Hurricane Alicia

I chose Hurricane Alicia because it reminds me of Alice In Wonderland and that is the newest movie from Tim Burton. =D Hurricane Alicia was rated as a category 3 hurricane. Alicia formed on August 15th, 1983. It was fromed over the northern center of the Gulf of Mexico, and moved slowly towards the west and northwest while getting stronger on the 16th and 17th. This movement brought Hurricane Alicia to the western end of Galveston Island, Texas on August 18. Alicia moved into Nebraska on the 21st. The Coast Guard in Galveston reported sustained winds of 96 miles per hour with gusts up to 125 miles per hour.

Alicia was resposible for 21 deaths and about $2 billion dollars in damage in the United States.

Greenhouse Effect

IR Radiation is also known as heat or infrared radiation. The three main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane and water. I think the greenhouse effect is a bad thing. It gives to much heat to earth, and it raises the sea levels which helps contribute to floods.

2nd quarter blog grade

I believe I deserve a grade in the 90s again. I believe this because I have once again done very well on my blogs and I turn them in mostly on time, except for that one day that the computers were being really mean to me. So there was blog post number 6 that is late, but thats thanks to the laptops being against me. Other than that I believe I deserve in the 90s because I don't really have any grammar mistakes, and I use words correctly and answer the questions completely. =]

Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Oceans natural resources include: oil and gas fields, polymetallic nodules, sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, and fish. Polymetallic nodules, also called manganese nodules, are rock concretions on the sea bottom formed of concentric layers of iron and manganese hydroxides around a core. Sand and gravel aggregates provide cement and concrete. Placer deposits are accumulations of valuable minerals formed by deposition of dense mineral phases in a trap site. Everybody of course, should know what oil and gas fields and fish are, I think its somewhat obvious.

Periods
