toc =About Me=

Hi, My name is Anthony. I like sports, video games, and just being outside. The two sports I like the best is football and baseball. I also like to have airsoft wars. I don't have very many guns but I am very good at it. I also like to watch TV. I don't do very much of that around summer/spring. I also like to hunt. I hunt as much as I can, as long as I can. Some days are better than other, but most of the time I get what I am going after. I also plan to join the armed forces after high school. I don't know what I want to go into right now but I will when I go to sign up. After I am out of the armed forces. I plan to become a police officer or join S.W.A.T. That is a little about me. THE END!!!



=Uses for the Allegheny Forest=

There are many uses for the Allegheny Forest. They used the Forest years ago and still use it today. Here are some of the reasons they use it 1. Rivers, They have dam for water, power, ect. The Kinzua Dam created the Allegheny Reservoir. 2. It also creates ranger stations. They create jobs for the surrounding area. 3. It has oil and nature gas found in it. Just 40 miles away the first oil well was dug in the world. 17% of the states crude oil came form this area. Its high paraffin make it a good lubricating oil. 4. Today It is also now for its black cherry, maple, and hardwoods. 5. In the early days, European settlers used the timber to make log cabins and darns. They then used it to create water-powered mills out of small peaces of wood. With the help of stem, mills good get 10,000 board feet of lumber a day. 6. Tanneries used hemlock to tan hides. There was a big boost of this around the Civil War. 7.They also used wood to make furniture and help build the railroads. 8. It is used today as a place to hiking and other outdoor sports http://www.statemaster.com/encyclopedia/Allegheny-National-Forest

=Water Sources Active C=

> List some of the ways that areas are coping with water shortages and making water available.
 * 1) Look at some of the articles on this site http://www.scientificamerican.com/report.cfm?id=water
 * They are getting their water from the ocean.

=Water Source Active D=


 * 1) **Question 1: What did you notice about the movement and pooling of water?**
 * The movement went down hill or into lower areas of land. The pooling of water happened when there was no place else for the water to go so it formed lakes or ponds.
 * 1) **Question 2: The following drainage patterns can exist in PA: dendritic, trellis, radial, and rectangular. Where in the state do they occur and why? (do a search for drainage patterns to understand what these terms mean)**
 * **dendritic=** form in homogenous landforms where the underlying bedrock has no structural control over where the water flows.
 * **trellis=** form in where the underlying bedrock where there is repeating weaker and stronger types of rock. It cuts down deeper into the weaker bedrock, and is characterized by nearly parallel streams that branch at higher angles.
 * **radial=** are characterized by flow of water outward from a central point, such as down a newly formed cinder volcano cone or an intrusive domes.
 * **rectangular=** are characterized by branching of tributaries at nearly right angles and tributaries which themselves exhibit right-angle bends in their channels. These usually form in jointed igneous bedrocks, horizontal sedimentary beds with well-developed jointing or intersecting fault.



=Climate Change Research=

1. How has climate change affected animal life? www.**geosc**.**psu.edu/Courses**/**Geosc320**/**Plant_Animal_Climate_Gorski**.**pdf**
 * It has a great affect on animal life. It affect every were, even in the oceans. The most affected area is in the Arctic wildlife area. Temperatures rise here 3-5 times fast than every were else. So the animal have very little time to adapt and die because of it.

2. What has climate change done to the environment? http://ec.europa.eu/environment/climat/home_en.htm 3. Is the climate getting colder or warmer? http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/global+climate+change
 * It has made a global rise in sea level, loss of habitat/homes, cause temperatures to go up 0.76° C since 1850
 * There are periods where it is colder or warmer than normal but for the most part the climate is getting warmer. It is caused by human production of carbon dioxide (CO2).

4. Does the ocean get bigger as the climate goes up?
 * Yes the ocean rises as the climate gets warmer. It has been rising 1.8mm per year for the past century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sea_level_rise

5. Are animals losing their homes? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090730074338.htm
 * Yes animal are losing their homes due to climate change. The area looked at the most is the Arctic climate. Because it is rising 4 times fast than anywhere else. The animal are losing their homes fast. Due to the ice melting into the ocean and the ocean rising.

=Car VS Truck=



Car is more efficient than the truck. Trucks have come a long way from being not so fuel efficient to having good fuel efficiency for a truck.
