Hurricane Irene Project

CRITICAL THINKING RESPONSES

1-What time of the year do hurricanes occur? Why do they only happen during that time?
Hurricanes occur during the summer because, the water of the ocean is more warm and makes trade winds to meet. After they meet and rotated as in a spiral they made the eye of the hurricane. Which become more strong and formed the eye-wall.
2-How can the timing of the tides (high or low) effect the devastation of a hurricane?
If the tides get low, there wouldn't be any effect everything will be normal. But if the tide gets High there will be a big effect, there would be damage, destruction and eve flooding.
3-If an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
There would be less impact because the water is saturated so it means the water is already under the ground. Deep inside the soil.
4-How does groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams?
  Groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams because it increase the level of the water, so rivers and streams overflows.

I liked the way we can show our opinions and our knowledge about what we learned about this topic.
2-What was difficult for you on this project?
It was kind of difficult because we have to use every vocabulary words on every response.
3-What would change about your work on this project?
I would change that if everybody could choose their topic. That everybody could have their own project.
4- How did this project help you  learn about hurricane Irene?
It helps me to know about how a hurricane get formed and  and also when and where it could happen.
