Hurricane Irence

Critical Thinking:
1.What time of the year do hurricanes occur? Why do they only happen during that time?

The hurricanes always happen during the summer and the reason that hurricane only happen during that time is beacuse the hurricanes need warm water to make energy. when the hurricanes come it can cause flooding and saturation.

2.How can the timing of the tides(high or low) effect the devastation of a hurricane?

When the high tides come is cause the sea level increase on the ocean.The ocean water will be higher so that make the hurricanes more stronger.

3.If an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
    If the area is fully satuated the hurricane have more impact on this area. because the water can't go into the ground so that cause the groundwater go up and make the flooding.

4.How does groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams?

The groundwater saturation is affect the water in river and stream. When the water can't go to the ground it cause the water level increase on the river and stream.

Reflection:

1. What is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?

The things that I like about this project is I can learn about differnent Hurricane Irene in the class. like hurricane, tides, flooding and water cycle.

2. What was difficult for you on you on this project?

The most difficult for me in this project is to read a lot on the textbook and find out the infromation that in the book.

3. What would you change about your work on this project? 

One thing i would change in this project is to use more scientific word and make the work more interesting.

4. How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?

In this project I do many research and found many information from the book. When I am reading I get many new infromation that cames to my mind. So the reading is very helpful for me to learn about the hurricane.
