Is it better to leave a fire alone or to battle to stop it? Many people are wondering these questions, at what point do we know a fire wont spread and others when we need to address it immediately. This web sight goes through a lot of different tests and experiments to know more about fire while learning how to stop it from hurting the people and things we love most.

The website tells about igneous rocks and how it's formed and where it's found

I learned that hypabyssal rock forms under the surface of the Earth's crust.

Igneous rock is one of the 3 main rock types and Ignis means fire in Latin.

This website is a perfect place to further your research on fire. It is a perfect summary of what we have studied this unit, and will be a good refresher for any one who needs it.

Check it out, y'all

Although emerging markets are a very large portion of the problem, they are necessary for any solution. Most books that talk about the environment has the West as the starting point. This is a very understandable starting place. For many decades the United States of America has been the largest polluter, contributing to the problem more than any other country in the world. Europe, has environmental laws to negotiate new and different solutions. Now Europe and the United States of America are only in supporting roles. Now the leaders are China and India. China emites nearly half of current global emissions. India accounted for 83% of the worldwide increase of carbon emissions from the years 2000-2011. Global warming started with industrialized countries. But, it can only end with developing ones. India and China are fully engrossed in growth of the countries. To continue to feed this growth they are building more and more coal-fired power stations, which is a very bad form of energy. The cities in China and India fume smoke and the rivers are catching on fire. Global warming will effect developing countries very much more then rich ones. A little bit because tropical and sub tropical areas are much more sensitive to warming and cooling temperatures. Richer areas can pay for better flood control and drought-resistent seeds that poor countries. William Cline, an economist, estimated a rise of merely 2.5% in temperature wold cause a 6% decrees in agriculture productivity in the United States of America. but in India there would be a 38% decrees. China and India are very vulnerable. New economic giants (such as China and India) will have to push rich countries to make more environmental compromises. Messrs Mattoo and Submaranian estimate that if China and India want to cut their carbon emissions by 30% in 2020, their production rate would fall 6-7% and the manufactured exports would be effected much more than that. Poor countries cannot handle the issues as well.

Pretty interesting and give a short good explanation of igneous rock.

I didn't know that igneous was ignis in Latin and it means fire

I learned a lot more useful information about intrusive igneous rocks that I didn't know before.

This is a really cool sight about fireworks. It goes into some detail about how with a different sized grain of the chemical it can make the last longer once exploded to create a better visual effect. It also explains how different fireworks can create different colors thermodynamics (natures way of conserving energy). To get a sound out of your fireworks scientists are putting a basic fuel in one end while the other is open and when it is lighted it rushes off to the open end the carbon dioxide gives off a whistling sound. One can also make really cool shapes and words in the sky with fireworks. Its all in the way one packs the basic fuel and the colorant pellets. If you like chemistry this is a really cool sight to visit.
