Where humans are having the most impact and why
Humans have many activities that affects animals and their habitats. With George Bank Fishery, over fishing occurred because the world demands increased. Humans are also responsible for the introduction of foreign species that invade the environment, sometimes in dramatic fashion. For example, the comb jellies from North America have all but eliminated commercial fishing in the black sea. (the left is a picture of a huge comb jelly.) They eat microscopic plankton thereby depriving fish of their food supply. I think humans are having the most impact concerning animal's homes and food supply that will eventually lead to their extinction.

What is order, randomness, complexity and examples of it
Order is when you have rules that produce patterns or an order system. Randomness is out of order. There is no pattern and no rules. Complexity is complicated, full of entanglements, and is not simple. An example of order is the law. An example of randomness is playing the slot machines. An example of complexity is to find a needle in a haystack.

What I learned and what I want to learn
In Mr. Chen's class, I learned about the clouds and that they are classified by their shape and their height. I also learned that there are three types of volcanoes and and the boundaries. In addition I learned all about the renewable energy. I would like to learn how we can save the environment.
