Explanation:

8. The Department of Transportation (DOT); this agency was implemented to develop regulations for a more efficient and safe national transportation system. It is in charge of all forms of transport systems and vehicles. It has improved the safety standards for rail service commercial jets, and for American ships.

9. Bureau of Land Management(BLM); this is the division of Department of interior, in charge of the health, biodiversity, and control of the use of public lands and reserves. It regulates cattle grazing on public lands, controls populations of wild burros and horses on reserves, and is in charge of keeping records on native and endemic species.

10. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): this agency was established by congress to oversee all aspects of pollution, including contamination, environmental clean up, hazardous waste spills, and pesticide use. They research solutions, policy development, and regulation enforcement.

11. Department Of Energy (DOE): it's an agency in charge of finding reliable energy sources. Replacement fuels and technologies are part of their research and development division. They are currently looking into renewable and environmentally compatible wind power, solar energy, and biomass energy sources.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."    

the main thing i would use is bricks because if there is a hurricane, there is a great possibility for the house to still stand. and i would also use plexiglass windows instead of regular windows because plexiglass isn't prone to breaking.
