The Earth's Wonders

1. rainwater collections, geothermal A/C and solar photovoltaic power systems

2. A rainwater collection system is like a reservoir, where water is collected from the rain that is captured in the roof gutters.
Geothermal a/c is an air condition that is powered by the heating of the earth.
Silicon Solar solar cells enable solar enthusiast and students to experiment with the powers of solar energy. Whether you are powering a small fan or a competition race boat, we have the custom solution for you.

3. Conservation & Biodiversity

4. Nature's gifts are being threatened by human activity

5. if you become aware of poorly maintained storage equipment that is at risk of leaking, or is already leaking, and could cause environmental damage, you must take action to stop environmental damage. If your action does not succeed in reducing the risk, you must report it to your environmental regulator.

It moved through the island that day, it also crossed the Carribean Sea on October 8, Ocober 9-12 it made a north-northeast, Haiti on October 12, Bahamas on October 13, on October 14 it turned northwestward. It then turned north and fastened towards the coast of Carolina boarder. After 12 hours took the storm from the coast across the eastern United States into southeastern Canada as it became extratropical. High winds occurred over large portions of the eastern United States. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina reported a high wind surge of 106 mph, and winds were estimated at 130 to 150 mph along the coast between Myrtle Beach and Cape Fear, North Carolina. Washington, DC reported 78 mph sustained winds, and high surges of over 90 mph occurred as far northward as inland New York state. A storm surge of up to 18 ft inundated portions of the North Carolina coast. Heavy rains of up to 11 inches occurred as far northward as Toronto, Canada resulting in severe flooding.

2nd Quarter. Already!!!

It's Astonishing, the thesis itself was amazing because scientist are able to find that out just by studying the earth and its axis. 95%-100%, because I did my best to get my points across.


Atmospere Characteristics was my favorite topic because it informes me about my surroundings and what im breathing in and what it might be like to go through the layers of the atmosphere.

It's Astonishing

Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Earth's Day, Shifted Axis
The Huffington Post

Earth's days may have gotten a little bit shorter since the massive earthquake in Chile, but don't feel bad if you haven't noticed.
The difference would be only about one-millionth of a second.

I do agree with this because if you look at logic and scientific facts it can be proven the Earth's days were shortened, but Ialso disagree from a religious point of view.
