on on New Found Barrier Reef
on 
The Great Barrier Reef located off the coast of Australia is the world’s largest reef and one of the 7 wonders of the world. However the reef is slowly dying each year due to climate change and human interference. Fortunately there is a new barrier reef surrounding the Amazon River that no one noticed. According to Maddie Stone, author of the article, There is a Gigantic Reef Surrounding the Amazon River and Nobody Noticed, the reef is located at the mouth of the Amazon River and is roughly 9,500 square kilometers. The reality is that the reef faces numerous human cause threats due to offshore oil and gas drilling as well as industrial fisheries and climate change (Stone).

Does Technology Ruin Relationships?
on It doesn’t matter who people are with or where they are, people are always on their cell phones. Two people can be on a date and one (or both) people are going to be on their phones checking social media or texting someone else. It can also be a group of people walking through the mall and some of them are going to be on their phones. A grandparent may be out shopping with their grandson or granddaughter and the grandson/daughter will be on their phone. So is social media beginning to ruin relationships? This video explains how social media may be damaging relationships.

How Social Media Is affecting Our Brain
on We spend so much time on our phones and computers lately that I was interested in seeing what this affect would have on a person’s brain. Here is a basic video about how social media is changing our brains.
Deforestation
on Forests are natural wonders of the world especially the Amazon Rain Forest or the Red Wood Forest in Oregon. These forests help help minimize the amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted by humans, they are home to millions of different species, and they help keep the land and soil moist by perpetuating the water cycle. Unfortunately due to deforestation these forests are shrinking. Deforestation is the process of clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale which leads to poor land quality, homeless animals, and more greenhouse gas emissions. There are a couple of causes of deforestation. The first being agricultural. Farmers cut forests to provide more room for crops or livestock. They may only do a couple acres but if a significant number of farmers do this the total number of forests cut down will grow substantially. Another reason is logging company who log wood from forests for paper products and wood. However not all deforestation comes from humans. Some deforestation is caused by wildfires which can engulf a large portion of a forest.
I found this issue on Facebook, someone liked it and it popped up on my feed. I didn’t really know all of the effects of deforestation so I went to the National Geographic website and read about it there. I consider National Geographic to be a reliable source because it is a .org site and teachers/professors always have National Geographic videos and the .org sites usually have more peer reviewed/scholarly sources. I also watched a short video on Youtube which was a time-lapse of deforestation in the Amazon Rain Forest which was really shocking. I would consider using another source after I got familiar and comfortable with it.
