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.

CYO WEBQUEST

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.

Recycling

1. We should recycle glass, paper, metals, and plastic because we can make new iteams from each.
2. I think both are better then the other at one point or time because if you keep recycling glass it losses quality whereas you can not reuse paper so you would have to recycle it.
3. Fayetteville citizens can recycle by collecting all week and bringing the blue trash can to the crub on pickup day.
4. The closest center to my house is the one at the Hope Mills recreational Center.
5. I could be an example in my neighborhood and get other people to do it wit me.

My grade

Mr. Dunn, your class is so much fun and I really enjoy going to class. My blogs so far have been completed but I think I should at least get a B on my blogs. All of my blogs are complete and are published and my spelling and grammer is checked and corrected if need-be. I pretty sure most people said that they deserve an A on their blogs but I think I deserve at least a B.

MAUNA LOU

In Mauna Loa is located in Maunaloa, Hawaii. The Elevation of the volcano 13681 feet or 4170 miles. The volcano is not erupting but is still being measured by GPS recievers.

Lastest Earthquakes

Most earthquakes occur around the tip of Alaska and a little part of Asia. I think that area has a lot of earthquakes because it on a fault line that has a lot of stored energy. This fault is called Denali fault.
The closet earthquake was in the southeastern part of Missouri and in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Saturday, September 6, 2008 at 7:25:58 AM in Britsh Columbia, Canada near the Vancouver Island a earhtquake occured. The earthquakes occur offshore and are to far away to be felt. They are also to small to create a tsunami. Many earhtquakes are happening in this area and have been recorded scince August.

mass movement

This mass movement happened in La Conchita, California. This slide was caused by unstable slopes which happened because of rain water.

Renewable Resource

I think all of them could all be consider the best but i think solar energy is a top best. Solar energy comes from the sun which is out most of the day. People are creating a way to save the energy in a type of battier, that way while you are at work, the energy is being saved. Also people are being kind to even let neighbors use the energy when its not being used.

My favorite map projection is......

The Topographic map is my favorite because in class we got to make playdough. We filled it in a container with a little volcano to find out the elavation of it. I also like the Robinson projection map and the Gnominic projection map. I would like to study those more to.

My favorite part of earth science

hey guys
my favorite part is geography because it talks about the different landforms. I like mountains and valleys because they look so peaaceful.
