IDK My three topics IDK

1. What was your favorite Geology topic this year? Why?

My favorite topic in the study of rocks was the mohs scale because it's cool how you can measure the hardness of a mineral.
2. What was your favorite Meteorology topic this year? Why?

My favorite topic in the study of weather would be the tornado mainly because they destroy a lot of thing and there very cool the way its like a twister from the clouds.
3. What was your favorite Astronomy topic this year? Why?

You already know about this section it's definitely the black holes the way nothing can escape them ha ha to bad for who or whatever touches it's horizon.
4. What grade do you think you earned on the Final Exam? What did you do to prepare? Is there anything that you wish you had done differently?

I think I got a 90 probably between 88-93 and I really didn't do anything I just ask questions over and over and over then eventually it's stuck there and it probably is something different I could have done but I don't know what that is

1. What made the Big Bang "bang?" In other words, why didn't the universe just stay in a tiny little sphere the size of a golfball? More details = more points.

The big bang theory states that at one time the universe was confined to a dense, hot, superrnassive ball. Then, 13.7 billion years ago, a violent explosion occured making all these materials go into all directions. The universe continues to expand, evolve and cool from the explosion.

2. What do you think would happen if you went into a black hole? Scientists only know what happens until you get to the event horizon. Anything beyond that is really just an educated guess. More details = more points.

I think that as soon as you pass the event horizon in a black hole you will quickly be sucked in by gravity and your body would explode into millions of pieces instantly. There would be no chance of escape since the gravity is so strong and there is no light, not to be cruel like that.

3. Tell me what you think about worm holes? When you pass through one, where do you go? WHEN do you go? More details = more points.

I think that it would be impossible for you to go into the past, but you would be no where just floating in space or you could go deep into the future. I think that you would instantly be pulled into the future probably hundreds of years away. You would be able to see how the how time changes and possibly how generations repeat and grow in various ways. But you would only be able to leavr the worm hole by coming out the other side of the one you went in thats why it's going to be awhile before you come out.

Planet Quest
1. What are the four ways scientists can detect planets?
Radial Velocity, Astrometry, transit method, Optical Detection
2. Which way makes the most sense to you? Explain it.
Astrometry because it's basically math in some sense.
The Goldilocks Zone

3. Explain the concept of the "Goldilocks Zone."
Like the land is not to hot and not to cold.
4. If Gilese 581c does have life, what do you think it would look like? How would it act? Would it be intelligent?
5. Do you believe in aliens? Why or why not? Give me a solid paragraph
(1)Radio Velocity, Astrometry, Transit Method, and Optical Detection are the four ways scientists detect planets.
(2) The One That Makes The Most Sense To Me Is Optical Detection. It Basically Puts a Thing In Front On The Sun That Blocks The Light And It Reveals Hidden Planets.


(3) The Concept Of The Goldilocks Zone Is That This Area Is Just Right. Its Not Too Cold And Its Not To Hot.

(4) If Gilese 581c Did Have Human-Life Then It Would Not Only Just Be Water But There WOuld Soon Be Human Made Land. And It Would Look Similar To Our Planet, Earth. And I Believe It Would Act As Earth Too. Im Not Soo Sure If It Would Be Intlligent Or Not Because There COuld Be A Lot Advantages And Disadvantages Follwed

(5)I really do not know what to believe because if alliens did exsist how would we be ale to detect them like how do they think? what do they eat, etc?

1. What is the primary gas in the Jovian atmospheres?
It's hydrogen


2. What is the primary gas in Mars and Venus?
carbon dioxide
3. If you had to visit one planet, which would it be? Why? Give me a solid paragraph.
pluto because itd so far away so I could look out and see all the planets and I would be solitary from all the others because of my distance plus it's so small so I could be the king and still control it and it would be pretty cool to go to a planet that nobodies ever been on.

5five5 topic

1. Black holes are regions of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. There size can vary in size, but typical one is 10 times the size of sun.


2. The moon is the brightest object in the sky but gives off no light of its own but reflects light off the sun. Its much smaller than Earth and is only 27% of its radius. The light parts of the moon were flooded by lava when volcanoes erupted millions of years ago.

3. Milky Way Galaxy is the home of the Solar System and 200 billion other stars and their planets. Its a giant and has almost one trillion solar masses.

4.Worm holes- A hypothetical "tunnel" connecting two different points in space 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. The ends of a wormhole could, in theory, be intra-universe.




5.Dark energy- In the context of dark energy, the cosmological constant is a reservoir which stores energy. Its energy scales as the Universe expands. Applied to the supernova data, it would distinguish effects due to the matter in the Universe from those due to the dark energy. Unfortunately, the amount of this stored energy required is far more than observed and would result in very fast acceleration. So much so that the stars and galaxies would not form.

1. Which blog was your best this quarter? Why?


I think the wordle is my best blog this quarter because it deals with the art and I like art.
2. What topic did you enjoy learning about the most (from chapter 17-20)? Why? Include a picture.

chapter 20 because it deals with wheather patterns and severe storms and plus I think tornadoes are cool because they destroy everything o yeah.
3. What grade do you deserve for your 3rd Quarter Blogs? (Keep in mind some basic math. If you only did 3 out of 6 of them you cannot earn above a 50%.)
 
I think I deserve at least a 94 but not a 100 because nobody is perfect so yeah thats why I believe I deserve the grade I said.

wordle words

1. Check out Fayetteville's pollen forecast. Which is affecting us the most right now: tree, grass, or weed pollen? Specifically, which trees, grasses, or weeds?

Trees and to be specific the oak trees.


2. "You're Surrounded by Pollen," so read this article. What is needed for a "perfect storm" of pollen?

Couple that with dry, windy weather, and you have a perfect storm of pollen

3. Choose a microscopic image of pollen. Which one looks the best to you? Why? Where is this pollen commonly found? Write a paragraph in your own words explaining this specific type of pollen. Include a cool-looking picture. You may need to use other websites to help you.
 

because it has all diffrent types of pollen and that my man looks cool in microscopic form.
Pollen from a variety of common plants: sunflower and sunflowers are mostly found in north and south dakota,and Sunflower pollen can produce an allergic reaction. Symptoms vary but may include itching, wheezing and headache.

plasma

1. What are the five states of matter?
2. What is needed to change a gas into a plasma?
3. What is the temperature at "absolute zero?" (in Farenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin)
4. What is the temperature in space? (in Kelvin)
5. What do you think plasma would like look/smell/feel/taste? How about Bose-Einstein Condensates? Do some research on other sites, but ultimately come up with your own unique answer :)

              1.Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and boseinstein condensates.


2.physical force

3.farenheit is -459.67 degrees. celsuis is -273.15 degrees. kelvin is 0 degrees

4. its three degrees

5. I don't think plasma would have a taste, feel hot, smell chemically, and look like a gas. Bose-Einstein Condensates would not have a taste, feel cold, smell chemically, and look like a gas.

3.Earth Day is coming up. Click on one of the Core Issues. Which one did you choose? What is the big problem associated with this issue? What can you do to fix this problem? Give me a solid paragraph.
4. What is the big problem associated with this issue?
5. What can you do to fix this problem? Give me a solid paragraph.

          1) Rainwater collections, Geothermal A/C, and Solar energy.


2) Rain barrels for rain collections. For Geothermal they will use underground pipes for A/C. For Solar energy they will most likely use solar panels.



Earth Day is coming up. Click on one of the Core Issues. Which one did you choose? What is the big problem associated with this issue? What can you do to fix this problem? Give me a solid paragraph.



1) Energy

2) The big problem is finding a renewable resource.

3) I can try to use less energy until 'they' find a new, suitable, reliable, renewable resource. I can be resourceful with the enrgy in my house. I can also participate in the Earth Hour Campaign, or come up with a new renewable resource.

Black history

George Washington Carver, Jr

 His contrubution was to make colored people make more of there self. and these were some of the products he made Shampoo, Shoe Polish ,Shaving Cream, Sugar, Synthetic Marble, Synthetic Rubber, Talcum Powder, Vanishing Cream, Wood Stains, Wood Filler, Worcestershire Sauce

Otis Boykin (1920 -1982) invented electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the control unit for a pacemaker.Because now instead of aiming directly at something but then you miss now you can control the missel thats why its significant.

Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Earth's Day, Shifted Axis The huffington post


2. What was the author's thesis? (insert the quote)

Gross said the calculated changes in length of the day are permanent. So a bunch of big quakes could add up to make the day shorter, "but these changes are very, very small."So small, in fact, that scientists can't record them directly.


3. Do you agree with their thesis? Why or why not?

Yes I do because Even haven't felt the earths days getting shorter and they have no correct or directly information about this theory.

Rodinia and Pangaea

1. How were Rodinia and Pangaea similar and different from each other?

there similar because there close together and compact but then there different because Pangaea is more close together and the continents are in different places from the Rodina.


2. When did the tectonic plates appear to move the fastest? (biggest difference between two consecutive maps)

350 to 300 appear to change the fastest because the body of the land was mostly south then it jump in the middle so that's why i think that 350 to 300 is the most biggest consecutive jump.

3. Look at Pangaea (250 million years ago). If the continents looked like Pangaea today, what would the world be like? Think about governments, sports teams and leagues, and other aspects of life.

O Wow that would be amazing the capital would either be EU or AF because of size and mostly all of the big time stuff would either be in AF and EU like the president the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, NWBA, and etc everybody that's rich might stay in EU or AF and if you make decent money then you would stay on the boundaries of those and the poor would stay like all the way on the outside but they would still be helpful because they will have all of the main resources so the rich people would eventually help them financially because of that. So that's how I think the world in general would be like what do you think it would be like Mr. Dunn

4. Look at Pangaea. If you could pick any place in Pangaea to start a modern civilization, where would you pick? Why?

I would settle or start a civilization in Africa because it is really big and it might have treasures that may come of a use to me , plus it is in the center of everybody else so it make it look like your the king or government to some degree . Then it's close to the equator so it's hot and I like that and if you think its to hot just go down south because AF so big you can get cold air at the same time.

1. List one sedimentary rock, and explain how you use it everyday.

Coal, when people have a cookout they ues coal on the grill.

2. List one igneous rock, and explain how you use it everyday.

Igneous rocks make useful road building materials because they are so hard. Sheets of igneous rock can be cut and polished and used inside buildings gravestones.
3. List one metamorphic rock, and explain how you use it everyday.

Marble is a metamorphic rock that is used to make floor tiles, counter tops and it is carved into statues and was used extensively in the building of the Roman Colluseum among other great historic buildings.

4. Find a picture of the coolest looking rock that you can find. What is its name? Include a picture.

Rock Salt

1. How deep is the deepest mine in the world?

The TauTona gold mine in South Africa, a mere 3.6 kilometers deep.

2. How deep would you have to dig to reach the mantle?

3.6 kilometers deep because its at the bottom of the TauTona gold mine.

3. Let's pretend that you and your friends tried to dig a hole in your backyard to find a shortcut to China. The thing is, you guys had special suits that could withstand extreme temperatures, so you would not die. If you were somehow able to reach the mantle, what would it look like? What kinds of things would you see? How about the outer core? Inner core? What would it look like as you approached the surface (the crust) on the other side?

  O wow well first the mantle would look like some hot red toothpaste moving around but some of it look like its frozen and silver but it was still extremly hot then when I reached the outer core it had looked like a small sun with flames jumping in and out of it but yet at the same times it kind of looked as if it was water don't know how that could be then with those suits we had on we jump threw the outer core and was going threw the inner core it looked liked a very dense basketball and it looked cold but it was so hot and dense that it took longer to get threw it so now were passed it and were on our way to China and the crust looked like somebody with cracked up skin and it was hard kind of but we could handle it so we bust threw it and there it was China town I even got a picture. Well I had to walk for about a week but I saw it SEE.

1. List all of the geologic periods in order from oldest to present (Cambrian to Quaternary).

Cambrian,Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Trassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary, Quanternary.
2. Come up with a mneumonic to help you remember the order. (example: My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas)

Calvin Order Some Dominos California Pizza To James Company Today
3. First watch this animation. Then put the rock layers in order from the image on the right.

1.D 2.A 3E. 4B. 5.C

this was really really hard

1. What grade do you deserve for your 1st Quarter Blogs?

I think that I deserve a decent grade.

2. Why do you deserve this grade?

I think I deserve a decent grade because the blogs are great but not perfect.
3. Which blog was your best? Why?

The one when we did with the cars and the mpg because one I like cars and because it was something  realistic that we can do in real life.

What criteria would you use? Please be realistic and consider whichever factors you feel are important."


Mom I want a Audi R8 because it has a really unique body type,it's a sports car,the inside is really nice, it's really fast but it doesn't have much gas MPG but it's fast so it's a very nice trade off.
  This is what it looks like.

choose 5 minerals that you have used before. Also post a picture of one.

I use bauxite when I ues aluminum.

When I'm in school I use the graphite in my pencil to write.

Sadly I've drunk a lot of halite out of the sea.

I put talc in my shoes to prevent from sweating a lot on my feet.

Calcite helps clean my teeth when I'm brushing them.

Which map projection is your favorite? Why? Include a picture.

My favorite map projection is the Robinson, because is shows the whole earth at one time, and the lines are very easy to read, its not the most common but it always gets the work done, so thats why the robinson is my favorite map projection.

astronomy

"Which of the four sciences in Earth Science seems the most interesting to you? Why? Include at least one picture."

Astronomy because it study the universe and the probing the orgins of the earth and I feel that astronomy is one of the interesting things and I like how the word sounds thats why I like it.
