Glaciers Melting

 Kayla Karpe 

Glaciers that are native to Iceland and other places such as Antarctica are melting. It is causing the sea levels to rise which is one of the largest threats. The glaciers that are melting are causing the sea levels to rise by 21% founded by scientist at Ohio State University. It is also found that glaciers have been melting quicker. Losing about 31% of snow and ice that should be lost 15 years from now.

    I think that this a good topic to talk about because we all live on land and sea levels rising are not good things, because floods and other water storms destroy people’s homes and towns. I love that your article has pictures and videos proving what they are talking about. What do you think is causing the glaciers to melt at such a fast rate?

    Glaciers melting is a topic that is being talked about a lot in class. And the article helped me out with the rising of the sea levels that are affecting the rate of the glaciers melting. Do you think there’s a way to slow down the rising of the sea levels, so the glaciers won’t melt as fast?

On Shaky Ground

By: Hannah Meadows The New Madrid fault line is a growing danger right under peoples feet. Most people don’t realize how catastrophic it would be if the fault line went off and the worst part… there is no telling when it will go off. Usually, earthquakes wouldn’t be an issue in places like California because all of their buildings are built to withstand earthquakes. However, the New Madrid fault line sits right along southern Missouri and Missouri is known for its sedimentary rock. This means an earthquake in Missouri would cause all buildings and houses to be buried since they aren’t built to withstand earthquakes. Now what would the statistics really look like if the New Madrid fault line were to go off unexpectedly?  84,000 buildings damaged and 37,000 more destroyed, almost entirely residences  Over 15,000 people killed and an additional 120,000 displaced Nearly 200 schools and over 100 fire stations would be damaged  37 hospitals and 67 police stations would be compl...

Energy: Hydropower Pros and Cons

Image
 Hydropower is not often talked about as a primary option for sustainable energy, however, 6.6% of energy produced in the U.S. is through hydropower, compared to solar energy which happens to only be 2.3% and is usually the first thought when someone mentions “clean energy.” The reason for this being the majority hydropower plants only give energy to large-scale, industrial operations.  Hydropower boasts a few positives that make it a viable option, those being that it is reliable, safe, and produces a very low amount of emissions. Other than that, they are fairly expensive to build, and they have a very realistic potential to cause droughts. Hydropower is an interesting source of energy and as of now it is only really used for industrial use, however in the future there is a very real possibility for it to be used to power residential areas.  https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/hydroelectric-energy-pros-and-cons#pros-and-cons

They called it a shrinking world because our technology is getting even better and better. Anyways going into the article there is a graph and a description of the burgeoning population of the globe. After it talk about this problem it gets into how this can help our food problem and how we are on our way to a new type of farming. It ends off with them giving numbers on there work with BI intelligence and how much money they made in 2020 and what they are projected to make in 2050.
