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.

I use fluorite everyday to brush my teeth, it is in my toothpaste. I use Graphite everyday when i am at school because it is in my pencils. Halite sometimes is used because it is used to preserve food and for food seasonings, which is used in mostly all of our food. sometimes i wear a gold bracelet. i am using Quartz everytime I wash my hands which is alot!

This is about the canadas wind farms.
pros:
it will help our environment
we will have green energy. it will be better for our air.
cons:
its very expensive
it affects shoreline property values.
turbines aren't exactly a good view.
My opinion is that Canada should go through with this because it is helping us with the environment. This will cost alot of money but there going to help us too. The view and the fishing business is not really that big of a deal because we can import seafood and fish from other places or buy it at the grocery store. We need clean air to live and to have nature as well.
We could protest against this. We can even talk to Canada about the cause and effects of installing turbines. We could convince them to wait a while and see what happens first as well.
