it wasn't hard to remember what we learn.

what would you change about your work on this project?
I will try to research as many details so me and my class mates will learn more.

How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
well I learn the reasons of over flows and the causes of a hurricane and the affects.
