Sharks are amazing sea creatures. Sharks are 1 of the 3 consumers. They are carnivores that eat nothing but meat. There are many different types of sharks. Some smaller sharks eat fish but the Great White shark can eat a whole seal. They are like us and eat to energize our body and to think. They eat their prey to have energy to swim and to catch more food. Sharks don't have any bones, but they have cartledge like our nose and ears. Sharks have been around way before the dinosours were. Sharks are dangerous creatures but they don't mean to hurt humans because they think that we are seals. Like when people are surfing they might think you are a seal because you are on a flat board looking like a stomach of a seal with your hands and feet out they could get confused. In my opinion, I think that sharks are scary and dangerous creatures. And even though they don't mean to harm us I don't like them.

Hurrican Ike and how Ike effected gas prices In the U.S

Who: Texas was affected when Hurricane Ike struck.
What: The Gulf oil industries had to shut down for the second time because it had to get ready for the big Hurricane Ike. One good thing is that Texans don't have to pay a lot even when Hurricane Ike was about to struck you would think that they and every one elas would have to pay a lot more because Ike could destroy or damage the gulf industries that provide us with a whole lot of gas and if that gas was destroyed that would effect a lot of people because gas is high now and if we lose that gas we would have to pay lot more for gas and have to get gas from more countries. And after Ike struck the gas prices were outrageous.
Where: Hurricane Ike has struck Texas almost destroying Texas gulf industries.
When: This happend in September threatining to flood Texas.
Why: This happened because there was a hurriance. Hurricane Ike was coming to Texas and was heading right towards the big gas company Gulf Industries.
My opinion: My opinion is that gas companies should try to maybe have the tanks of gas protected more than just having it in a tin bubble outside. I think that the gas company should figure out a way that they could protect but it wouldn't be cost effective for them like maybe they should try to do something eco-friendly.
