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.
