=toc About me= My name is E Snyder and i'm a junior this year. I like to play hockey in my spare time. My favorite classes in school are gym and study hall. I cant wait to get out of school to go home to eat and sleep. =Uses of the Allegheny= 1.) Wildfires, Tormadoes, ice storms, floods, clearcutting 2.) charcoal, wood alcohol, oil, and acetic acid 3.) campgrounds, boat launches, hot showers 4.) Civilian Conservation Corps, ANF, and National Presservation System

=Total Population= 1.) Nature-based- There is Day hikeing, also you can visit a wilderness, and visit a farm or agricultural setting. You can also drive off-road with out getting in trouble. 2.) Viewing/Learning- view or photograph natural scenery, sightseeing, and you can visit historic sites. Those are some of the viewing or learning things you can do. 3.) Developed- setting Land Activities- Walking for pleasure is what most people do also thier is picnicking and Horseback riding of any type which that is what people do least of. 4.) Water- Based Activities- Swimming in an outdoor pool. 1,290,469 people went swimming of all ages. Then you have boating of any type. and you have windsurfing which 20,441 people of all ages did that. 5.) Snow/ Ice- Based Activities- Downhill skiing, snowmobiling, and snowboarding with the least amount which is surprising.

=Individual Assignment= - In New Delhi, they get a descent amount of rainfall but they conserve their water by making it available for only one our in the morning. - In other places people check their sinks, indoor and outdoor faucets, pipes, and toilets for leaks because that would waste water. - People only run dishwashers and washing machines if there is a full load of dishes or laundry. - Some people even install rain barrels to capture storm water and they use it to water their gardens with the water. =Types of pollution - Activity A= - The **Allegheny Energy Supply Armstrong Power Station** in Adrian, Pennsylvania had 3 inspections and 12 violations for water pollution. **Maple Grove Dairy** in New Bavaria, Ohio had 2 inspections, 1 formal enforcement, and 6 violations for water pollution. **Choctaw Util Crystal Ridge Com** in Louisville, Mississippi had 1 inspection, 1 formal enforcement, and 4 violations for water pollution. **Kingsford Manufacturing C Dry Fork Crk** in Belle, Missouri had 1 inspection and 3 effluent violations. **Southwestern Public Ser.WWTP** in Artesia, New Mexico had 1 inspection, but 14 violations for water pollution. **The City of Las Vegas** in Las Vegas, New Mexico had 2 inspection, and 36 violations for toxic water. 1. a) Adrian, Pennsylvania - the problems were never confirmed b) New Bavaria, Ohio - the problems were 1 compliance schedule violation c) Louisville, Mississippi - the problems were 4 compliance schedule violations d) Belle, Missouri - the problems were 3 effluent violations e) Las Vegas, New Mexico - they had 8 effluent violations and 12 //other// violations f) Artesia, New Mexico - they had 14 //other// violations 2. I chose my place in Florida and the main places that had violations were sewage plants, they had mostly schedule violations. 3. My places had point source pollution. =Types of pollution - Activity B= 1. This is a problem because it can hurt animals and their habitats, it came from ships, boats, offshore drilling platforms, and offshore rigs polluting the water with their garbage. 2.

=Global Warming Notes= 1. global warming is when the earths atmosphere and oceans increase in temperature. http://www.geogise.com/ 2. the greenhouse effect is the heating of the surface of a planet or moon due to an atmosphere with gases that absorb and emit infrared radiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/greenhouse_effect 3.Study shows that seas are rising by more than 3 millimeters a year thats more than 50% faster than the average for the 20th century. www.sciencedaily.com/releases 4. While water is abundant on the planet, it is unevenly distributed and most (about 97 percent) is saltwater in the oceans, unsuitable for human consumption and agriculture without expensive and energy- intensive desalination. - http://www.cnas.org/naturalsecurity?gclid=CPKMgIrWzp4CFag65QodD20lqg

=Individual Project= 1. Dodge Ram truck - It is not fuel efficient because it has a large engine. It is not aerodynamic. It has big tires and 4 wheel drive.They get about 20 miles per gallon. 2. Toyota Corolla - It is fuel efficient because it gets 28 miles per gallon on city streets. It gets 37 miles per gallon on the highway. It has smaller wheels and is very aerodynamic. It has an engine that runs on less gas. 3. The components of each car affect the gas mileage. The trucks are bigger in size and their engines are bigger so they do not have good gas mileage. The car is smaller in size and has a smaller engine so the car has better gas mileage.

=Oil is more than energy= 1. Oil is running out, and without it people will not make money 2. Middle East 3. -The world is running out of oil -Relying on other countries could affect national security, economy -US imports 4 million barrels of oil a day -Oil demand contributes to climate change -Gap between imports and exports 4. The US should not depend on other countries for oil.

=3 Essay Topics= 1. Over usage of gasoline 2. Conserving energy - limit usage of lights, use solar panels on the top of the school for when the sun is out, turn off the heaters in spring or run the heaters using the solar panels. 3. Alternative energies-

=Science Essay= Evan Snyder Science Essay The problem in our school is over usage of lights. I think that solar panels would be a good way to conserve energy at our school. The energy audit survey found that a lot of our classrooms were using all of their lights. If our school bought enough solar panels to put on the roof, we could conserve a lot of the energy we use. The cost of installation of solar panels is about $5,500 to $6,000. It is very expensive but it is something that needs to be done. The pros of solar energy: solar panels give off no pollution; the only pollution is from manufacturing the solar panels and installing them. The production of energy is very quiet compared to using fossil fuels and solar power can be used in remote locations that are not connected to a national grid. The cons of solar energy: the cost of solar cells is very high, it can only generate electricity during daylight hours, and the weather can affect the efficiency of solar cells. These solar panels would not be very useful in the wintertime because of the shorter days, but once spring and summer come, we could run the school almost entirely off of solar energy. Our school has enough money to buy a good amount of solar panels. Even if the cost is very high, it would be worth it because we will not be able to use oil for very much longer with the way we depend on it these days.

In the long run, I think solar power would be a great way to conserve energy for our school. We would not have to waste energy on lighting if we used solar panels. Sure, the cost is high, but it’s better to stop depending on oil now then when it is actually gone.

= States and commodities = = = 1. Oklahoma 2. #1 – Cattle and calves #2 – wheat 3. Oklahoma is a series of flat plains, rolling hills, ridges and mountains. Black Mesa 4. Climate - It has continental climate with cold winters and hot summers. Population – 3,579,212. Largest cities – Oklahoma city, Duncan, Edmond, Fort Gibson. 5. Top 5 commodities: 1. Cattle and calves 2. Hogs 3. Broilers 4. Wheat 5. Dairy products. 6. No unique commodities

=Land Stand Survey=

I think the land should be used for agriculture. Most of the forests and woodlands are being cut down and i believe this is wrong. If we do not stop destroying forests, we will not have any agriculture. There will be nothing for use to use the land for except cities.

=Hunger in the world= 1. Haiti’s size: 27,750 square kilometers 2. Haiti’s population: 6,867,995 3. Major cities: Port-au-Prince – 1,234,742 Carrefour – 439,581 Delmas – 90,000 Cap-Haitien – 64,406 Petionville – 35,333 4. Per capita income for Haiti – 1,300 5. Percentage of people undernourished: 46% 6. Natural resources of Haiti: bauxite, copper, calcium carbonate, gold, marble, hydropower 7. Major agricultural products – coffee, mangoes, sugarcane, rice, corn, cacao, sorghum, wood 9. Literacy rate in Haiti – 52.9% 10. The climate is tropical. Rainfall pattern is varied. Rain is heavier in some of the lowlands and on the northern and eastern slopes of the mountains. Haiti has a lot of droughts and floods.

1. Social problems - Many Hatian families are large and Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, so they dont have enough money to feed their whole families and people get undernourished. Economical problems - Haiti has one of the lowest amounts of money in the world, so many Haitian families dont make a lot of money at all. Environmental problems - Haiti has many droughts so they cannot grow crops to feed the people. On top of that, the land is very bad for agriculture. 2. They give them food and water. 3.The Yum food company even donated $500,000 to help Haiti with its hunger problems.
