  • Debris from the devastating tsunami that hit Japan on March 11 has turned up exactly where scientists predicted it would after months of floating across the Pacific Ocean. Finding and confirming where the debris ended up gives them a better idea of where it’s headed next.

    If you are working on a project about Cortez, this website tells his story very well. It has many useful links as well to other conquistadores.
