Planeth


        URANUS

Planet Order 7 from the sun
Distance from the sun: 3 million km
Mass: 14.54 km.    
Diameter: 51,120 km, or 4 times earth's.
Rotation: 17n 14 min.
Revolution: 84. 0 y
Number of Moons: 24
Terrestrial or Jovian


Uranus is like large, gaseous planet with thin, dark rings. Atmosphere is hydrogen, helium, and methane. Axis of rotation is nearly parallel to plane of orbit. Has at least 24 moons.

Interesting things oddly, the axis of Uranus is horizontal, the planet appears to be lying on its side its poles point toward the sun. Axis of rotation is nearly parallel to plane of orbit.

Hurricane Irene Project

1. What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
The sea surface temperature must be excess of 26c. The hot sea the stronger the hurricane will be, and       caused flooding and destruction. Hurricanes only happen in an area of the world that the climate is hot. Hurricanes need warm sea water feed it self and grow. 
2. Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
When the moon, sun and earth form a right angle, affect because water are strong that go out the oceans bands, causing flooding.
3. If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
The water table is "above the grass.'' If this happen people will have flooding, plants will die, people will have water in their home.
4. Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
More flooding, when the ground is fully saturated because there is no where for the water to go.

Reflection

Learn about how happen thing in our ecosystem.
2. What was difficult for you on this project?
One part of groundwater, zone saturation.
3. What would you change about your work on this project?
          work in group?
4. How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
Help to know more about how happen thing around you.
