The whining class

So today during Human geography my class got are seats switched around and I only moved two seats back but I do still enjoy sitting in the front because I don't get distracted and I'm able to listen better. But as Mr schick was assigning new seats people were complaining because they could sit next to their friends and talk. Yet the girls in the back of the room still got yelled at because they couldn't stop talking so yeah. The complaining from the class took up about one third of the class time we had so we didn't get time to really learn anything we just went over what we learned the day he wasn't here. So as he was explaining what a site was he said that the reason hurricane Harvey impacted Houston so much was because the natural site had been changed so much that the water they got couldn't go anywhere and since water treatment plants failed bacteria was floating in the water and not even all of the water has drained away yet. He was also saying the reason the site had been changed so much was because the city was attracting companies to build headquarters there which would make the city build new houses and therefore make money for the city because the workers of those companies would need someplace to live. Since there are so many company headquarters ,there are a lot of people there which mean a lot of houses which means a lot of the site of Houston has been changed and since neighbor hoods don't have a lot of grass and have a lot of roads there was no where for the water to runoff to or drain to so because they changed the site of Houston so much there was no natural place for the water to go because there was no dirt or fields. Mr schick also said that since the Houston site is still being changed a lot the earth is changing too so that means bigger, stronger, more devastating hurricanes and since there is nowhere for the water to go its only going to get worse and worse so the affects of changing a site could negatively affect the ability of the site to recover and react to natural disasters or weather changes.
