Humans
discovered
long
ago
that
burning
fossil
fuels
was
a
convenient
way
to
get
power.
In

plants
that
generate
electricity,
huge
volumes
of
oil,
gas,

are
burned
every

lesson,
students
use
the
Live
Access
Server
to
research
possible
trends
present
in
atmospheric
and
oceanic
conditions
which
may
affect
future
hurricane
frequency
and
or
intensity.
Students

steps
should
be
taken,
if
any,
to
mitigate
the
danger
of
future
hurricanes
in
a

In
this
lesson
students
will
explore
hurricane
frequency
and
intensity,
along
with
the
correlation
to
global
warming.
In
order
for
a
hurricane
to
grow,
warm
water
is
an
absolute
necessity.
So,
if
the
Earth
continues
to
warm,
the
students
will
attempt
to
answer
the
question,
"What
does
it
mean
for
hurricanes
and
their
intensity?"
The
students
will
look
at
past
hurricane
data
by
researching
the
