*^!~WHAT I LIKE ABOUT WHAT I LEARNED~!^*










GEOLOGY~Sedimentary Rock





1. Well I like this rocks because they form from the weather. I think thats interesting because i didnt think that rocks could form from the causes of weather.





METEOROLOGY~Cloud Formation




2. Stable air tends to remain in its original position, while unstable air tends to rise.








OCEANOGRAPHY ~Ocean Floor Features








3. The ocean floor regions are the continental margins, the ocean basin floor, and the mid-ocean ridges








ASTRONOMY ~ The Sun








4. We divide the sun into four parts: the solar interior; the visible surface, or photosphere; and two atmospheric layers, the chromosphere and corona.

HR DIAGRAM BABY!!!!

The main sequence of a HR Diagram is where most of the stars are at on the HR Diagram.


90% of the stars are located in the main sequence.


Yes the Sun is apart of the main sequence.


The Sun is going to become an Red Gaint. This will happen in 5 billion years from now.


This diagram shows how bright and hot a star is.
The right side is showing the cooler stars, the left shows the hotter stars, and in the middle its the warm air.

YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!! ITS ASTRONOMY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











{~SATURN'S RING~}
Found in 1610 by Galileo and the scientist were puzzled. During the first telescopic observation of the night the puzzles only increased. In the 1980-1981 a few Voyagers imaged the ring system extensively. The rings have been given letter names in the order of their discovery. The main rings are, working outward from the planet, known as C, B, and A.heir discovery.



{~WORMHOLE~}





A hypothetical tunnel connecting two different points in spacetime in such a way that a trip through the wormhole could take much less time than a journey between the same starting and ending points in normal space. Going through a wormhole could be like goin to one place and ending up into another. Sick huh? The long centered part is called the throat, and in the throat there is negative energy.




{~BLACK HOLES~}




Black holes are the evolutionary endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun. If any body got close to it your going to get sucked in there. Its a small dead star that is weights more than the sun but is smaller. It usually has a real shiney light and you dont want to go to the light.











{~THE MOON~}



The Moon is very interesting because I have heard some many different things about the Moon. For example some people say that the Moon is made from cheese. Now dont get me wrong im not stupied. I do know that the Moon isnt made from cheese but i would like to know how people came up with that thought.






{THE KUIPER BELT}
The Kuiper Belt is a very interesting topic. For one it looks very different and cute. The Kuiper Belt was named after Grared Kuiper and was founded in the 1950's.

1. List three low clouds, three middle clouds, three high clouds, and one cloud with vertical development.



The three members in the family of the low clouds are Stratus, Stratocumulus, and Mimbostratus. The three middle clouds are the Altocumulus clouds, Cirrocumulus clouds, and the altostratus clouds. Three cloud types make up the family of high clouds are Cirrus, Cirrostratus, and Cirrocumulus. And one vertical cloud development is Cumulonimbus.




2. Which clouds look the best to you? I like the Cirrus clouds.




3. What kind of weather does that type of cloud bring? They bring sun shine and a good day to be out side.




4. Include a picture of that cloud type.

occluded front

and stationary front.


the warm front is my favorite kind of weather.

in warm fronts i enjoy going swimming, playing out side, and sleeping.

The greenhouse effect is the heating of earth surface.


Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon are the 3 gases.


They are produced naturally.

The green house effects us because it will heat up the Earth.


It is a healthier way the heat up the Earth.

1. Most people agree that recycling is a good thing. Why should we recycle glass? Plastic? Paper? Metals? Making new paper from old paper uses 30% to 55% less energy than making paper from trees and reduces related air pollution by 95%.
Recycled plastics are made into fiberfill, bottles, shower stalls, recycling bins, scouring pads, paint brushes, industrial strapping, drainpipes, plastic lumber, and flowerpots. Markets are expanding and developing daily. Every ton of glass recycled saves the equivalent of nine gallons of fuel oil needed to make glass from virgin materials Recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy than making new aluminum from bauxite ore. Metal
2. What is better: recycling?
Or reusing things? Why? Give an example.
Reusing, because then you will not be required to recycle. For example paper, instead of recycling it, why not just erase the words on it and use it for something else.3. How can Fayetteville residents recycle?
Well, for one thing we could pick up trash more often. 4. Where is the closest recycling drop-off center to your home (or our school)?
The closest recycling drop-off center to my house is Fire Station No. 17.5. What can you realistically do to promote recycling?Small things like that will lead on to a chain of things

VOLCANOES
















The Hawaiian Volcano is located in hawaii.(19.42°N 155.29°W,) The exact Summit Elevation is 4091 ft (1247 m) in these pictures you see that most of them are having a Violent eruption. and some you see that the lava has melted in to intrusive igneous rock

RECENT DISASTERS

The two articles that i read were Earthquakes hit Japan and Indonesia and Strong earthquakes in Southern Iran kills 4.
Two strong off shore earthquakes have struck Asia, triggering tsunami alerts and evacuations in coastal towns. This what the first article was about.
A strong earthquake of 6.1 magnitude on the Richter scale struck southern Iran on Wednesday, killing 4 people and wounding 34 so far, local media reported. This is what the second article is about.
I think that the Strong earthquakes in southern Iran kills 4 was worse.
Well the difference between the twoare one kills 4 people. the other one doesnt tell if it did.

1. Where do most of the earthquakes tend to happen? Closer to the Pacific Ocean 2. Why do you think that is? That is where the earthquake zone is.3. What is this area called? (You will have to do some research) The ring of fire.4. Where is the earthquake closest to North Carolina? Southeastern Missouri.5. Choose one earthquake that has happened in the last seven days. You will be researching that earthquake. Tell me all about it. Include at least one picture. Magnitude

MASS MOVEMENT


wow what can i say about mass movement?

well a real life example of mass movement would be in La Conchita, CA 1995 and landslide accord. A landslide is when the material that slips over failure plane down a slope.

THE SOLAR POWER


I believe that solar power is the best renewable resource because you are using the sun and the sun is free. yes the programs may be expensive, but you can get money back from the place of where you pay for your lights. but you could get money back and you can also provid for someone elses homes.

oceanography


I personally choose the oceanography because i like the water. And then all of the layers of water is whats up. water period is the best. then its a big deal on earth. with out water you basicly have nothing because water is a big part of life.

Robinson Projection










I like the robinson projection better, because it shows the hole earth. It also give more of detailed facts about the earth. The Robinson Projection shows the levels of latitude and longitude.
