The original boathouse was destroyed by the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926. Determined to rebuild the structure stronger, Munroe designed a new boathouse with four strong cables sunk into the ground. The cables were then attached to iron beams inside the boathouse. He also designed it so that the bay front wall and the back wall would break away from the rest of the structure in the event of storm surge. This would allow rushing water to enter and exit the building without tearing the rest of the structure down.

How did Munroe’s new boathouse differ from his original one?

He added cables and iron beams.

He did move it inland for better protection.

He did not have a workshop and bedrooms upstairs.

Sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays, but you need to look for one that will absorb both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreens that will absorb both are often labeled as broad spectrum, multispectrum, or have the words “UVA/UVB protection” printed on their packaging. Once applied, sunscreens are usually invisible on the skin.
Sunblocks, on the other hand, are often visible. Zinc oxide, the thick white cream sometimes seen on beach-goers noses, is a sunblock. Dr. Greene’s goopy, red jellylike Red Vet Pet was a sunblock too. Sunblocks reflect UV rays, keeping them from penetrating the skin. They are effective against both UVA and UVB rays

According to the article, what is the difference between sunblock and sunscreen?

Scientists recommend sunscreen because it is more effective than sunblock.

Scientists developed sunblock before sunscreen

Sunblock forms a visible barrier to reflect UV rays, but sunscreen absorbs UV rays.

Sunscreen contains chemicals, but sunblock does not
