about floridas sinkholes

author:Michael Letcher
1. Sinkholes are caused when a crack in underground limestone,They appear when the limestone underneath the soil dissolves resulting in a shift or depression in the surface soil.
2. Florida has so many of them because there are a feature of Florida's natural karst topography and the sinkholes provide a primary pathway for rainwater to replenish subsurface groundwater and that is an important part of the aquifer system that supplies 95% of Florida's drinking water.
3.Due to the cold weather that's been so damaging to Florida's citrus crops this winter has led sinkholes
4. Another hazard besides property damage is price and availability of homeowners insurance. And blocking highways and roads, damaging cars.

a bout the nashville floods
The Nashville flood was the rising of the Cumberland River it was overflowing from a thunderstorms. The Cumberland River was 50 feet above what it normally is. There are levees and flood control dams to prevent flooding. The problem is that the water levels were too high and powerful for these two things.

Windspires
date:may 17th
http://www.wcs.k12.mi.us/rei/index.htm
author: Warren Consolidated Schools
Grosse Pointe North should not raise money to to install a Windspire because we cant afford to install one. It costs alotta money and takes alot of time and help from other people to get this set up.
People might complain that it was too much money, and also to loud or it is taking up to much space.
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.

Iceland Volcano

found on blog sheet
about the Eyjafallajojull
Why is there a volcano erupting in Iceland? The reason is because the plates have split and risen up the strato volcano
Why is an Iceland volcano grounding most of air travel in Europe? The reason is because it is all ash. You cant fly planes throught the ash it will mess up the engine.
Besides stopping air travel, what is another negative effect of the volcano’s eruption? The air pulluted, its getting ashy,and many towns had to be evacuated
Why isn’t this volcano affecting the United States? It hasnt been blown are way. We are west of Iceland and the air blows from west to east.
