When two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom come together they form water. Water is one of the most important things that humans need to survive. It is so important that humans can’t go more than four days without it. Water effects in more ways than you could imagine. It shapes the land we live on and has been doing so for tens of thousands of years. What makes this all possible is the water cycle. The cycle starts with evaporation. Water evaporates from lakes, rivers, streams and the ocean.…

This week school of natural science instructor, Peggy O’ Days briefly outlined the California gold rush and the effects of mining. First, she outlined the geography of California with an emphasis on the tectonic plates. She mentioned that the tectonic plates offer a hot bed of minerals that through time make mineral deposits on land. O’ Days mentioned the different ways mineral deposits are created, but did not thoroughly explain the process. Additionally, she gave a brief history of the year…

In the Great Depression, there were hardly any jobs. So, Franklin D. Roosevelt, also known as FDR, came up with a plan called the “New Deal.” The three main goals of this plan was relief, recovery, and reform. To accomplish those tasks, many groups were formed.

You might know it as the plant that ate the south. In this essay I will argue that humans should take action regarding invasive species because they could be dangerous for the environment and for the health of the humans. As is the case with the kudzu. Many people seem to be feared by the kudzu, yet they seem to not be doing anything about it. The kudzu is very known as the plant that ate the south. This type of species grows up to 1ft (30cm) every day in the summer months and can break…

The swamp covers six thousand (6000) hectares and consists of fifty-six percent (56%) of the mangrove on the island. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a…

Let's talk about snow. Most snow as we know it is actually 90% air as it falls from the sky. It's geodesic patterns and elaborate symmetrical designed flakes loose their shape as they come into contact with objects on Earth. When its builds up on these surfaces, the snow compacts itself into granular ice and then into firn as it gets into a dense form. Glacial ice is the most compact form next to ice containing 20% air composition. As we know as Mainer's, accumulation is the amount of measured…
