Blog #6

My most favorite Geology topic:
My most favorite Geology topic was learning about rock textures, streaks, and density. Like how rock streaks are not the same color as the rock giving off the streak. Like how rock on the surface can be younger and less dense than rock found below ground level. Metamorphic, Sedimentary, and Igneous rock are apart of the rock cycle but they don't have a beginning or an end.
My most favorite Meterology topic:
My most favorite Meterology topic was learning about the high and low systems and the weather that comes with them. Like how high pressure systems have clockwise turn which is a anticyclone generater and a low pressure system is a counter-clockwise turn that generates cyclones. They also create hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms, but thunderstorms don't have a intensity scale to measure them.
My most favorite Astronomy topic:
My most favorite astronomy topic was learning about the stars patterns, bightness and dimmness, and it's sequence lifespan. Like how Red Giants are brighter than our normal sun but is much colder than our sun is. Plus and sun becomes a Red Giant, then a White dwarf, and then it becomes a black dwarf. Also if a Red Giant exploses, then a Supernova will take place.
The grade I think I should get:
I thik that I should get a 98% because I worked really hard on all my assignments and I turned them all in on time. I followed all your direction down to the "T" and I made sure that it was very creative. Thats why I think that i deserve A 98% because I don't feel like I did a 100% job.

1. I believe that the sphere exploded because it was compacked with materails, energies, elements, and other things. It probably exploded because it needed more room to hold itself and we are just part other another explotion.

2. If we were to touch the edge of the balck hole, we would end up swirling to the center. I don't know wat might happen at the center but if it can't eat everything then it will split you part in two jet beams.

3. I think if you go through a worm hole, you might end up in another galaxy or another part of the solar system or universe. You might be transported to years ago, or two years later. The locaions can be endless.

1. 1. Radial Velocity
2. Astrometry
3. Transit Method
4. Optical Detection

2. I mostly understand Astrometry the most because it is a method to learn about planets further out in space. Like, when you measure a star distance from another star and put it in measurement formulas, you will discover it's masses, gravitational pull, and if it is closer or further away.

3. Goldilock Zone is a area where life is said to be substainable for human life. If it is not too hot or too cold then its theorized that water might be on these planets.

4. A. I think their life forms might be more advance than our lifes but then again our life forms might be more advanced than their. It looks more greener than our planet.
B. They might tend to be more aggeresive towards us because we are new life forms and to them, we are unknown in a known territory.
C. They might be smarter than us or we might be smarter than they are. but because we are going to their planet, they will be smarter than us because they know their planets better than we do. Same with us about our planet if they were coming to earth.

5. I do believe their are other life forms just like us but they are not aliens. Becuase if we call them aliens, then through their eyes, we are the aliens. There are multiple galaxies outside of our own, and if we have a livable planet in this galaxy, than theirs possibly another livable planet in other galaxies. We shouldn't feel like we are the most supier specie because out their we don't know nothing out their and for them they might not know nothing about us or this solar system.

1. Hydrogen & Helium

2. Carbon Dioxide & Nitrogen

3. If their was a planet that I could live on, it would be Saturn. Only because of the high hydrogen levels which means their is a possible chance for water. The ground is like a slushy sand and beneath the sand, is a thin icy sheet. Plus because of the icy sheet, I could possibly grow plants that way I can eat. Plus I can get a lot of exercise climbing up and down the mountains and digging for water on Saturn.

Red Giants

A sun last about 10 billion years until its hydrogen fuel runs out and then it gets hotter inside the sun. When it gets to hot, it's expands to a tremendous size called Red Giant. As its growth excels it begins to swallow stars, planets, asteroids, or anything in it's path. Suddenly, the Red Giant makes a giant explosion called a Supernova and leaves behind a small matter called a White Dwarf, which is nothing but a small white ball or star. Finally from their, the White Dwarf
either creates a Nebular structure or a Black Hole.


Supernovas

Supernovas are a giant explosions that happen when a sun creates too much iron and collapses into itself. When the sun becomes 10x or more bigger than a average sun, it is the start of a Supernova reaction. After a Supernova occurs, the particle molecules condense together to from a white dwarf, which then can become a Neutron star or a black hole. Neutron stars are like the start of a new born sun star, which is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Black holes are when too much condense particles and intense gravity come together, thus creating a rift in space.


Dark Matter


Dark matter is one of the most dangerous elements in the entire solar system. It's invisible to the naked eye because it is missing gas. Using visible light to try to see it, it would appear as a dark tinted purple, which is how it got it's name. Its a collection of dark energy and dense masses which piles together into a storm cloud of some sort. It holds all the planet in place and distributes the directions of light and its speed. And its is also part of the cloaking process that makes Black holes invisible.


Black Hole


Black holes are like the cave in of a sun, which to me is pretty awesome. They say that black holes can suck anything and everything and send it to another dimension. Then another theory is that, when your sucked into a black hole, you will die. Because the gravity is so strong within the hole that all the color pigments cant reach the end which makes it invisible to human eyes. That's why I chose Black holes.


Titan

Titan is Saturn's largest moon and the second largest moon in the entire solar system. NASA has been trying to find life on Titan or get a simple visual of what the landscape of Titan is like. The insides of Titan is like a slushy mixture of sand and gravel along with ice below the gravel. NASA's theory is that Titan moon never heated up to a certain temperature to have the ice and the rocks fully divide, and not in layers.

1 . A: Blog #4,

B: Because I worked really hard on it and I tried to get all the information that I could on that topic. The new things that I learned on that topic was that plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensation were stage matters.


2. A: The topic that I enjoyed the most was El nino.

B: Because all it takes is for the trade winds to reverse and the sea of destruction is brought to south America, Central America, and some parts of southern california.


3. I think that I should get about a 95% because I could have worked a lot harder on my other blogs and I could have gotten more information on my work. Some of my work was affected by time and some was done very quickly but I still worked hard on what I did.

1. Tree's are affecting us but it is mainly the oak tree that is affecting us more than other tree's.

2. Tom Mather said that the flower season is kind of compressed this year, and couple that with dry, windy weather and that creates the perfect storm of pollen.

3. A. Convolvulaceae Pollen because it has spikes and craters with points in the middle.
B. This pollen is found in China.
C. This pollen doesn't really affect Americans unless someone has a plant that produces this type of pollen. Most flowers in China can produces this pollen in 20 general regions and 129 species of flowers can make it. These pollens have spiky points that are equal separated and craters are located near and between the spikes.

1. 1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas
4. Plasmas
5. Bose-Einstein Condensation

2. To change gas into plasmas, you need to add electricity to it to keep the energy going. It also need a special environment for plasmas to last longer.

3. 1. F= -459.67
2. C= -273.15
3. K= 0.

4. K= 3

5. A: I think the smell of Plasmas, if taken in enough, it could kill you. The feel of Plasmas probably might not be able to happen because it was converted from gas, which we also can't feel. Tasting Plasmas might be little to much, becuase there it also plasmas in your blood(one of the 3 components to heal wounds), and tasting it might taste something like your own blood. If plasmas is also in neon lights then seeing plasmas is very possible to do. We can see some gas's and since plasmas is made from gas, we can see, under certain conditions.

b: Smelling BE Condensation is just the same as smelling the air near the poles of the earth. B.E.C is made of super cold air so feeling it would really be possible. The best way to taste B.E.C is to eat the ice created by it coldness effect. Seeing B.E.C is the most hardest thing to do because it is the air's condition and we can never see the air we breath.

1.1. Rainwater collections
2. Geothermal A/C
3. Solar photovoltaic

2. 1.Rainwater collections: Using rainwater to water your plants instead of using pipe water.
2.Geothermal A/C: Using the earths heat as a heating system.
3.Solar Photovoltaic: Using the sun light to convert it into energy using solar panels.

3. Conservation & Biodiversity

4. Human Expansion and Activity

5. I think if we took natures territory into consideration, we might understand that they have living spaces too. Polar bears are on the way to extinction and we are slowly making a difference for them. Still, big business's around the world don't care about people or animals, and will kill anything that gets in their way from making money. If we took charge and realized that they can only make money if we buy the product and stop buying it, then we will get their attention. In order to save the planet, we need to break our horrible cycle and get everyone's attention, and force them to make a difference.

1. Hurricane Floyd 1999

2. Category: 1
Wind speed(kph): 120 mph
Typical Damage: some damage with a Storm Surge of 9 to 10.

3. Hurricane Floyd began in Africa's coast and began moving towards the US. The Bamhamas were the first to be hit and at the borderof the east coast, Floyd took gradual turns and stayed on the east coast heading north. Floyd was a level 1 on Saffir-Simpson scale but the amount of water it carried put it in history for it rainfall. The floods that Floyd caused was resposible for 50 of the 56 deaths in the US, which also cost us $6 billionin damage. With hurricane Floyd, it wasn't the winds that cause the most damage, it was the rain fall and the floods the did it for the US.

4. 1. 50 of the 56 deaths
2. $6 billion

Blog Post #7


1.A. Pangaea Time Scale
B. The reason why it was so good is because I worked so hard on it and put a lot of information on it.
2. The grade that I think I should get is a 89% because even though I worked really hard on all my posts, their are still some that might lack information and one is incomplete due to time.

3. The chapter that I liked the most was Chapter 14 about Ocean Water and Ocean Life. I liked how there are many ways that the ocean controls below and above the sea. How the ocean controls the temperature below and pulls all over the world. Which then moves above the ocean a regulates the temperature in the air. It also controls how the wild life on land survive from day to day, along with the sea life. That's why I like Chapter 14 most of all.

Panda Rescue

1. 1.Chinese earthquake: Giant pandas rescued
2.Telegraph.co.uk

2.Sent boulders as "big as Volkswagens" crashing down from nearby mountains

3. I can agree with him because rocks falling from mutliple mountains can cause serious damage even if there not giant size. Still during earthquakes, huge rocks can fall or roll down that could trap, block, or even kill someone. So when he said that they were the size of volkswagens, I can believe that.

Pangaea Time Scale

1. Similar: Rodinia and Pangaea similarities were at the beginning of their formations, they were this one big cluster of land. Similar to the super continent.

Differences: Rodinia just started from the center and fanned out from their to their current locations now. While Pangaea fanned out from the center, to the edges of the Robinson map, and back to their current locations today.

2: The time period that had the most tectonic change was the 420-350 time spans.

3: We wouldn't really need as many planes as we do today, but we would increase train useage. We would probably have a one government system, and most people will not be separate but more of the same. It will be hard to make many international teams because we all live so close together, and some world issues from before the change would most likely end.

4: If I had to choose which continent to start life on, I would choose to be in North America. It's closer to the edge than the center of Africa, so fish and other sea creatures will be easier to take, keep, and sell. We are also about half way from the north and the south of he continent, so travelers will have to get through our civilization. Our land would help other lands prosper and help build connections.

"MY" GRADE

I believe I earned a 92%, because i've worked hard but not hard enough. I need to continue pushing myself untill I fall. I need to remember to bring things in and turn them in on time and stop meeting half way. I think my "Rock assignment blog was the best one I did". I told what was on my mind whenI looked it up and I remained true to what I posted.

Rock assignment.


The three rocks that i use everyday is marble (metamorphic), coal (sedimentary), and crystal (igneous). I use marbles when i prepared a meal on marble counter-tops. I use coal when ever i go outsode and start grilling. I use crystal just when i have spare time and look at how beautiful and gorgeous it is.

my favorite jewel is the emerald. the way the green goes and blends in with the dark part of the jewel make me feel beautiful inside.

my fav map


My favorite map is the robinson map. I like the robinson map because it shows everything, even the islands. Some of them show temperture, religion, and/or land features. Some add other maps like gnomanic, or conic. It also shows all the oceans in the world, plus it shows rivers and lakes and ponds.

dimas's anwser


I think the hydrosphere is the most interesting thing to me. I like learning about the water and the wild life that inhabits it. Plus I can learn about how the storms in the sea operate. It also boggles my mind how the temp in the sea is much lower than the temp in the air. All these I want to learn under the the hydrosphere.
