Florida Waters Treasure Hunters

Decent Essays
In these three passages; "Florida Waters Treasure Hunters" by Scott L. Key; "Weather Reconnaissance" by Harriet Jane Caldwell; and "Search For Ancient Civilization" by Juan De Los Santos, they all share a similarity. They share similarities of finding hidden treaure, also where and when storms are going to hit and ancient civilizations. But they also have differences like what tehnology they use to find those things.

I think that in the passage "Search for Ancient Civilization" they used the best advanced technology to find their objects. Their device that they use is very much like a lawn mower called the GPR. When you drag it across the ground, it sends out microwave energy's underneath the ground to the burried object. When it hits the object, the energy would bounce off of it back up to the device. They used their state of the art software the analyze the echos and make a 3D map of what it looks like. The GPR has many things in it like in lines 11-14 "The laser light pulses combined with other data, such as GPS, generate three-dimensional data about the ground". The Archeologists found many amazing finds with this technology.

In "Florida Waters Treasure Hunters" they also have great technology. A group of Treasure

Inthe old days they used to have planes go into the eye of the hurricane to tell the weather as in lines 9-11 "Between altitudes of 1,000 to 10,000 feet, Hurricane Huntrs fly through three parts of a hurricane: an eye, an eyewall, and spiral rain bands. Now we have satelite that takes photos of the earh and shows us how big the storms are. W also use a stick called a Dropsonde Hurricane Sensor. This new technology helps us out because the U.S Air Force uses this 24/7 to scout if any hurricanes are coming in lines 8-12. It also helps because it helps the people know either to get ready for a storm incase it could be a dangerous

It’s hard to not think that if the word hurricane was uttered thousands of lives would of been saved. The American and Cuban weather forecasters had disagreements on how informing the people should be done. Forecasters in Cuban often said it as it was, referring to the storm as “a cyclonic disturbance…”. The Americans did not use the terms “cyclonic” or even risked saying hurricane for the fear of unnerving the public.…

    An ariplane called AT-6, which happens to be a two-passenger fighter plane, was the first airplane ever to be flown into a hurricane. This airplane and the people within it, led to a great deal of exploration. Within altitudes of 1,000 feet through 10,000 feet, the hurricane hunters travel through the eye, the calmest part of the hurricane, the eye wall, the roughest part of a hurricane, and the spiral rain bands, which have heavy showers of rain that swirl inward. These airplanes gather data which is sent to weather stations. With this data, researchers can gather the conditions of the hurricane including miles per hour, location, or time and place of its landfall, and descibes how serious a hurricane is.…

    Modern Archeologists have a range of different non-intrusive archeological survey techniques available to them when locating and interpreting a site for excavation. These techniques prove useful in locating sites before any excavation is needed and can also assist during the excavation process. They help bring many mediums of data together to make a clear report of the archeological site and any finds that lead from that. The techniques include but are not limited to, looking at historic maps, aerial photography, LiDAR, analytical survey, field walking and geophysics and Geographical Information System (GIS). All of these techniques are useful to an archeologist however, they all have varying degrees of expense, financially, in manpower and…
