Title: La Llorona Content: thumb|A statue depicting La Llorona La Llorona is a well known Mexican folk tale that originated in the 1800s to early 1900s.(The La Llorona tale actually dates back to the conquistadors and is thought to have originated in prehispanic times.)

She soon comes to her senses and regrets her decision to kill her children, so she drowns herself in a river in Latin America. She then becomes stuck between the physical and spiritual world on an eternal search for her children, not permitted to enter heaven without them. Her incessant weeping throughout the night gives her the title "La Llorona" (The Weeping Woman). Parents often use this story to prevent their children from wandering out at night. In some versions of this tale and legend, La Llorona will kidnap wandering children who resemble her missing children, asking her children for forgiveness and drowning these other children to take their place but they never forgive her yet still she keeps trying. People who claim to have seen her say she appears at night, or in the late evenings from rivers or lakes throughout Latin America.

Title: Deforestation Content: thumb|right|240px|A deforested area Deforestation is when forests are destroyed by cutting trees (logging) and not replanting them. The most common reason is to clear the land to make farms and ranches. They also cut trees for firewood and lumber and to make room for cities. Deforestation destroys the habitat of many animals, leading to their death. The loss is more severe in so called primary forests, which are forests that have yet been untouched by humans. Deforestation also releases sequestered carbon. Restoring trees in deforested places is called reforesting. == Causes of deforestation == Land has other uses besides growing trees. The biggest uses of land that was once forested are for farming and ranching. Some land is also used for roads and buildings, especially in urban area.As the population grows, people need to remove more trees. They also use the wood from the trees as lumber to make buildings and other things, or they burn the trees as firewood. Forests do these things: * regulates the water cycle to some extent * produces soil, and prevents soil erosion * provides habitats for animals * provides some of our oxygen (more is produced in the sea). * regulates temperature to some extent Forests are often planted to protect against natural disasters. When forests are lost, very often the soil they protected is also lost. This loss of soil is called erosion. Trees are also important for carbon sequestration. When the trees burn or rot, the carbon in them returns to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, deforestation causes global warming. Tropical deforestation is responsible for about 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation continues.

Title: Rock cycle Content: The rock cycle is how rocks of one kind change into rocks of another kind. There are three main kinds of rocks: igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock. Each of these rocks can change into the other kinds by physical processes: cooling, melting, heat, weathering/erosion, compacting (squeezing tightly together), cementing, and pressure. When heated deep under ground, rocks become magma (liquid rock). Above ground, it is called lava. Sediment, the particles from rock erosion and weathering, is the basis for sedimentary rock of the future.Blatt, Harvey and Robert J. Tracy 1996. Petrology; igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. 2nd ed, Freeman. Igneous rock is hardened magma, which can happen above or below ground. It can melt into magma, erode into sediment, or be pressed tightly together to become metamorphic. Metamorphic rock is igneous or sedimentary rock that has been heated and squeezed. It can erode into sediment or melt into magma. It is formed under extreme pressure and temperature deep inside mountain chains. Sedimentary rock is compacted sediments which can come from any of the other rocks, plus remains of living things. It can erode back into sediment, or be pressurized into metamorphic rock and can be melted to magma, which forms igneous rocks. These processes can occur in different orders, and the cycle goes on forever. Earth has several processes for changing rocks. Wind and water can create sediment from rocks, and movement of one tectonic plate against another creates enormous heat and pressure which affects rocks greatly.Fichter, Lynn S. 2000. The Wilson cycle and a plate tectonic rock cycle. James Madison University, Department of Geology and Environmental Science. Subduction converts all kinds into magma, which eventually rejoins the cycle as igneous rocks.

Title: Quadratic function Content: Quadratic functions are functions that contains an expression where its degree (the highest exponent it has) is 2, which means that it is quadratic: f(x)=ax^2+bx+c When the function gets graphed where f(x)=y, a curve that extends infinitely called a parabola will appear on said graph. == Etymology == The word quadratic comes from the Latin word quadrātum ("square").
