My grade for these post

I think that I deserve a B- for these blogs because this time I didn't keep up with all of the post and when they needed to be posted.

My favorite parts of earth science

Rocks and Minerals were my favorite part of Geology. I liked learning about the different forms and characteristics about them.

Oceanography was my favorite part of earth science because i love looking at water sences and learning about them.

Of the atmosphere section, my favorite part of it was clouds. I liked the way they formed and moved. They were able to change the wearther and temperature.

My favorite part of astromony was learning about Saturn and its rings. The best part of the is its ring. There seven divisions of the rings and are made up of different particles like dust, rocks, icy objects and others.

Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram

1. A main sequence star is a star that fits in a region and can predict that the brightness and the size are close.

2. 90% of all stars are main sequence stars.

3. The sun is a main sequence star.

4. The sun will become a red giant and becomes bigger in luminosity.

Cloud Types

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

High Clouds: Cirrocumulus, Cirrus, Cirrostratus

Middle Clouds: Altocumulus, Altostratus, Lenticular

Low Clouds: Nimbostratus, Cumulus, Stratocumulus

Vertical Clouds: Cumulonimbus

2. Which cloud look the best to you?

Stratocumulus

3. What kind of weather does that type of cloud bring?

They usually don't bring precipitation but if it does it is a drizzle.

The Greenhouse Effect

1. Greenhouse Effect is when the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the gases that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.



2. The three most common types of gases are carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane.



3. They have formed because the earth's temperature has inceased 5 degree.



4. It makes the temoerature hotter on the earth which makes the seasons hotter.

5. The greenhouse effect is good because if it wasn't there, it would be freezing all year.

Off Shore Drilling

1. Offshore drilling is a drilling for oil or gas in an ocean, gulf, or sea, usually on the Outer Continental Shelf.

2. Offshore drilling is good because it brings money to people who work on the sites and owners and because we use the oil to transport to places.

3. It is bad because oil can spill in the ocean and can kill millions of sea animals.

4. I think that offshore drilling is both good and bad because it can spill and kill animals but it also heats up homes and runs cars.
