Question: How and why has the water quality changed at Pacific Beach Point over past 100 years?
1. What do I predict the answer of your question will be?
I think the water quality has changed over 100 year because the human activities of like buildings, streets, trash and sewage. People leave trash on the street or and in their yards and when it rains the water takes all the trash in to ocean. Storm drains also take car oil from the street and asphalt to the ocean.
2. How will I answer the question?
To answer my research question, I would research the past and now to find out what caused the water to change and if human activities have anything to do with it.
Here are sound resources I found:
