My article was on the hurricane sandy and how it went about in the north east. The article was very long and elaborate about how it went about and the damage it made there . I was interested by the article because of the storm being very current. And my mothers cousin being caught in the middle of the hurricane. This article falls under the environment Area of Interaction. This is because the hurricane was part of the environment and affected a lot of environments and changed the quite well.

Hurricane sandy a storm that started in the the atlantic ocean .The storm was on monday night. That night just happened to be the full moon resulting in already high tide that evening. With the the storm surge the Hurricane was extremely powerful. The hurricane must have seemed as though it was category one but it had a storm surge and power of category two. The storm had a cold front behind and warm front in the front powering it even more on land. The storm itself cause 20 billion dollars of damage. 9 billion just because of the wind and claimed 12 lives. The storm wind was magnified immensely in New York because of the tall sky scrapers making the wind push itself even faster through the gaps of the towers.

Weather


      There is an article on the weather in national geographic magazine the magazine article's statistic show the Air temperature, the humidity, heat waves, extreme rainfalls. All of these have risen and still are rising at a fast rate. This is causing the ice to melt and making the whole world a little warmer, more moist , and more rainy.


      Over the past 50 years the weather in the world has gotten very different. The weather is not suppose to change this drastically on its own. It is changing because of the things we influence it with. Such as polluting the ground and even shoveling the ground.we have effected the natural weather with our inventions over the past 50 years.

      This connects with daily life as I have actually noticed these things happen. I believe Have observed that the humidity as well as the heat and rainfall have been affected majorly. We have started to not get as bad winters and we have started to get less rain this all leads to os and our air pollution. This article interested me as it was about the world's weather and it was about us effecting the weather.The Area of interaction used for this would be environments. This would be because it is about our environments.
