Old Techniques In Florida Waters And Treasure Hunters

Historic treasures and artifacts are often donated to or purchased by other nations to place in their museums. Often museums are given the objects with full cooperation from the originating country, but sometimes they are stolen or given for protection such as in a time of war. When nations want the artifacts returned it can cause a disagreement with the other nations of who the rightful owner is.

The first reason why Hurricane Hunters are the most useful type of technology out of three listed is because it allows for the public to have more accurate information on storms. Hurricane Hunters obtain this information through

As storm relative velocity helps analyze the motion of the winds within the storm, information like the rotation of the storm and the speed of the winds can help investigate the chances of the storm developing into a tornado. If the storm appears to be a threat, nearby communities can be notified to take precautions and leave if necessary. Although base velocity can be used for the same reason, the speed of the storm can affect the results of the speed and rotation of winds. Therefore, storm relative velocity is more accurate and reliable than base velocity in determining the threat of a

Buried treasure, eye patches, and walking the plank are all words and phrases that often appear in stories involving pirates. Tales about the voyages of pirates are often adventurous and riveting ones. It is very awe-inspiring to think about the daring lives those pirates once led. However, it might not be safe to assume that these stories are close to the truth or even based on genuine facts. In 1881 Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a book entitled Treasure Island, which in return would forever change the way people looked at the term "pirate." Due to this book there are several different movies that have been created to interpret the term pirate in different ways. Black Pirate, The Dancing Pirate, Sea Hawk, and Captain Blood include some

For millions of people living near the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the United States, a team of weather experts in Miami were helping make a difference between another hurricane disaster and safe evacuations in the wake of the oncoming storm. These experts are trained to interpret data from satellites, weather stations and specialized computer equipment to give the public advance warning of hurricanes barreling toward any shores (Treaster, 2007, p. 26).

After rewatching Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark for the second time I view Indiana Jones as less of an archaeologist than I did the first time I watched it. In my first paper I stated that Indiana Jones was a combination of a grave digger and an archaeologist. Now after completing this course I see that he is even less of an archaeologist than I first depicted. The only ethical archaeology being conducted in this movie is done by the Nazi’s; not Indiana Jones. Beyond, getting historical accuracy of the time period correct this movie fails fails to paint a picture of what archaeology truly is. In turn, since my knowledge is far more comprehensive I have come to realize that the movie fails to showcase archaeology even more than I originally

The third story is about the age of discovery. This involves comments about maps along with examples some true some not of explorers. All serve to suggest science is not exact and the process of discovery holds many dangers. The historical narrative uses a factual and formal language to

Archaeology is a continuously evolving field where there is a constant stream of new branches and excavation methods. Due to the influx of new technologies and innovations in recent decades, archaeologists have been able to excavate previously inaccessible areas. For example, new diving equipment and tools such as proton magnetometers, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, and miniature submarines have allowed archaeologists to dive into the deep depths of the ocean. As a result, the branch of underwater archaeology was created to search for shipwrecks and other artifacts on the ocean floor. Underwater archaeology’s role has increased in recent years as it allows archaeologists to more accurately interpret the past by supplementing

The third main idea is the finds that tell a story. The things he finds can often tell what someone is going through. If he finds a picture of a man and women and it is torn in half you can obviously conclude what has happened. Things he finds in the dumpsters remind him of many lessons he has learned throughout his life. Eighner wants us to realize something’s must be thrown away but be mindful of if it is wasteful thinking.

It is vital for the survival of mankind that we respect and understand the severity and danger of natural forces and weather conditions. Although advances have been made in the predictions and warning systems of the National Weather Service, or NWS, we must be vigilant in our efforts to always respect what is coming. It is also imperative that we learn from the mistakes we have made in the past and grow from them. One such piece of literature which can help to do this is "Storm Warnings: The story of the a Killer Tornado", by Nancy Mathis, which depicts an amazingly horrific incident where mankind was not prepared for what was coming. The following is understanding of the events that took place on May 3rd, 1999, which showcased an amazing, and terrible, spectacle of tornadoes in Oklahoma. Furthermore we will delve into what has changed since this to better our understanding of upcoming weather related dangers as well as planning for said forces of nature.

The main idea of the story is finding the treasure. Ben Gunn has lived on the island for three years, and knows where the treasure lies. Before the pirates find Jim and his mother, Jim grabs a key and an oilskin packet from the old sea chest. Jim’s father dies, and he and his mother flee to the nearby town and ask them to help them but they refuse to. They find a nearby bridge to hide under, and escape from the pirates. Finally, the people from the town decide to come to Jim and his mothers rescue. Later in the book, Jim hides in an apple barrel and overhears Silver and other crewmates about taking the ship once they have the treasure on the ship. When land was sighted a conflict went on between Silver and another group of pirates. Jim escapes while the fight is going on. He finds Ben Gunn and they become friends. Jim goes with Silver on the hunt for the treasure. They discover that the treasure is missing, and they fire into the surrounding area. The treasure was stowed in the Hispanolia’s lower deck. Silver steals a sack of coins and escapes.

Researchers used his flights to determine that it was safe to do so, and then proceeded to develop this technology. "The devices fall to the ocean and transmit bursts of data to the aiplane twice every second," (Weather Reconnaisance, Paragraph 10). These sensors are the most advanced of their kind, because not only to they provide sufficient evidence to help protect civilians. They can also reveal whether or not a storm is getting stronger or weaker, and which direction it may be heading

“Severe Storms: Measuring Velocity” by Greg Rosa taught me how to measure velocity and how it is used by meteorologists to keep track of storms around the world and sometimes even out of space. Until reading the book I had no idea what velocity was or even how to solve it. When I first started the book I was surprised by the formula to solve velocity, displacement divided by time equals velocity, and how it looked a lot like the formulas I have learned this year. But, as I continued reading I found out more about how this relates to weather and how it can be used to track storms and alert people to either stay inside or go out. The way velocity is used save tons of lives each year.

Thesis statement:We must take notice and learn about the hurricane process so that we are able to

This was Fujita’s first study of a U.S. tornado. Most considered studying this tornado to be impossible. The closest weather station was at the airport miles away, the other tens of miles. The tornado itself was measured in hundreds of yards, finding the genesis of it seemed an unattainable goal. This did not stop Fujita. As Smith described it, “Fujita wasn’t an ordinary meteorologist. He had a creative perspective and a mind that viewed the world in four dimensions: the north/south dimension, the east/west dimension, the vertical dimension (altitude), and time” (118). Fujita devised a plan. The storm was slow moving and as such there were hundreds of photos and film footage of it. With the help of a local news agency Fujita managed to obtain 150 photographs of the tornado at different times and places. The difficulty of even finding these photos was immense as during this time finding tornado photographs was rare. From these photos he triangulated the location of the storm in each photo to create a chronological path of the storm that he could use to track the evolution of the tornado. At this day in age, this was something no other meteorologist could do, in fact what he did in this study was almost single-handedly create the art of meteorological photogrammetry. Using his work he was able to extrapolate a never before seen view of the evolution of a thunderstorm with a
