The natural factors causing mudslides in Guatemala is that there are frequent earthquakes, hurricanes and heavy rain that makes the mountain terrain muddy. Some factors caused by humans are deforestation. What they're now realizing is that planting trees can reduce the amount of mudslides. "Pine trees have long, anchoring tap roots that can extend 6 meters below the soil. When they are planted in slopes above residential areas, Hallum explained, heavy rains are unlikely to loosen their grip on the soil."

Forest soils form in temperate regions that receive enough rain to support the heavy growth of trees. Rainfall is important for the grassland soils because it needs a wet and warm environment so it breaks down rock and turns into soil. Both kinds of soil it's important to have large amounts of rainfall in order to produce the classification of soil. It just works differently to the way it is used to create soil.

There are a few parties at fault for the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill. When news broke out in April 2010 that the semi-submersible exploratory offshore drilling rig exploded and around 60,000 barrels of oil was flowing into the Gulf of Mexico a day, people automatically pointed fingers at BP. Maybe the crew wasn’t as trained as we thought, maybe the boat didn’t get checked twice before put to use. Did anyone ever consider it could be our governments fault for this catastrophe? Indeed the Obama administration allowed the British oil company to drill out in our ocean and now they’re forcing BP to spend $7 million a day trying to clean up the mess. Let’s not forget why they’re drilling in the first place. The demand on oil is high considering 95% of the the United States alone uses it every day to get around. So instead of blaming BP for the oil spill try taking a look at yourself and your own government.

Coal

Coal is combustible black sedimentart rock normally occurring in rock strata in layers called

coal beds. Coal is composed of carbon along with other elements, sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen 

and nitrogen. Some types of coal are: peat, lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous, steam coal

anthracite, and graphite. Coal is mostly used as a solid fuel to produce electricity and heat through combustion.

Dante's Peak

Three things that were not plausible
- Dante's Peak isn't in existence
- They drove over lava and fire
- Wouldn't be able to out run the lava pouring into the house
- Kids could have not drove all the way up the mountain with all the ash
Basically they should've  died

Three things that was likely
- The acid lake would burn Grandma to death
- People would be freaking out like they were
- It was dark when it was day time
