1. My favorite part of geology was the learning of fossils, remains, and artifacts. I enjoyed this most because it gives us an idea of what was here before us.

2. I enjoyed learning about clouds because their are so many clouds and their uses. Each cloud has its specific details and shape.

3. Galaxy was very interesting to learn about because they are beautiful and interesting to learn about their complex and they might just hold more life on them.
4. I honestly think I made an eighty-eight on it, I think I should have studied just a little bit more than I did.

Wordle: EARTH SCIENCE
1. Because all the pressure and heat clamped the debris and minerals together forming planets. Today the universe is growing by getting the minerals broken from small and large rocks that break apart or clash into each other.

2.I think if stepped foot or got pull into a black hole it would take me through a whirlpool of time and space and i would end up in a whole different time or universe. I would be lost in time forever left to find new places to live or create new worlds.

3. I think if you step into a worm hole you would travel either back or further in time what ever one needed fixing or just fr you to simply observe would happen ed that you might of forgotten about in your past.

1. The 4 ways you can find a planet is: Radical Velicity, Astromentry, Transit Method, and Optical Detection



2. The Radical Volicity is the best one because the can get a more accurate measurement of everything and I do not like inaccurate information when somebody is trying to teach me something.


3. Goldilocks Zone is an area of space in which a planet is just the right distance from its home star so that its surface is neither too hot or too cold.


4. If it had life they would be small, they would look like miniature us. They will be fast and very smart and will be able to use 15% of their brain power. They live civilized and peacefully, without war and money. They barter instead of buy because they think it is best. They live in a high tech world where everybody helps everybody.

5. I do not know what to think, because we are still finding freaking things around the world. There are still wonders to find in this world. I would really have to see to believe it, but I still have a open-mind to it.

1. Hydrogen is the primary gas in the Jovian planets.

2. Carbon Dioxide is the primary gas in Venus and Mars.

3. I would want to live on Pluto because it is so far out and it is also pretty planet with 2/3 moons. Even though it has very long days I wouldn't mind cause I have more time to sleep.

A black hole is a celestial body whose surface gravity is so strong that not even light can escape once trapped. It is invisible, you can not see it at all. Light cannot escape, nothing else can, according to Einstein's theory of relativity. A French mathematician, Pierre Simon de LaPlace agreed with Isaac Newton that light is composed of particles. A way to identify a black hole is gas from a star nearby is flowing towards a black spot at the speed of light.


A comet is a small member of the solar system made up of rocky material held together by frozen gases. The parts of the comet include the halo, the coma and the tail. A halo is material that surrounds the nucleus. The tail is the part of a comet that doesn't face the sun. The coma is the side that always faces the sun.

SETI is the acronym for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It is the search for electromagnetic signals from other civilizations in the universe. Several SETI projects currently operate at different observatories. The majority of SETI efforts search for radio transmissions, but a growing number of programs search for light signals.

Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, is more like Earth than any other body in our solar system. It has mountains and valleys, polar ice caps, and dry riverbeds. It has seasons, an atmosphere with clouds, winds and dust storms, and a solid rocky surface.

Even without a telescope, you can tell that the lunar surface is covered with two different types of terrain, one bright and the other dark. The bright terrain is usually called the “highlands” because it lies relatively higher in elevation. The dark terrain is separated into often circular blotches that are referred to as the lunar maria. The maria are mostly lower in elevation than the highlands.

Bye Bye 3rd quater :-c, cause 4th quater is kicking you to the side!






1. My blog "It was devastating" was my best blog to me because i was able to show people that tragedy people had to endure by natural disasters.






2. I enjoyed chapter 18 the most because, it was mainly review from elementary and middle school.

I believe I deserve a 100.

Pollen ... no comment.!

1. Trees are affecting us the most, the oak tree is affecting us the most.

2. To have a perfect pollen storm you need these things: dry, windy weather and a long, cold winter. Also, a big factor now is gobal warming/ a opening in the ozone layer bring in more sun and heat.

3. The Liliaceae Pollen to me is the coolest looking one because is looks somewhat like cheetah print which is cute. The Liliaceae contains over 3500 species worldwide.

Yes,Science does MATTER! ;-D

1. Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates are all the states of matter.



2. For gas to become a plasma, energy would have to be added for this to be accomplished.



3. The absolute temperature for; Kelvin: 0, Celsius: -273.15, Fahrenheit: -459.67.



4. The temperature in space is 3degrees Kelvin.



5. Plasma would look like gas or steam, it would be extremly hot, it'll feel like gas but i doubt anybody is welling to get burnt to see how it feels. It is similar its gas, but it very cold at absolute zero.

The Earth's Wonders

1. rainwater collections, geothermal A/C and solar photovoltaic power systems

2. A rainwater collection system is like a reservoir, where water is collected from the rain that is captured in the roof gutters.
Geothermal a/c is an air condition that is powered by the heating of the earth.
Silicon Solar solar cells enable solar enthusiast and students to experiment with the powers of solar energy. Whether you are powering a small fan or a competition race boat, we have the custom solution for you.

3. Conservation & Biodiversity

4. Nature's gifts are being threatened by human activity

5. if you become aware of poorly maintained storage equipment that is at risk of leaking, or is already leaking, and could cause environmental damage, you must take action to stop environmental damage. If your action does not succeed in reducing the risk, you must report it to your environmental regulator.

It was DEVASTATING



1. Hurricane Hazel 1954




2. Catergory 4




3. Hazel was first spotted east of the Windward Islands on October 5. It moved through the island that day, it also crossed the Carribean Sea on October 8, Ocober 9-12 it made a north-northeast, Haiti on October 12, Bahamas on October 13, on October 14 it turned northwestward. It then turned north and fastened towards the coast of Carolina boarder. After 12 hours took the storm from the coast across the eastern United States into southeastern Canada as it became extratropical. High winds occurred over large portions of the eastern United States. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina reported a high wind surge of 106 mph, and winds were estimated at 130 to 150 mph along the coast between Myrtle Beach and Cape Fear, North Carolina. Washington, DC reported 78 mph sustained winds, and high surges of over 90 mph occurred as far northward as inland New York state. A storm surge of up to 18 ft inundated portions of the North Carolina coast. Heavy rains of up to 11 inches occurred as far northward as Toronto, Canada resulting in severe flooding.




4. Hazel was responsible for 95 deaths and $281 million in damage in the United States, 100 deaths and $100 million in damage in Canada, and an estimated 400 to 1000 deaths in Haiti.

2nd Quarter. Already!!!

It's Astonishing, the thesis itself was amazing because scientist are able to find that out just by studying the earth and its axis. 95%-100%, because I did my best to get my points across.


Atmospere Characteristics was my favorite topic because it informes me about my surroundings and what im breathing in and what it might be like to go through the layers of the atmosphere.

THE ATMOSPHERE

It's Astonishing

Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Earth's Day, Shifted Axis
The Huffington Post

Earth's days may have gotten a little bit shorter since the massive earthquake in Chile, but don't feel bad if you haven't noticed.
The difference would be only about one-millionth of a second.

I do agree with this because if you look at logic and scientific facts it can be proven the Earth's days were shortened, but Ialso disagree from a religious point of view.

"PLOP"! Where am I?

1. The TauTona gold mine in South Africa, is 3.6 kilometers deep.



2. You would have to dig 35 kilometers to reach the mantle.


3. It would look like a big brown blob when we are going through the crust, we wound be like moles or earthworms. After passing through the crust and I reach the mantle it would be like a suana nut, it's more red and hard all through. When we are at the core it going to be like a suana, then suddenly a hot tub the back all over again. When we reach the other side it'll be like moles popping out the ground after winter.
1. I deserve whatever grade I get based on my work.

2. I believe i should get this because this is the grade I worked for.

3. I beleive that the mineral one was the best one because, I was able to find out the uses of rocks and mineral.

Friday, January 29, 2010

1. Igneous Roks: Obsidian, sometimes called volcanic glass, cools so quickly that no crystals form.

2. Sedimentary Rocks: Limestone is used as a tourist attraction

3. Metamorphic Rock: Marble-metamorphosed limestone-typically does not have the pronounced layers of slate, but is used for flooring and sculptures.


A cool rock

MY FAVORITE SCIENCE OF THE EARTH



Earth science as four main areas:

  1. BIOLOGY
  2. GEOLOGY
  3. OCEANOLOGY
  4. HYDROLOGY

that are all interesting in their own ways, but in my opinion biology and geology are my favorite. I like geology because of the way rocks and the heat of the earths core controls the movement of the continents.

I also enjoy biology because it is all about living things, life, and nature.
