Hurricane Irene Project






Critical Thinking
1). What time of the year do hurricanes occur? Why do they only happen during that time?
Hurricanes occur during hurricane season which is from late June to the beginning of November. They happen during the hottest time of the months.
2). How can the timing of the Tides ( high or low) effect the devastation of a hurricane?
 If there's a  storm surge  and it arrives at the same time as the high and low tides, the water height will increase, causing the hurricane to grow stronger.
3). If an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
The hurricane will have more impact on that area. Because if the area cannot hold any water then it already have then it will flood (Flooding).
4). How does groundwater saturation affect rivers and streams? because
 water becomes the surface water in the form of springs, streams/rivers, lakes and wetlands.

Reflection
1). What is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?
I liked that we studied about different types of Hurricane Irene.
2). What was difficult for you on this project?
Collecting some of the  informations was difficult.
3). What would you change about your work on this project?
I would change grammar mistakes, while I was writing if something was misspelled.
4). How did this project help you learn about hurricane Irene?
I learn that Hurricane Irene are danderous. They rotate clockwise, they are strong tropical storms or winds. With many causes, such as destroying houses, causing trees to break, lower the economics and the lost of more money to rebuild things that were destroyed.
