There is a declining biodiversity that is intertwined with species extinction. As extinction is a normal part of nature. The rate it is happening now is not.

    I think that this is important and that it should be talked about more. I thought that the article you have chosen was very informational and that it even gives you links to other articles or a map that shows where the extinctions are happening. I think that there needs to be studies done to see why the rate is so high and figure out how to lower that rate as well.

    I think this is an important topic to talk about. This is a huge problem in today's world and we need to protect wildlife before they all become extinct. I think you picked a good blog because it talks about species that need help so they don't become extinct forever. If we don't help we might extinct another mass extinction soon if we don't act up.

    I think that he problem we are having with this right now should be more known and more talked about between people. I think this was a really good article and a great way of talking about what was all in the main article. I defiantly plan on going and reading this when I have a chance.

    This article was very informative about what’s happening with the wildlife, which I hear about this topic from time to time but never dove deep into it. This has been an ongoing problem in the world currently that we need to do something about the wildlife before it goes extinct.

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
