Hurricane Lorenzo


October 1, 2019

Hurricane Lorenzo was the first category five hurricane to travel as far east as it did. Most hurricanes reach their peak over the warmer, more tropic waters like the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane Lorenzo reached its maximum strength in the North Atlantic ocean.

I think this article was very concise and to the point. The author did a good job of explaining the rarity of this kind of hurricane and what their usual path is.

    Do you know if there is any reason this hurricane occurred so far in the Atlantic as opposed to where it is usually seen?

    While this is a good evaluation of the author's purpose and execution, what are the implications? Try to go further with your response next time. :)

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
