My Favorite EarthScience Topics







1. My favorite geology topic is Earth's History, learning about how old rocks are what type of category they all fall under. I like this topic because I have always wanted to know the age of rocks. I also enjoyed how rocks form.






2. My favorite meterology topic is Cloud Types and Preciptation, learning about the 3 main types of clouds( Cirrus,Cumulus,Stratus). My favorite type of cloud is cirrus. They are classified as white, thin, cute curly clouds! I like this topic because of getting to learn about the clouds characteristics and the type of weather they cause.


3. My favorite astronomy topic is The Solar System, learning about how the each planet follow under the following categories( terrestrial,jovian,and dwarf). I also, learned about how the planets close of far from the sun. I like this topic because getting to learn about all of the planets was very interesting to me.
4. The grade I think I deserve for my exam would be exactly a 97%, I studied really hard. I also, went over all of the tests on quizstar as for a studyguide. I really don't think I could have done anything better.

Blog Post # 4

1. Because of the big Bang has cause it to expand, it changed the temperatures. It also, made changes within the stars.

2. If I were to enter the black hole,I would probably die, due to gravital pull.I would Stay stuck in.

3. I think worm holes are very hard to predict. I also, think that the worm holes should not be best to really know about.

Extrasolar Planets

1. The four ways would be Radial Velocity,Astrometry,transit mathod, optical detection

2. Radial Velocity makes since to me because it explains how the stars are positioned becuses of a plane's gravity pulling towards them.

3. The concept of the Goldilocks Zone, is to find expoplanets that have charactersitics of the Earth and that contains life.

4. Gilese would have normal temperatures like Earth. The stars would be very close to Earth. It would look like very normal humans. Play, talk regulary.

5. I really do not believe in aliens because there was really no evidence found to actually prove that there were aliens. Because of this, astronomers were having such confusion, and debate.As of today I do not consider to believe that aliens live.

My Favorite Astronomy Topics

1. The Milky Way Galaxy contains the solar system. The Milky Way is made up of millions of stars.The discovery of the Milky Way was discovered by an ancient greek philosopher.The Milky Way is 13 billion years old.The Milky Way is also part of the Universe.

2. The rings of Saturn, is divided into 5 groups( G,F,A,B,C) rings. The F and G rings are very thin and very hard to see. However, the A,B,C rings are very easy to see. The large gap between A and B is called the Cassani Division. The rings can not be solid, because of the Roche limit.

3. The Moon is the only satellite for Earth. The Moon has been known ever since pre-historic times. It is the second brightest object in the solar system after the sun.The first visit of the Moon was in 1959.It's first landing was on July 20, 1969.

4. Andromeda Galaxy is the Milky Way's sister. This galaxy has more stars than the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way are the largest galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy has a spiral structure. The Andromeda Galaxy was called Great Adromeda Neuble.

5. The Hubble Telescope is a powerful orbiting telescope that provides better images. It is named after an American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble. Astrnomers use this telescope to get images of celestial objects. The telescope launched in the 1990s circling Earth high above.

My Grade


1. Blog Post # 5, the wordle, because I like that we got to design our own puzzle and we got to choose our own words

2.Chapter 19, understanding air pressure, because I enjoyed learning about the earth's rotation, enjoyed learning about the factors of effecting wind.

3. I think I deserve a 100% because all of my blogs are completed.
