1. What are 3 scientific facts that you learned from watching Journey to the Center of the Earth?
2. What are 3 things in the movie that were scientifically untrue.

1.If you drop water into magma into evaporation.

The fossil in the movie the fact that fossils are real.

magnesium the rocks is also real.

2.The blue little bird in the movie.

If you reach the center of the Earth you will died no doubt about it.

Dinosaurs are extincted.

Constellations. :)

1. What was your favorite topic that we learned about this year in Earth Science?
2. Explain this topic. Provide a picture and/or website link to better illustrate what you learned.
3. Why is this so cool? Mr. Dunn likes a lot of stuff that we do (that's why we do it). Why did you like this particular

UNIVERSE!

I liked the protostars and planetesimals and things about the universe. I always like the stars and and planets especially my favorite planet Mars and Pluto(it's a planet).Also the constellation thing because i always try so hard to find one of those I still haven't but, I will some day. I learned more facts about planets that I didn't know. And, Black Holes were the cools thing in the universe.

The Big Bang! "/

The Big Bang Theory attempts to explain the formation of the universe. What do you think the universe looked like before the Big Bang? What made the universe "bang?"

I think it looked very empty. But, it would have from little protostar to a planetesmial then it bacame what we know today.

Extrasolar Planet!

1. What are the four ways astronomers can detect extrasolar planets?
2. Choose one of the four ways and explain it in detail.
3. In your answer to #2 you chose one way that astronomers detect extrasolar planets. Search the Internet to find how many extrasolar planets have been detected using this method.



1. Doppler Shift
Astrometric Measurements
Transit Method
Gravitational Micrlensing
Direct Detection

2.Doppler Shift
Measurement or change in stars. Star's movement induced by a planet's gravitational tug.

3.210 have been discovered.

Planets

Which planet or moon is your favorite? Why?

My favorite planet is Mars and Pluto they are the best planet. Frist I will start with Pluto. I like because its different and just cause its different doesn't not mean it's not a planet. Yea Pluto maybe a little small but, so what just because a person tiny didn't mean that they're not a person. Right? I think Pluto should became a planet it does have some feature of a planet. But, I will always consister Pluto a planet.

Second Mars is also my other favorite planet. I like Mars because Mars haves a cool color. However, no other planet has a volcano but, guess what Mars does and its the largest one too. Mars has similarities to Earth.

Astronomy.(:

Over the next couple of weeks, you will be working on a research assignment called the Astronomy Choice Project (ACP). Details for the assignment will be given during class on Monday. For today's blog post, you will choose 5 topics that sound interesting, and write a paragraph for each. You are not committed to using any of today's choices for your research assignment. Here's the list of choices:


Black holes Worm holes String Theory (check Powers of 10 link, then ask Mr. Dunn for help)Dark matter Dark energy Search for aliens (SETI)Mars The Moon Pluto Hubble Telescope Titan (one of Saturn's moons)Apollo missions Saturn's rings Big Bang Theory Telescopes Ultimate fate of the universe International Space Station Kuiper Belt Milky Way Galaxy Andromeda Galaxy Asteroid Belt Dwarf Planets Red Giants Binary Planet Systems Binary Star Systems



Black Hole
To became a black hole it has to be three solar masses. Also they don't know where black hole in but, they do know that it ends some wherein space. Its suck anything that cames near it. Also Black Holes suck you I need so fast you won't even know what to do.

Dark matter
Dark matter is gravity pull together. Also Black Hole make Dark Matter. And they it's what is holding their universe together.

Planet Red
The Red Planet better know as Mars. Has volcano on the surface unlike any other planets. Mars has the largest volcano know in space. And Mars also have similarities to Earth.

Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It hasn't clear its orbit yet. Pluto moons Charon is about the same size as Pluto.

Titan
Titan is Saturn moons. Titan is also the largest moon on Saturn but, the second largest in space. Also water has been found on Titan.

Condensation! ( :

In your blog, write about 5 examples of condensation and condensation nuclei. Please include at least 1 picture.

Water- The water bottle surface.
Grass- The dew in you grass.
Mirror- After you get out the shower the mirror foggy.
Refrigerator- The inside in the door and walls.
Car- The window on your car in the morning.

Is it?

In your opinion, is Pluto a Planet? Why or why not? Please include a picture.

Pluto is a planet because, if its a drawft planet than it a planet. It has a planet "drawft planet" so it makes it a planet. Its in the solar system and its not a rock so that would make it a planet.

Monsoon: )

Monsoons

1. What is a monsoon?

2. What 2 major factors cause monsoons?

3. Give 2 reasons why monsoons could be considered a good thing.



Monsoon Information Index (click on the PDF versions once you get to this site)

4. Give 2 negatives of monsoons.240 Die in India

5. Why did so many people die here? What exactly happened? Please be complete :)

6. After everything that you have read about monsoons, what do you think? Are they good or bad? Why?



1. A seasonal reversal or wind direction.

2. the movement northward from winter to summer of the huge upper level subtropical high pressure system.

3. Monsoon will be good because dry area will become more wet/moisture.

Decrease in Thunderstorm will also be good.



4. Severe Thunderstorms and Flash Flood Patterns.

5. heavy rainfall at the end of the monsoon season and flooding.

6. Monsoon can be good and bad. Bad because of the thunderstorm and, good because of the moisture.

The Big Hole.!

1. What is global warming?




2. Do you believe in global warming? Briefly explain.




3. Give three pieces of evidence to support your position on number 2.




4. Despite your response to #2, there are smart people out there that believe the complete opposite of what you believe. Give three pieces of evidence for someone with the opposing viewpoint.







1.When the green house gas burn a hole in the ozone layer and the sun UV rays get through and temperature increases.







2.Yes I means because the world is going to be over soon. It can be by other things be hide but, we can never tell when its going to happen. But, if we keep throwing trash every where its not going to help.

3.Climate change, deforestation, and the CO2 levels.

4.If you don't believe in this science research it and there is factual information of the CO2 levels are decrease, river are dry up because its becomings to change, and the extreme heat/temperature change.

Dennis???

1. Which hurricane did you choose?
2. What category was it on the Saffir-Simpson scale?
3. Tell its story.
4. How many lives were lost? How much damage did it cause ($)?
5. Include at least one picture.

The hurricane i choose was Dennis.

Hurricane Dennis was a category 4 hurricane.

Dennis form from a tropical wave. It move a cross the coast of Africa June 29. The cyclone moved west-northwest ward to eastern and central Caribbean Sea. Became a tropical storm July 5. July 7 became a major hurricane. Category4 wind speed 150. 135 when it passed Cuba.

42 deaths - 22 in Haiti, 16 in Cuba, 3 in the United States, and 1 in Jamaica.$2.23 billion. United States is estimated at $2.23 billion damage in Jamaica is estimated at 1.9 billion Jamaican dollars* (approximately $31.7 million U. S.).

Cold 'n' Hot

1. What are the 4 main types of air masses? What does each letter stand for?




2. Which kind of air mass is most likely to bring hurricanes? Why?




3. Which kind of air mass(es) is most likely to bring a drought? Why?




4. Which kind of air mass(es) bring lake-effect snowstorms? (check p. 561)




5. Today we learned about the 4 main types of air masses. In reality, there are many more than four. List and explain 2 other air masses.









1.mT Maritime =wet




Tropical=warm




mP Maritime=wet




Polar=cold




cT Continental=dry




Tropical=warm







cP Continental=dry







Polar=cold

2.Maritime Tropical Because its wet and moisture air.

3.Continental Tropical and Continental Polar.

4.Continental Polar brings lake-effect snowstorms.

The End of the World!

1. What is "IR" radiation?
2. What are the 3 main greenhouse gases?
3. In your opinion, is the greenhouse effect a good thing or a bad thing?



1.IR raditation is heat.

2.Carbon Dioxide

Water

Methane

3.Its a bad thing because we can die from this it like make it to hot for us to survive.

Recycling!

1.Recycling is a good thing because it save more money than having to use sand and make more glass. Also it will use less fuel.
2.We can use the blue bin to more soda cans and things of that natural.
3.The closest recycling center would be the Cliffdale Site.
5.Recycle Plastic can make bottle, shower stalls, recycling bins, scouring pads, paint brushes, industrial strapping, drainpipes, plastic lumber, flowerpots.
6.Mental once its burned it can be made into cans, automobile parts, siding, appliances, and building materials.
7.Try to make it a cool thing. So recycling is cool.!

Ocean

The ocean I pick was the Pacific. Oil and gas fields, polymetallic nodules, sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, fish.

Periods.

1Cambrain
2Ordovician
3Silurian
4Devonian
5Mississippian
6Pennsylvanian
7Permian
8Triassic
9Jurassic
10Cretaceous
11Tertiary
12Quaternary

Trees.

Scientists can tell the three by the rings because ever year it gets older one more ring gets added. It may because it tell us how old it is or maybe the past and how long the earth been around. Also it tell us how old trees can get. It absolute dating.

Rocks! unconformity...?

The order of the rock is D, A, E, C, B. From oldest to youngest. Unconformity really means the order of rock from oldest to largest.

Volcano...

I think volcano are far more dangerous then earthquake. I feel this way because is Chile they had a massive volcano eruption. It was the Chile Chaiten volcano. This volcano erupted May 3, 2008. And other than that scientists have been studying volcano and they have came up with a thesis that volcano can erupt much more quickly then anyone thought.

Wow!

I think I deserve a 93% because I could have done better. Next time can't do them less minute. It's very hard so don't try.

Dreams

The world's deepest mine is Tautona and its 3.6 kilometers deep. I would dig far enough to say I tryed but didn't succeed and also to keep myself. If could ever dig a hole to the mantle it would look like hot melt iron. It would be bright like the sun. The amazing thing I could see the inner core would be spinning. And the outer core would be a pool of water. As i approached the other side it would just normal like here in Fayetteville but more fun.

Grades.?!

I think deserve I a 88%. I think I deserve this because I tryed and work hard. I did the best I could do. I turn most of my work time. Nice, neat, and clean. Also I did pretty well on my tests.

September 1,2009

The two main types of Igneous Rock are intrusive and extrusive rock. Intrusive is below Earth surface. And Extrusive is above Earth surface. Two main types of Metamorphic are Foliate Metamorphic Rock and Non-Foliate Metamorphic. Foliate Metamorphic Rock is layed or branded appearance that is produce by exposure to heat and directed pressure. But, unlike Foliate Metamorphic Rock Non-Foliate doesn't have a branded or its not layed. Two types of Sedimentary rocks are Chemical Sedimentary Rock and Organic Sedimentary Rock. Chemical Sedimentary Rock form when dissolved materials precipitate from solution. Organic Sedimentary Rock form from accumulation of plants and animal debris.

Importance's

I would remened the Honda Accord. Because it ride nice. It doesn't take allot to fill the tank. Its a nice car brand new model. Has a GPS system work pretty good. Also has the Sirius radio system. Finally its a safe car.

Astronomy

I always thought astronomy looked cool. Also I like to look at the star and like to count them too. I like how the star can make picture. It would be something cool. Learning about all the different picture it can make. How it does that.

The Five Minerals.

The five Minerals I use are Bauxite, Borax, Copper, Halite, and Silver.
Bauxite is use in aluminum foil which is used to cover food. And also use to cover the rack in the oven. Borax is used in soap I wash with everyday. Copper is used in penny and also in phone lines. Halite is used in salt and I use salt on my food.The last one is Silver which is in some of the jewelry I wear.

The Best Day Ever.

The one map projection I like is the Robinson Projection because it show the whole world. Also it show distance, sizes, and shapes more accurately. It also has a clear lime of the Equator and Prime Meridian. It also more easier to read.
