ACT science

1. 32 out of 40
2. The things that could better improve my skills are a better understanding of the info being read.
3. More knowledge would improve the understanding of the topic and questions.
4. I do think higher questions could improve but at the same time also make the topic harder to understand.
5. Im not doing so good on my final project only because i havent chosen what i want to do.

Sewer Treatment plant

    What i learned about the water treatment plant is how the water is ran through many machines and how its cleaned, i also learned how much water can be ran through the cleaning processes, dispite the smell the water treament plant and the vast opening of job careers is very intersting.
     what i would do deffently about the water treament plant is the way of income, they need a better more stable way for the treament plant to stay sucessful for a long time.

   Recycling is the only way the world is going to survie unless we keep adding to the pile of junk we could be recycling, i have recycled for about 2 years now and i will never stop because it is now a daily process for me, plus id like to live as long as possible.

The day after tomorrow post

    5 observations are one the mass storm that was hitting the united states, two three storms all located  over the world, three abrupt climate change, global cooling instead of warming, five how fast the temp. rapidly droped to a frezzing temp.

First discussion Abrupt climate change- When scientists speak about abrupt climate change they mean within five or ten years up to a century. For on-screen drama, events was compressed to a couple of days to weeks and, put simply, Ice Ages do not occur, nor do they retreat, overnight. Climate change has happened a couple of times over the last 13,000 years but, unlike in the movie, never in a few days time. A complete shut down of the Gulf Stream is possible and is believed to have happened in the geologic past however, it is not expected to occur within the 21st century. It would require a 9°F (5°C) average global temperature increase to create all the conditions necessary for a complete stoppage of this ocean current.

Second discussion Can Global warming causes global cooling instead- Yes it can, but not over several days as depicted in the movie. Over geologic time Earth has gone through several ice ages followed by inter-glacial warming periods. One possible cause of major periods of glaciation is a change in the tilt of Earth's axis causing a corresponding change in the intensity and location of sun isolation.

 1.How could climate change happen? The climate change would happen over many years not just in a few weeks to a few months.

2. Could it happen like it did in the movie. No i dont believe it could happend like it did in the movie The day after tomorrow because the mass amount of  changes can not happen in only a few months.

3. How can climate change effect the issue you did your research on? The change could effect the time it takes for the world to have a "super storm" and many facts of scientist can prove that a super storm will not happen in a matter of days, weeks, nor months.
