2040, more than a million acres of Louisiana will vanish. This is important that Louisiana’s wetlands protection is ensured since it helps protect the coast from hurricanes and storms, they provide a home for wildlife, and is a part of Louisiana’s culture. Louisiana’s wetlands and coast provide protection from storms and hurricanes. Without the help of the wetlands and coast, storms will cause more storm surge, causing more flooding. Also, they protect the state from high winds by powering…

This year it becomes a reality as the Hurricanes will travel to Charleston, South Carolina to play in the South Carolina Homeschool Tournament.

Climate change is already a problem is South Florida. Some people are using this to profit. There are floating villages being made from rocky quarries. There is development company that made floating villages that are expensive, but have a climate-conscious design, they can resist natural disasters better than other buildings can. The businesses are still focused on how to make money and keep growing even while there is impending disaster. The floating villages is just one of the many floating…

Hurricanes are benefitting from the effects of climate change. Humans should be concerned about how climate change intensifies natural disasters, more specifically hurricanes, for it affects our lives and the environment. Places susceptible to hurricanes, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific Ocean, will be hit by more intense storms in the future if we are not mindful of how to slow down climate change. Hurricanes are formed when the moist air from the surface of oceans rise and…

Tornadoes and hurricanes; both mother-nature’s way of sending a punch in the face to earth. Often confused, most people aren’t educated upon the likes and differences of these two natural phenomena. You may be asking; “What causes a tornado or hurricane? They can’t just pop up out of thin air.” Cyclones have to have extremely precise circumstances to form. Tornadoes can actually spawn from thunderstorms, as the warm air rises into the cold air to create a dangerous reaction: a tornado.…

Though all the technology discussed in the passages are very interesting and useful devices. The Dropsonde Hurricane Sensor seems to be the most useful for researchers and explorers today. The 'Mailbox', discussed in the first passage, "sent powerful jets of water down curved metal tubes..The clear water flushes away 40ft. wide strips of sand on the murky ocean floor." (found under the picture near line 6). This machine helps people find underwater treasures. When it comes down to it, it's not…

Jacobsen argues in his article. Meera Subramanian, an award-winning journalist who has been published in the New York Times, Nature, discusses the effects that Hurricane Sandy had on New York City. She specifically talks about one section of New York called Rockaway beach. She goes there to find out how they are preparing for storms such as Hurricane Sandy. Richard George, a local artist that had no experience or knowledge about trees, dune ecology, or sea surges, was given money so he could…

masts, and mass destruction met his gaze; there was even a large vessel, inland several hundred feet- he knew that was not right; his thoughts immediately went to the storm that grazed them several days earlier. That must have been one, helluva hurricane to do that, thought Thomas. He saw people working to clean up the mess- some people were hauling debris, others, were gathering what appeared to be dead bodies… He started to turn his ship in the opposite direction, but his conscious would not…
