| Hurricane |
Hurricane occurs in summer time. During that time the ocean is extremely warm. Tropical cyclone often happen in the warmest part of the ocean. Tropical Cyclone is a strong wind that creates hurricane.
How can the timing of the tides (high or low) effect the devastation of hurricane?
Tides are the daily rise and fall of the ocean. If an hurricane happens while the tides' level is high, it will cause flooding. Which means a high amount of water will get out of the ocean and will stay immobile at one place.
If an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
Eventually, if an area is fully saturated, hurricane will have more impact on this area. The main reason is because the water couldn't infiltrate deep into the ground, it was already wet. From the additional rain of the hurricane, there will be ground water and that certainly will result to a flood.
How does groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams?
Ground water saturation causes the rivers and streams' water level to increase. It also causes rivers to overflow.
Reflection
What is something that you liked about this Mini-project?
I liked the fact that we got to study about natural disaster and especially hurricane. Last time when hurricane Irene happened, I was wondering how did it happen. Now I know the answer.
What was difficult for you on this project?
The most difficult thing for me was finding the right answer to certain questions.
What would you change about your work on this project?
I think it could have been better if each group presented their topic to the whole class. I would have had more time to ask questions.
How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
During this project I learned about the causes and effects of hurricane. There was a student who had studied all matters about hurricane with his/her group. He/she gave a short presentation about it. I also had a mini lesson about hurricane. It was taught by my teacher. I had to read a short paragraph about hurricane and answer some questions about it. All this contributed and helped me have a better understanding about hurricane Irene.
