BLOG ACT 1.

I thought the lab was kind of cool because my hopothesis was wrong and i didn't expect it to be. I learned something new.

I learned that Sand heated faster than the dark soil, which i didn't expect. Then the dirt, and then the water. I thought that it would be dark soil, sand, then water.

I'm not sure how this really applies to cyclones. Cyclones are my topic and i don't really know anything about cyclones yet, that's why i chose it.

climate change.

The climate changes from many different factors. Burning coal, oil, and natural gases release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It can also affect the climate in other ways. It could even change the severity and the duration of storms or droughts. Many human activities affect the climate as well, though. Cutting down forests and raising cattle are examples too. Wastes being recycled and waste prevention reduce methane emissions, save energy, and increases the carbon produced in forests. If there are any rapid changes in the environment’s climate, then there will be a very large effect on plants and animals in their natural environment.
