I don't know why, but I actually like talking about school and doing some schoolwork when most kids my age would rather get away from it as much as possible. My favourite subjects are science especially chemistry, physics, and astronomy, foreign languages, history, reading, and I'm even starting to like math now. 3nodding What do all y'all like and dislike?
And here's some science questions for y'all that I'm really curious to see others opinions on.
Why is the "ozone hole" such a big threat and why is it linked to cancer in Australia?
Where is the"ozone hole?"
Why were CFCs banned?
What part does the polar vortex play in creating the "ozone hole?"
Domerin and I will give you our views after we see everyone else's. wink

I like English and history/geography a lot. Science is alright, depending on what we're learning. For instance, we're learning about mitosis now, and its killing my brain. But if it were over a concept that I felt had some actual interest to those who weren't destined to become biochemists, I would like it more.
And math is just math. Its a subject I do well in with very little effort. I hate it or like it depending on the teacher. Now I loathe my teacher and wish he would just randomly decide to leave the school one day, so I feel the same way about the geometry he's teaching.
The questions:
Why is the "ozone hole" such a big threat and why is it linked to cancer in Australia?
I would imagine because, if the ozone hole is close to Australia, the UV rays wouldn't be blocked out as well in the area and damage the skin cells of the people, causing cancer.
Where is the"ozone hole?"
I would imagine close to Australia?
Why were CFCs banned?
...Wha? Based on the other questions, I would guess it has something to do with the ozone hole. XD
What part does the polar vortex play in creating the "ozone hole?
...I have absolutely no idea what a "polar vortex" is... so Pass? XD

It is over the polar vortext (over antarticia). This is negates your first answer too.
Why were CFCs banned?

They help make to hole even thinner.

It is a seasonal vortex over Anarticia that contains a lot of clorine (or something) that destroys ozone.Pros of banning CFCs: When I think of one, I'll tell you. Cons of banning CFCs: Refrigerator, hose pipes, and a lot of other vital things are soon to become much less effective. Food will spoil, firefighters can't function as well, etc. Lives saved from the ban: 0 Lives lost from the ban: thousands The ozone hole would be a problem is it was over anywhere else but the artics. Cancer in Australia could not have possibly been cause by a thinning layer in the ozone layer (it isn't a complete hole), because Australia can't see anything of Antartica. A atomic bomb's radius is 100 miles because that is as far as the curve of the Earth would allow ultraviolte light to travel. This light is coming down on to a single point well away from any population (even scientist). I conclude that it is a media pushed idea just like global warming.

Fine. Here's my answers.
Why is the "ozone hole" such a big threat and why is it linked to cancer in Australia?
It's not a big threat and people are just paranoid and stupid. (for the most part anyways.)
Where is the"ozone hole?"
Antarctica!
Why were CFCs banned?
Because they where destroying ozone. BUT! It doesn't matter because The ozone goes back to normal by November.
What part does the polar vortex play in creating the "ozone hole?"
It's what carries the chlorine molecules in CFCs up to the Ozone layer over the Arctics. (Antarctica is worse.)
But none of that is really a problem because the Polar vortex happens from August to November. That's the only time there is a "hole" in the ozone layer. During November it goes back to normal. Amazing how smart world leaders are, ne?

*shrug* It isn't exactly something I'm following, as you can tell. I'm not an enviormentalist, don't plan on becoming one, either, so there isn't really much I can do as far as the o-zone layer is concerned. Just logical guessing. Plus, I'm not opinionated in the slightest. I'm much too gullible.

Neither one of us want to be one either, but that's still something our science book teaches.

Our science book doesn't... I don't think. We don't typically use the book. The only time I remember it being mentioned was by our crappy student teacher in 7th grade, and maybe once in passing by our still-crappy 8th grade IPC teacher. 'Cause Texans don't care about the enviorment, apparently. sweatdrop

I just hate when science books that aren't written by actual scientist are published (or a t least supervised). Read the polictly incorrect guides to school!
Brad: Well it's a caupow buckeroo hoilday,
Whatever you do watch what you say.
If you're easily offended, well that's okay,
'Cause we're a completly non-offensive, and polictly correct Hoilday.
Brad: We catch up with our cowboys sitting around a campfire one cold December evening.
Hey, anyone want to sing some carols?
Sure, I'll start us off. Oh, *beep*mas tree, oh *beep*mas tree, How lovely are thy branches. Why did I get bleeped?
Brad: Guys, you can't say *beep*. You might offend someone.
What?
Who is offended by *beep*mas?
Brad: You have to say Hoilday.
What?
If I say *Beeeep* in the last record, why can't I say *beep*mas?
((There's more.))

Look for the Exploring Creation series. Dr. Jay has a PhD in his field. He explains everything and is very good with his explainations.

I absolutely love school! Love it, love it, love it. Except for the getting-up-at-the-crack-of-freaking-dawn-and-watching-the-sunrise-on-the-way-to-school part....I hate morning. Like night. Night is good.
Anyway, I love school. My favorite classes are French and any classes that have to do with reading and writing. History used to be among my favorite, but since I don't have Berthold anymore it's just not the same....
