Gradual increase of the world’s overall temperature – caused by greenhouse gases in atmosphere
Global Warming.
What kind of rock is needed for a aquifer to form? Explain why.
(DONT THINK ABOUT ANY ROCK IN THE ROCK CYCLE)
Permeable Rock,
Permeable Rock has the ability to let eater seek through its cracks so that the water can enter the aquifer.
What's the difference between a city that is warned or alerted about a potential a natural disaster AND a city that is not aware or warned of a in coming natural disaster?
The city that is warned/alerted has the chance to prepare or evacuate, which will prevent a lot of deaths and damages.
The city that is not warned or alerted will have more deaths and damages because they wont see the disaster coming. They will be hit off guard.
After we use it all, we can grow or mined more. What is this?
Renewable Resource
Once we use it all, its gone! We wont be able to get more of it IN OUR LIFE TIME because it takes millions of years to form.
Non-Renewable Resource.
A threat of a naturally occurring event that will have a negative effect on humans
Natural Hazard
The earth is getting hotter and hotter due to Global Warming, what are two effect will this have on the ocean and its organism? (HINT: Ice, reefs)
Ocean levels will rise due to the ice melting.
Reefs will begin to bleach (mold)
Louisiana population is shrinking at a intense rate.
What effect will that have on Louisiana water supply?
The shrinking populations in Louisiana will cause Louisiana’s water supply to NOT be used at an increasing rate. Therefore Louisiana will preserve a lot of its water.
The top of it has a entry and exit but the one under it doesn't. Matter of fact, to get to the one at the bottom we must first collapse the one above it. What are these?
Unconfined Aquifers
Confined Aquifers
a threat of a naturally occurring event will have a negative effect on humans
Natural Hazard
Resources that take millions of years to be made – cannot be replaced in our lifetime
Non-Renewable Resource
Sea Levels/ Ocean Levels will decrease.
If there is no salt water and instead is fresh water in the southern part of Texas, what can we predict about the water in the aquifers?
The aquifers are filled with fresh water as well.
when the hazardous threat actually happens and harms humans
Natural Disaster
the trapping of heat inside the atmosphere
Global Warming
Non-renewable source of energy made from dead plants and animals from millions of years ago
Fossil Fuels
Which kind of rock can most likely found is New Orleans? Why?
Sedimentary Rock because New Orleans is surrounded by a lot of water and Sedimentary Rocks need water to help it form.
Louisiana population is growing at a intense rate.
What effect will that have on Louisiana water supply?
Growing populations in Louisiana will cause Louisiana’s water supply to be used at an increasing rate. This may cause the water/aquifers to empty at a increasing rate.
What will cause the 6th Mass Extinction. How?
Humans. We are increasing the amount of CO2 that goes into the atmosphere.
What are the difference between a permeable rock and non permeable rock?
Permeable rocks have cracks/space in between that allows water to enter.
Non Permeable rocks doesn't have cracks/space. These rocks are more solidified so that water cannot enter.
Mathematical models used to predict the path, strength and impact of hurricanes before they make landfall
Hurricane Prediction Model
If there is no fresh water and instead is salt water in the southern part of Texas, what can we predict about the water in the aquifers?
The aquifers are filled with salt water as well.
How have new advancements in technology helped people living in natural disaster zones like tornado, hurricanes, and even earthquakes?
It gives people more warnings and prevents fewer deaths and damages.
What kind of rock is a great example of a non permeable rock?
igneous rock
What effect does global warming have on hurricanes?
Global warming is the earth heating up. If the earth heats up, that mean the water is warmer/hotter. Hurricanes are formed by warm/hot ocean waters. This causes more evaporation in our oceans. Which causes more rain and a more dramatic water cycle thru convection. So the more global warming = more or stronger hurricanes.
