Dams

‼ The things that could be avoided are that larger dans are more expensive, so if they build a smaller or a normal size dans that would be more cheap. There will be less natural environment destruction and the people wouldn't move from their homes since they didn't need so much space. Farmers wouldn't spend so much money on fertilizers, they only spend the necessary.

Well known dam

El Carrizal is located dam in the upper middle course of the Tunuyán River, in the north-central part of the Province of Mendoza, Argentina, upstream of the city of Rivadavia. Next to the lake there are 2 locations El Carrizal on the west bank and Villa San Isidro on the east bank. Its reservoir measures about 15 × 5 km, and the maximum water level is at 785.5 meters above sea level. it is used to regulate the flow of the Tunuyán River, which has glacial sources from the Andes, and to irrigate a very arid region. The water mirror is a tourist destination, where you can take a fishing, windsurfing, sailing, etc. Camps are held on its banks. Over time the reservoir has decreased its retention capacity due to the large accumulation of sediments, which affects the distribution of water in its area of ​​influence.

Different lifes

In the video, two different life routines are shown. One of a boy who lives in a water rich country and one who lives in a water-poor country. The girl, who lives in a shanty town, has to travel miles to fill a bottle with water from a river which is very dirty. Hwever, the boy from the water-rich country fills his bottle from a machine and the water is pottable. In the end, the boy travels to where the girl lives, as I think that the boys is aware of  the problems in the country where the girl lives, and while he is there he changes the bottles replacing the dirty with the pottable. I think that all the world needs to do what the boy has done, not only because it is a good action but also because water is needed for life on Earth, for girls like the one in the video to live. The word has to help each other, organizations like the UN, because its not fair for the ones that don´t have availabilty.

Facts about tropical cyclones

Tropical cyclones are named ¨cyclones¨ in the Indian Ocean, ¨hurricanes¨ in the Caribbean and ¨typhoons¨ in the South China Sea. The conditions for these to form are that they have to be near the tropics, they occur by the end of summer and beginning of autumn when water is hottest, the temperature of the water has to be at its maximum (27 degrees) and finally the humidity has to be high.  Moreover, they form only over warm ocean waters. The warm moist air rises upwards and moves up and away where there is less air near the surface. The system of clouds and wind spin fed by the oceans heat and water. As it becomes faster and faster, an eye forms in the centre. Besides, a hurricane loses its energy when it gets in touch with land since the water is the one that gives energy to the hurricane. Based on a hurricane’s sustained wind speed they can be classified in a scale from 1 to 5. This is called the ¨Saffir Simpson Scale. In category 1 hurricane, winds range from 74 to 95 mph and the damage is minimum however. In a Category 5 hurricane, the highest category hurricane, winds are 157 mph or higher and the damage is huge.

Names are given to hurricanes. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) keeps a list of names to use. There are different names given for each region of the world.  Names are taken from an alphabetic list that is used again every six years. In 1979 names of men were added. It also is important to mention that if the hurricane was very deadly, the name given to it cannot be repeated. In addition, hurricanes cannot be prevented and you can never know its direction. Some consequences are: loss of life, they destroy everything like home possessions, floodings, economic loses, leaving people jobless as industries are ruined. Also health consequences may occur for example cholera, among others.

¿Seres vivos o no?

En la clase de Biología, argumentamos sobre si los virus  son seres vivos o no. En mi opinión, no lo son, aunque comparten algunas características con los seres vivos, como por ejemplo, el material genético, desde el punto de vista metabólico, los virus son inertes. Además, no se nutren ni se relacionan, no respiran, sin embargo son capaces de replicarse.
