=** STEPS IN THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE **=

=** ﻿Step 1 - Preliminary Question **=

1. Are hurricanes in the south stronger than they are in the north?

2. Do all glaciers form the same, if not,why?

3. What happens to the shoreline when a hurricane hits?

4.Are all glaciers melting away?what is the cause?

5. Do channels ever stop flowing water, if they don't where do they go ?

= ** Step 3 - Background Research **= 3a. ANS:this most closely relates to hydrophere. b: Builds water ways when it melts. When it takes the water away from the ocean 3c Ans: If what you are rearching plays a major role in another Earth system as a part of your study, please explain. C. No, beacuse by the glaciers melting it will add more water and in a couple of years it will wipe out the Untied States.
 * Although there is always an interaction between spheres, which sphere does features you are studying most closely related to ?**
 * What is the significance/importance/role of this feature within the earth's system?**
 * If what you are researching plays a major role in another earth system as a part of your study,please explain.**

General Research: What temp. needed to form glaciers?Glaciers form in areas where the temp. dips below zero. types of glaciers;piedmont glaciers,continental glaciers,and valley glaciers. [|www.scienceclarfied.com/ga-he/glaciers.html] qualitative observations-white,lots of water,rocky land,icey,and cloudy. http.eol.jsc.nasa.gov

=** Step 4 - Experiment Design **=

=Using astronaut photos, is there evidence that the glaciers are melting? What effect does melting glaciers have on Earth systems?=

Using astronaut photgraphs we observe: -the size changes of glaciers from one year to another year. (before and after) -General observations of glaciers

We will also answer the question of whether a glacier can effect earth systems from them melting by: -Using Google we will find websites to help answer this question.


 * HYPOTHESIS**:

If the glaciers are melting then an level will rise and it's going to start flooding most of the shore land.
