Astronomy Topics
Black holes are theoretically predicted pockets in space where neither light nor matter can escape. They are the end of stars and at least 10 to 15 times the size of the sun! But black holes are highly exaggerated by the public. They are not super vacuums, so if our sun was to be "swallowed" by one our orbit would not change. Only out temperature.
Saturn's Rings
Saturn's rings were discovered by Galileo in 1610, but they would always puzzle scientists. They figured that the rings were mainly made out of ice water and range from microns to meters in size. The rings are there because of Saturn's gravitational pull. As also the moons, but much of it remains unexplained.
The Ultimate Fate of the Universe
We can't predict the future. But we can give a hypothesis on what might happen, and that's just what scientists are doing. They say that years from now the universe is just getting farther and further away from everything else and just finally one day, crush together in a pin size ball, just like how it started. The big bang.
Pluto
Pluto gets its name from the Greek god of the underworld, Hades because, how far it is away from everything. It was discovered in 1930 just by a fortunate accident. Then again in 2005, Pluto was discovered to have two smaller moons orbiting it. But now sadly Pluto is no longer considered a planet. :[
Worm Holes
Wormholes are not yet proved yet but not disproved either. They are said to be teleporters in space over time! This theory goes back to 1916, shortly after Einstein published is theory in books. Although wormholes are probably unstable and would collapse if any of the tiniest matter would enter it so.....if they are discovered I wouldn't try this at home.

The Greenhouse Effect
The Greenhouse effect is the heating of Earth due to the presence of Greenhouse gases.
The three most common Greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
Greenhouse gases are produced by everyday human life. Like for instance, carbon dioxide is produced by car gases and just by us breathing air in and out! Nitrous oxide, is released by our own oceans and some bacteria in the soil, and methane is released by decaying plants and thin air.
Because of the Greenhouse effect there has been drastic changes in our enviorment. Sea levels are rising, the temperature change, there are more insects, and more disastrous floods occurring.
This is a bad thing! Like i was saying in the answer above, there are more drastic changes in our enviorment which can easily change the schedule of regular human life. If this continues, our crops won't grow right, more people will loose their homes, and even other things. People could loose their lives.

Offshore Drilling
Offshore drilling is the drilling for natural gas in the ocean.
Offshore drilling has its pros and cons, but it can be very useful. It can offer us access to a much larger supply of natural gas than just regular drilling on land.
At the same time it isn't the best thing. Although it can be very resourceful it could also be very expensive, plus it is wasting wasting our natural rescources.

The first article was about how there was an earthquake in Japan and Indonesia and people evacuated, but the strange this is that there was no tsumani.
3. What is the second article about?
The second article was about how there was an earthquake in Iran that killed 4 people. Iran's Red Cresant is helping people out who have been effected by the quake.
4. Which disaster was more disasterous?
The second article i would say was more disasterous because people have died in this disaster. It was a major hit.
5. Compare and contrast the two disasters.
The earthquake in Indonesia and Japan was a scare becasue they thought there was going to be a tsunami, which there was not, but the earthquake in Iran killed 4 people and was more intense.

What is the best Renewable Rescource? Why?
I believe the best renewable resource is wind. Wind is everywhere, and very cost efficient. All you would need to do is put some windmills and it could power a whole town! I think everyone should be powered on wind! And better yet, its nonpollutional.
