Which map projection is your favorite? Why? Include a picture.


             My favorite map projection is the mercator map. Its easier for me to read this map than the other three maps(The Robinson, Conic, and the Gnomonic maps.) I use the Mercator Map alot when my family and i go traveling. I can also understand this map better than the others.

"Which of the four sciences in Earth Science seems the most interesting to you? Why? Include at least one picture."

       Astronomy is the most interesting to me of the four sciences. I have always been facinated with the stars and planets. I have always wondered how exactly black holes work. i keep thinking about what would happen if i got close to it? Is there anything on the other side? i am not only interested in black holes but also are galaxy. Would our galaxy and our neighboring galaxy collide? There are so many unanswered questions about our outerspace that keeps me interested as well as all of the weird things out there. I crave to know alot about the space and yet i know so little about it.
