Florida's Sinkholes

Plant Management in Florida Water

1. Sinkholes originate beneath the surface when groundwater moves through the limestone and erodes large voids, or cavities, in the bedrock.

2. broken irrigations systems or broken storm pipes.

3.They start to get more unstable, get bigger, and form lakes.

4. Harmful wastes may be involved.

Nashville Floods

Floods Prompt Evacuations in Nashville

1. What caused the flooding was the rising of the Cumberland River, overflowing from two days of drenching thunderstorms.
2. The Cumberland River was 5o feet above what it normally is.
3. Nashvilles water treatment plants were submerged under water. So pumping water didn't work. They had people lower the consumption of water...and it didn't work either.

Oil Diaster

2. The coast of New Orleans and the coast of The Gulf Of Mexico.
3. It kills the animals, causes pollution and fires.
4. Bigger than football fields
5. They are trying to put a big dome over it to stop it from leaking and going onto the shore. No success because it is crystalizing.

Windspires

Warren Consolidated Schools

Grosse Pointe North shouldn't raise money for a windspire. I feel like many people would think it was a waste of money kind of like the pond. Yes the windspire could be a interesting and a unique way to learn, but it would also take a lot to raise all that money for the windspire.

Most neighbors may get annoyed from the noise or the fact that its 35 feet tall. They may also be concerned that the windspire may lower their property cost.

Windspires would help with the needs of our house because we use lots of electricity and with the windspire it will lower the bill a little and be better for the environment.

Kennecott's Plan:
5. They will use the sub-aqueous disposal method. It permanently places tailings underwater so it prevents oxidation and harms animals or causes an other environmental issues.

Icelands Volcanoe

1. The plate tectonics could have caused a small earthquake and shook the volcano causing it to erupt.

2. The air is now polluted and is dangerous for humans and animals.

3.Because it is all ash and you can't fly a plane through the ash. It also messes up the engine.

4. The U.S. is far from where the volcano erupted.
