EARTHQUAKE!!
A magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011 which in turn resulted in tsunamis. Humans all over the world are still feeling the effects of this massive earthquake, even here in Victoria where debris from the quake and tsunamis is being washed upon our shores.

Post #11 Biomes
The Drip Tip leaf is an adaptation of Flora in the Biome of the Tropical Rainforest. The drip tip is designed for the leaf to shed the water that may land on it. Due to the mass amounts of water that falls in this biome the drip tip helping the water get off the leaf and down to the lower ground to help water the plant.Monday, June 11, 2012
Post #10 Global Warming
The sea ice is melting in the colder regions due to global warming and the warming of the climate is effecting the temperature of the sea water which also increases the melting pace of the Ice sheets which are also known as Ice Burgs. The sea ice melting will impact humans at a later date because if all the ice burgs melt that means that that much more ice that has melted into water will now have no where to go but into the shores and there for created less land for us humans to live on. Once that water has engulfed that much more shore and with how our economy is vasly growing there will be a much greater struggle for everyone to find a home in the places they may wish.

This is an oblique air photo of the September 11th attack. An oblique air photo is a type of air photo. It is not like your typical straight-vertical style of a birds eye view. It is taken from a certain angle. As you can see, this picture shows the layers of smoke as they travel in between the buildings and around New York City as the twin towers/World Trades Center fall.
9/11
The photo above is of the World Trade Centers after getting struck by the Planes. It shows the smoke coming up off the buildings before collapsing. This could provide good insight to those generations to come as to how big the catastrophe was. The second image is of after the 9/11 incident and everything got cleared away. It looks haunting.
Biome
Bears live in deciduous forests. They hibernate in winters and have thick furs to keep themselves warm.
Icelandic volcano eruption
sattilite of tsunami buddz
In this photo, geologists can use this phone to determine how far the water went inland, they can also use this image to approximate the damage caused by the tsunami including building damage and more. This is a great before and after image of the devastating Tsunami that stuck Sri Lanka On December 26, 2004, tsunamis swept across the Indian ocean, spawned by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Sumatra.
satelite things
This is a picture taken by a satellite of a valcanoe erupting, satelites can track the ash as it blows across continents and inform news stations to send out warnings.
