Yellowstone’s hot springs are the most collective hydrothermal features in the park. When precipitation occurs, water is filtered through rock and stored underground. The collected water is then heated, and is bubbled up to the surface. The water in hot springs can exceed 200 degrees, and at times it can shoot into the air like a geyser. The color of Yellowstone’s hot springs is perhaps what makes it famous. Thermophiles, microorganisms, are found in the extreme temperatures of the water, and they

The central idea of Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone is that the outbreaks of many deadly hot agents are due to the oversight of humans.

The virus “hit the hospital like a bomb” and “transformed the hospital at Maridi into a morgue” all because “the
The most thought-provoking book I read this summer was The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. Not only is this book fast paced keeping you with the urge to read but it also focuses on real events leaving the reader to wonder why it is said that history repeats itself. I chose this book to focus on because of the close connection the story seemed to hold to recent events in history. The Ebola outbreak was the center of the media’s attention recently because of all the harm it caused in Africa and the fact

1.I can relate the information in “The Hot Zone” to prior education because in seventh grade we studied viruses in science class and made presentations describing what the virus was and how it reacted in the human body. Also, when Ebola cases appeared in America not long ago, I watched the news and they gave general information about the virus. Next, I watched a news special called “Frontline: Ebola Outbreak,” it featured the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. It showed how and what the doctors were

The fact that he can make a non fictional informative story so intriguing and addicting is a large feat. It was
