Earth Day Project

EARTH DAY

1. What do the organizers of Earth Hour want everyone to do at 8:30 PM?
Turn off our lights for an hour.
2. What is the point?
to save energy
3. When was the first Earth Hour?
a long time ago.

turn off computer, turn off lights, dont use as much water,get the new light bulbs,and save energy.

4 essental questions

What, specifically about your topic, are you going to research?

What im going to research is the fundamentals and the truth behind solar power. I would like to research the prices and the materials used to make solar power. My group and I are also trying to get into the lives of people with solar power to see is it helping the economy, or is it destroying the economy from the materials that are needed to build such a force.


What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference? Be specific. This is the main part of your assignment.

I personally belive that solar power helps the earth, WHY? Because it uses the power that is really not used day to day. So if we abuse the power then it would be a waste, or time, money, and investing.

What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations?

Then the world would come to an ending. Wat i mean by that is that, now all of these thing or products that we use to give us power or the products we use day to day, is hurting the world as we know it. Using Solar power will reduce those risks.


What would happen if, best-case scenario, everybody listened to your recommendations?

I believe that the world would become a better place. Global Warming wouldn't be so much a high priority, we would have to focus on crimes and dangers of the world that we face as human beings.

3/19/09 WORST WEATHER EVENTS

1. Which weather events kill the most Americans?

I believe that hurricanes kill the most people, becuase you hear stories about Katrina and how it devestated the states in the south but when you hear stories about tornadoes it doesnt kill that many people.

2. Which weather events kill the most people (in the world)?
typhones, earth quakes and hurricanes.

3. Are your answers to those two questions different? Why or why not?
Yes becuase in america its mostly hurricanes that we have killing people.

4. Read this article. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
I do but i dont, because of the fact that other storms causes those disasters.

5. For your response to #1, find three weather events. Describe what happened (how severe was the storm, did anyone get hurt or die, how much property damage, include pictures, etc.).

Hurricanes

KATRINA- the damn broke and New Orleans was flooded

Issabelle- costlyess and deadless hurricane in 2003.

wilma- was the most dangreous in 1935

Dating Methods (2/17/09)

1. What is relative dating? (hint: not when two cousins go on a date)

Relative dating is the process by which rocks are placed in their proper sequence or order; only the chronological order of events is determined, no the absolute age in years.

2. When would a geologist use radiometric dating?

Geologists would use radiometric dating when rocks are 75,000 years or older. They would us radiometric dating when they want to find the absolute age of rocks and minerals.

3. When would a geologist use radiocarbon dating?

A geologist would use radiocarbon dating when rocks are 75,000 and younger. They compare the amount of Caron 14 to Carbon 12 to determines the age of a rock or mineral.

4. Explain how you can use tree rings to date and study the recent past? (see p. 351)

You can study the rings on a tree by seeing how many rings it has. If it has a lot of rings, it is old. Another way is the insects found in the sap of the tree.daughter material.

5. What is half-life

Half-life is the time required for one half of the atoms of a radioactive substance to decay.

6. Explain how today's lab showed half-life.

It shows half-life because when you would shake the pennies, some of them turn over and some of them don't, and that shows the parent material changing into the daughter material.

Air Masses

1. What are the four main types of air masses? What does each letter stand for?
mT= Maritime Tropical
mP= Maritime Polar
cP = Continental Polar
cT = Continental Tropical

2. Which kind of air mass(es) do you think brings hurricanes?
CONTINENTAL POLAR AIR MASS

3. Which kind of air mass(es) do you think brings drought?

CONTINENTAL TROPICAL AIR MASS

4. Which kind of air mass(es) brings lake-effect snowstorms?
MARITIME POLAR AIR MASS

5. Today we learned about the four main types of air masses. In reality, there any many more than four. What are two others? Explain them.

What are potentially more dangerous to people: volcanoes or earthquakes? Why?
Give three examples of major destruction from volcanoes or earthquakes. (Include the location of the volcano/earthquake, the date that it happened, what exactly happened, and a picture of each)

I say that volcanoes and earthquakes are the same danger level. With an earthquake u cant predict when it will happen, and also it can put holes in the ground or can make a bridge fall apart and put peoples lives in danger. With a volcano you dont kno when its going to erupt either, and even if you did you wouldnt be able to know what direction it was going to be going in. it also put people lives in danger because the lava can melt any thing in its way.

Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and the surrounding region.

What are the different types of mass movements?

Landslides and rockfalls

Which mass movement has the greatest potential to cause the most damage? Why?

the mass movement that would cause most damage is rockslides because is rock slides because it can really hurt some one.

4 SCIENCES

What are the four main sciences in Earth Science?

1.Geology

2.oceanography

3.Meteorlogy

4.Astronomy

Which one is your favorite? Why?

Oceanography is my favorite because i like water, i like to swim, so if I learn about the ocean i will be more intrested instead in this subject.

MAP PROJECTIONS

My favorite is the conic map projection, not becuase of its personality (science;reason) but becuase of its looks. Really! Have you seen it, I like how it curves around the globe to make it look like an ICE CREAM CONE. Heres how it looks.

YOU CRAZY!!!!!

What I Thing My grade Will Be!!!!!!

I know for a fact that i will have a high average in this class becuase i love science. I know i will make a great grade becuase after Christmas break I came back will an attitude of school, and only school. So with that in mind science will be no problem, and studying will be no problem at all.
The grade im expecting is the hightest 96% to the lowest 85%.
