Planet Description (What is it like on this planet?):
Saturn is a planet that is similar to Jupiter but is a little bit smaller, but is the second largest planet in our Solar System after Jupiter. It is a gas giant planet. Saturn is the least dense planet in our Solar System and is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium.

2 Interesting Facts:
1.Saturn has seven rings orbiting around it and three main rings are called the A,B,C rings named by the astronomers who discovered them.
2.Sometime is easy to see the rings of Saturn if we use telescope, but sometimes they disappeared and this happened in 2008-2009 and it will happen again in 2024-2025.

Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

1.What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
Hurricane is a topical cyclone that happens in the summer when the water is warm. So in summer, there are higher chances of a hurricane to happen than in winter.
2.Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
Because when there is a high tide, means that the water level is high and that can cause flooding, saturation and damages.
3.If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
In these saturated areas, the ground is too wet, and when the ground is too wet it can not handle it and that can cause damages.
4.Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
Because flooding is when water accumulate and covers every space, so if the ground would be saturated or too wet, it would cover every space and cause flooding.

Reflection


1.What is something that you liked about this project?
I liked making my own blog.
2.What was difficult for you on this project?
Answering some questions was a little difficult.
3.What would you change about your work on this project?
I would collect more information to be more specific on my answers.
4.How did this project help you learn bout Hurricane Irene?
I didn't know a lot about Hurricanes until we started this project. This project helped me to understand more about this topic and learn more about it's causes and effects.
