Special Thanks to Mr Richard Chapman for teaching and Skyping with us!

Alligators spend  most of their life in the water. After all, their food source, and their water source is in the water. So it makes sense, but what are all the other ways? There young need care, don't they! How do they stay clean? Humans aren't the only things that need water.
    For eating, the alligators normally feast on fish and turtles, the occasional human. Of course for water they are in the water, so they are set for hydration. Because they spend most of their life in the water, they are generally clean. The young use water as protection, once hatched the mother alligator escorts them to the water where they are safer from all predators. As of hunting the water is a perfect place for the Death Roll, this is where they clamp on to the victim and roll around, normally drowning the victim.




1.   Why is water considered a "Natural Resource?"
        Because Water is natural, sure we can make artificial copies and such, but it's made by nature. Water has been on Earth since it was made, and it always finds a way back to the sky.
   2.   How is water essential (required) to our survival and the survival of all living things?
        Water is required by all to stay hydrated. Without water, horrible things can happen, but I know not the entire world has water. Just think about this. Every 6 seconds. A mother, loses her child. To hunger, and dehydration.

Let that sink in.

    I am scared for Mars, so many things could go wrong. I would need SPF 5000 to survive the suns hot rays and radiation. If a dust storm stirs up, or if the cold kicks in, were totally screwed. The temperatures can go to below -200 degrees! And the dust storm can last for weeks. Me, being an explorer, should be most scared. If a extreme condition comes out when I'm out I would be dead in a second. I might suffocate or freeze or get dehydrated or cancer. I starting to have second thoughts about Mars. But then again this could be an amazing experience, just thinking about the so many constellations and the new lands to explore and see. I could be a Colombian hero! My friend Noreen the astronamer is running around with her head cut off about the stars and the things we might see! The architect Alfred, must be ecstatic about the gravity levels, since there is hardly any, we can make buildings 3 times taller than the tallest building Burj Khalifa. The possibilities for disaster, and for amazement are absolutely endless. 

• Write a definition for Man-Made Resources (in your own words) and Natural Resources.
  

My definition of a man made resource is, something that can be recreated, piece for piece and work and function the same. A person, is not man made, because people can't come back the same.

• Why is "water" considered a Natural Resource?

Water is considered a natural resource because, it isn't man made, and we will always naturally have it.

• List three or more Natural Resources that you use daily.

• Myself (to function)

1. Water never really is gone
2. It can travel the world in a matter of days
3. Clouds are made from water
4. Humidity is the water vapor in the air
5. When below 32° F cirrus clouds are made from ice crystals
6. Stratus clouds produce misty and drippy weather
7. Cumulus clouds are made from warmed land air
8. Cumulonimbus clouds normally result in a thunder storm
9. Powder-y snow results in a cold ground, packing snow results from warmer ground
10. Hailstones are formed when the wind tosses ice crystals and water droplets freeze, when the hailstone becomes to heavy it plummets to Earth
