Hurricane Irene


                                          


1. What time of the year do hurricanes occur? Why do they only happen during that time?
  • Hurricane mostly occur/happen in summer because in that time water level/temperature would be high in the ocean. 
2. How can the timing of the tides (high or low) effect the devastation of a hurricane?
  • The tides effect the devastation of a hurricane more and more because on that time the river, lake, ocean overflows faster.
3. If an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
  • The saturated have more impact on area because the ground will be already wet so water will start taking trees down. (If ground were already wet the water can easily start devastating by itself). 
4. How does groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams?
  • The groundwater saturation affects rivers and streams because all the water goes into river which make rivers water level high it cause flooding.


Reflection
1. What is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?
  • The most interesting part of this mini-project is that we received lot of knowledge about hurricane, flooding, ocean, earth, moon, and sun. And I also like about this project is that we obtain lot of information in less time.
2. What was difficult for you on this project?
  • That I determine lot of information about Hurricane Irene. 
3. What would you change about your work on this project?
  • I will be more specific about all these question effects and all other information that I have in this project.
4. How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
  • This project provide me lot of information how hurricane happen when it happen. And I learn about how river, oceans overflow about flooding. And the main thing I learn is I gained lot of vocabulary.
